What a fantastic and busy start to Term 2 it has been in Room 12!

In Maths, we've been diving into the world of subtraction and equivalent fractions. To help us grasp these tricky concepts, we've been playing some fun and interactive games which have made learning both exciting and hands-on. We also competed in our first APSMO math contest and had a lot of fun problem solving and working as a team. 

For Mother’s Day, Room 12 turned into a creative studio! Students crafted beautiful masterpieces for their mums—some designed charming coffee cups, while others created delightful pot plants with succulents. The love and effort poured into these gifts were truly heartwarming.

In Talk for Writing, we’ve been working with the model text “How to Make Your Teacher Happy.” This has inspired us to write our own procedure innovations. Our imaginations have run wild with topics like “How to Annoy Your Brother,” “How to Train a Puppy,” and “How to Make Your Parents Happy.” It’s been a joy to see everyone’s creativity shine through their writing.

In HASS, we’ve been exploring Civics and Citizenship. Students have learned about the importance of rules and laws, the three levels of government, and what responsibilities each level holds. We’re now beginning an exciting research project on the services provided by the City of Joondalup, which will lead to the creation of informative pamphlets showcasing what we’ve discovered.

Term 2 is certainly a busy one, but Room 12 is embracing every moment. We’re loving the challenge of learning new concepts and growing together as a class.
