Hello Everyone,

 Well, term three has sure been an exciting and busy term. Room 14 learnt a lot about enterprise as we designed, created and marketed our own product for the Student Fete. We were so excited that we sold all our Pet Rocks and managed to make a profit too. We also learnt a lot about the difference between 'needs' and 'wants' while choosing what to spend our money on. Thanks again to Mrs Gallen and Mrs Slee for their help on the day. It was a little bit busy but a lot of fun.

Oliver, Tegan, Holly, Shawn, Cohen, Jacob and Naveed participated in the Cross Country and we are all so proud of them. It really is a long way for little ones to run and they should be so proud of the determination and persistence they showed in finishing the race. I am also very proud of the rest of Room 14 as they showed a great sense of community when they cheered on and supported their classmates. Fantastic job Room 14!

This term we have been focusing on how to build a sentence to create more interesting writing. We have been building our vocabulary with new 'Wow Words' and learning how to use a dictionary to look up the meaning of words. Although in this modern world Google has replaced this skill, it is still important for students to be able to look up words in alphabetical order and learn to decipher the meaning of words using our knowledge of antonyms and synonyms.

Thank you to all the parents for all their support during this busy term and we look forward to another fun and exciting time in term 4!
