 * Term 2 Update**

Last term zipped by! Our newly renovated rooms are light and airy and great places to teach and learn. The whole community turned out for our Treemendous Makeover day, transforming the bog into a wonderful native area, complete with fitness track and outdoor picnic tables. It was great to get some more ideas from conference and to get to know you a bit more. Thanks for being such willing photo models.

Our junior class used writing over photos to express 2 aspects of our learning last term. They developed some more ICT skills in posing, taking photos, working in Word to insert, save, select suitable colour etc... The resulting wall display showing Feelings and Faces work has attracted a lot of attention from visitors to school. We've had a few sad techie things happen with a laptop and printer deleting themselves from our asset register, and Jenny has been a big help in sorting out the gremlins. The whole school took part in World Maths Day, again learning with ICT. We are thinking about the Mathletics programme. Anyone had any experience with it?

This term we are looking at "Mysteries and Solutions", a forensics science unit with heaps of internet resources for teachers and students, great language and science opportunities. Fiona and Tina are well into fundraising to go to Deep Cove with seniors in a few weeks time. Great weather for cross country training.

We took photos as we acted out the story of "The Enormous Swede". We'll use these to retell the story using Powerpoint. An example of use of ICT to report on student achievement- Excel. These graphs formed part of a full report on literacy to BOT
