Weekly Reflections

Today we started our weekly reflections. From now on every Friday we will be reflecting on our week whether it is informal by discussing our week as a class or formal by recording it in our Record of Learning. This is a great way to see how we are tracking each week and see how we can make our time at Casebrook even better.

This week as a class we shared our peak and our pit of the week.

Beach Trek

We had an awesome day walking from New Brighton beach to Spencer Park. The weather played its part and it was a great way to finish off our Adventure Days for 2017.

Well done to the whole Year 7 team who showed a lot of perseverance to get through the big 10km walk.

Attitude Talk

On Wednesday we had Zoey from Attitude come and talk to the Year 7's about friendships. Zoey talked about different types of friendships, how to make friendships and how to keep them. It was a very entertaining and informative talk.

Elections 2017

Today we voted on who is going to be our student leaders for Room 9 for 2017. This is a great leadership role where the student elected becomes the class voice at student council meetings and represents the school at school events.

Well done to all students who ran for this role the presentations were engaging and entertaining. In writing this week we have been focusing on persuasive writing and focussing on how to hook in and engage our audience. These skills were evident during the student leader presentations.

We voted today and our student leaders will be announced at the start of next week.

High in the Sky
