Welcome to Room 21
Welcome back to Term 4, which will be a busy term filled with Senior Camp in Week 2, Athletics practice and then our Athletics Day at Porritt Stadium and enjoying all of the celebrations in Term 4. To all our Room 21 Year 8's, all the best for your final term. Hopefully the holidays held some adventure, fun and rest and relaxation for our Rm 21 families.
Literacy Learning
This term our Literacy Learning will be linked to camp and being imaginative.
Early in the term we will focus our writing around camp and then look at created narratives to stretch our imagination.
This will then flow into our Reading, where we will look at creative stories, identifying plots and themes.
