Room 19 - Mr Rod Montford (Year 7 & 8 Team Leader)
Another busy term is ahead of us in Room 19.
During week 1 we have our 2nd Sports Camp Team travelling to
Totara Springs, Matamata. This has 10 students from Room 19 involved!!
We also have our Turangi Camp in Week 6 for our whole syndicate. This will
be a great week.
Our Topics for this Term are Survival and Sustainability.
First we will be looking at the book Hatchet and then researching other
survival stories. We will complete a profile of an archetypal survivor. We
will then compare the attributes of our book character to those of a true
life survivor.
Our sustainability topic will be looking at energy resources and the earths
resources. We will touch on recycling and use the book “The Lorax” as a
guide to thinking about various issues and leaving the planet in a good
future state. We will be constructing various artworks from recycled
materials.
We also have speeches this term which are compulsory for all students. Each
student will be writing a short story as part of a short story focus unit
which is ongoing all term.
Technicraft happens weekly for us and is on Thursday afternoons at St
Andrews School. We also have children involved in learning support and GATE
groups throughout the term as well as the Waimaths Competition and Science
Fair.
X Country is on in Term 3 and all children will be required to train for
this in the first 5 weeks of term. Shorts and running shoes will be
required.
Below are some photos from our ANZAC and World Cup soccer work last term.
