Weekly Certificates and Assembly

This week, Koringoa received a certificate at assembly for Learning Forever. She went up a reading level over the summer. Great work Koringoa!

Also, two Meerkats were chosen to pick a Duffy Book today. William and Alex were put into a draw for the books because they were Caught Being Awesome by getting to the Superstar Rainbow. Well done boys! I hope you enjoy those books at home!

Learning About Space

Today, Azlyn and Darlene were learning about Space. Azlyn made a diagram of the solar system and included all of the names of the planets. He could even tell me how long a year is on Mercury. Do you know how long a year is on Mercury?

Meet the Teacher Picnic

This Tuesday, Rowandale hosted a Meet the Teacher Picnic. Students and families came, had some delicious sausages, got to play some amazing activities and had a chance to sit down with the teachers and talk about the year to come. Thank you to all the parents for coming to see us! We had some great conversations and I look forward to speaking with all of you in the future. For those of you did not make it, I am attempting to collect emails for all parents at school. These will be used for communication and information sharing. If you click on THIS LINK, you'll be sent to a simple form. Just fill out your child's name, your name and your email address. No need to do this if you've already given it to me. Thanks once again for coming!

Remember, your comments on this blog are always welcome. We do read them in class.

Learning to use Pic Collage

Today the Marvellous Meerkats learned how to take pictures on the iPads. With the photos we made a Pic Collage.

First Mr Davidson showed us how to take the pictures on the iPad. Next, he put us into groups. Then we took pictures of each other and we wrote our own names. Finally we sent the Pic Collages to Mr Davidson.

My favourite part was taking the pictures (Mu). It was cool doing the photo of the other people (Jalais). We took turns taking pictures (J-Lynn).
