Weekly Tasks - Term 3, Week 5

Here are the tasks for Term 3, Week 5. Your major task this week is writing an essay about a song.

Remember to use the time you have at school wisely - you should be able to achieve most of your tasks during class time if you don't waste any time. Make sure your tasks are finished by morning tea on Friday so you can have some time for your Passion Project.

Here are the lyrics and notes to help you with your song essay:

Olympic Fun

For the last few weeks we have been learning about the Olympics and following the sports with interest. This week students had to organise some Olympic events and run them for the class, with the emphasis being on fun rather than sporting prowess. Here are some photos - good luck guessing the events!

Book Groups

For the next few weeks students from all three classes will be working together in book groups. They read a few chapters at a time, then meet to discuss them twice a week. If some groups are very organised and having thoughtful discussions, they will get to 'unlock crackers' and bring some in food to aid their discussions.
