This is it! The end of another busy school year.

We have come to the end of a very busy year in Room 17! I would like to wish all the students moving on to Year 9 all the best in their next steps ahead.  I hope that you take on board some Growth mindset concepts and remember to GOTAR.

Thank you to all the parents who have been involved in and supported the learning that went on in Room 17.  Your child gained from you doing so.

I appreciated all of the back up from parents with their children as well as the input into helping Room 17's programme happen.  This ranged from assisting with school trips, getting information quickly back to school, helping to get speakers, resources and information to help the learning grow.

Many thanks again.

Enjoy your holiday with your children.

LEARNZ Reading Activity

As part of the LEARNZ programme, one group explained their understanding the work of the early Antarctic explorers and scientists and compared that to the scientists and environmentalists who work in Antarctica today. They did so in a graphic organiser called a Fishbone Diagram.

Here Nav and Bailey have shown what they have found out and created a comparison of the two different groups of people who have worked in the coldest, driest and windiest place in the world.
