A Trip to NorthHead

On Wednesday, Room 8 went on a trip to North head. We bused, took a ferry and even walked up MT Victoria. The reason why we took a trip to North Head was because this term we are learning about ANZAC. It was an amazing time and I learnt that 40 prisoners were kept busy rebuilding the fortifications at North Head.

Here is a KWL chart Showing what I learnt when we were at North Head...

Tuesday's Homework - Current Events T1W7

For Homework today I did an activity on current events. My current event was about 'Cyclone remnants set 'Pack a punch'.' 

This article was about a cyclone that hit Tonga which was called 'Cyclone Luci' After all that happened finished it then moved on, so now a big massive storm is heading our way and it will probably last till up to 3-4 days, it depends. 

So all I've got to say is 'Be prepared'.

Class Reflection 2014

Friday 7th March 2014

Section 1: What I did wrong?

Today during school, I have distracted people around me which didn’t help them learn at all. To me this means I have to control myself from talking to others around me and also I have to complete tasks within the time given without distracting

Section 2: Why did I do it?

Well I think this is because people around me also distract me by talking to me which often happens once a day or nearly everyday.  

Section 3: What I can do to improve?

I can improve by sitting somewhere else when someone is talking to me or I could walk away.

Section 4: The Steps on how to improve...

- Walkaway when people talk me

- By sitting somewhere else
