Meet Gazza!

Gazza (The Brainy Bear) is Room 27's mascot. He is a really smart bear. When he has a problem to solve he ALWAYS thinks successfully using the Habits of Mind.

Sinead, Oliver and Brooke are busy preparing some extra 'stuff' on the Habits of Mind, which they will share in Term 2!

Bake Sale!!!

Sinead's cousin, Siobhan Hoare is selling fudge, chocolate chip cookies and homemade lemonade this Saturday, the 2nd April, outside her house - 46 St. Albans Street from 10am to 11:30am.

Please pop along and purchase some delicious baking and some refreshing drink.

The profits will be donated to Red Cross.

Picasso Self Portraits...

In Room 27, we created some stunning ‘Pablo Picasso’ Self Portraits. If you’d like to learn how to create your own, ask one of the super artists in Room 27 and they’ll tell you how. 

This Is My Place....

Everyone has a place that is special or important to them, and a unique reason why that place has a special significance!

Your homework task this week is to:

a) Compose and capture one still digital image (photo) that best illustrates your special place.

b) Write one to two paragraphs describing your special place and why it has significance to you.

c) Combine your photograph and description to create an effective static image.

d) Bring it to school for sharing on Friday 25th February.

Please remember to have a look at the example that is on display in the classroom.

Room 27's Swimming Lessons - Term 1!

Room 27 will be participating in swimming at Aquagym next week (14th to the 18th of February)!  There is a cost of $23 for these lessons, this includes transport.   We will be departing school at 10:30am, swim from 11 to 11:30am, then depart Aquagym at 11:45am.

The school realises that the lessons are an extra cost above the Activity Fee, but feel it is an essential skill for the childrens' safety that complements the school's own swim programme. The cost has been reduced by the Governemnts contribution to encourage participation in Physical Education. Please make payment to the office as soon as possible. If payment is proving difficult, please apply in writing to Mrs. Warren.

School Council Guidelines...

The St. Albans School Council will be made up of Senior Students. These students will attend weekly meetings to assist in the running of the school. All classes, including the seniors, are asked to run weekly or at least fortnightly meetings to discuss any issues that your children feel need to be addressed. Middle and Junior classes are asked to have a class representative whose responsibility is to liaise with the School Council on matters of concern. Junior and Middle children will not attend the School Council meetings.

Mr. McKenzie's School Council reps will come to each class at a time that suits each teacher and report the Council Minutes and liaise with children on matters of concern negative and POSITIVE!

Room 27 students who wish to be members must present a speech to the class on Thursday the 17th of February. The speech needs to include information such as why they would be an excellent School Council representative, what initiatives they have that would benefit the school, and anything else that they see as appropriate.

If you have any questions, please just ask!
