Congratulations Millie!

"I was really surprised when I found out that I had won in my age group for the Crafty Kyle's competition." "I was quite excited when I saw inside the prize pack," " I saw that two of the books were signed by Kyle Mewburn!" - Millie Y3

What's on top in Rm 13!

Over the past week we have been learning about poems. First we learnt about Acrostic poems and now we are working on Diamond poems. 

For our Acrostic poems we made fabulous Fireworks Acrostic poems and we decorated them with glittery fireworks!


To write a Diamond poem you have 1 line with 1 word, a 2nd line with 2 words, for the 3rd you write 3 words, the 4th line is 4 words. The last line is 1 word. This makes a diamond shape with the words.




EXAMPLE OF A DIAMOND POEM
If you want to come see the Firework Acrostic poems come to Room 13 - they will be hanging in front of the window wall.

Callum, Elsie, Rachana, Josh (with a little help from the rest of the group!).

Carnival Day

Room 13 were at a carnival in the hall on Wednesday the 5th that the Year 8's prepared for us.

There were lots of fun activities like; suck the smarties, haunted house, ping pong, hole in one, face painting, go fish and many more.

The Year 8's organised and ran the whole event.


We loved it, it was terrific and fantastic! To show our appreciation, we made cards and wrote letters to thank them.
