Silly Poems

Some Very Silly Poems

In Smago town

We go round and round

All in Sombreros

And when the pit go pop

We all do the flop

Before the Sagosack

Catches us!

Listen to the whole of the poem and more on the clip.

Wonderings about developing business ideas (goods and services)

We have started a new Inquiry looking at a provocation that… Money makes the world go round!

The two main areas of study will be:
 - Exploring how money works
 - Designing a product or service, developing business ideas.

We have started gathering initial wonderings and questions. Please add your own.

Wonderings about money

Making a Contribution - Student Council

 This week we got into our new Student Council groups, with the new leaders. The leaders all did a quick presentation about what they thought was important about the role and what they thought they could bring to it. Then we got to work, sorting out priorities for the term and rosters as to who would do what jobs, or brainstorming what the priorities for the group should be.

The groups are:
 - Library
 - ICT
 - PALs
 - Gardens
 - Compost
 - Trapping
 - Outdoor classroom
 - Choir
 - Social

If you have any skills or tools that you would like to share with the students to help with any of these groups, please let John, Gabrielle or Hamish know.

Getting ready for next year

Today we got together with the Year 3, 4 and 5 students to start getting to know each other and work together. Today we started by looking at what character strengths animals have.
