Hello and welcome to the Room 12 Wiki for 2011!

A reminder to all students this is a school based activity, this is not a social networking site. This site is for students, parents and teachers to communicate about learning in 2011.

This is a school initiative and as such will be expected to always have respectful comments and be learning related. Each student will have their own Wiki page that will have their work regularly updated.

Hello to all, Term 2 has started with students who are all positive and ready to learn. We are into our Literacy and Numeracy programs. An Inquiry with Science being the focus for the term. We have started our new rotations in technology with groups swapping ICT/ Hard materials this term. This is another 11 week term with Science Fair due on Monday of Week 7, June 16th. This date is not negotiable and students need to have this as their target date. We will be learning how to construct an Explanation which will be formally assessed. The Inquiry/ Investigation of Science/Technology is expected to be constructed at home as well as school. We will be conducting experiments and demonstrating the skills of Inquiry and expecting students to transfer this learning to their Science boards. It could be an advantage to refer students to their learning at school to assist them in putting together their science board. Please keep a watch on this site for the newsletter about the Science Fair. Students already have this but I have asked them to keep it in their book. It will be on the navigation bar in the next few days. Hoping the weather holds longer and we get out as much as can. All parents of Room 12 students can feel confident you have enthusiastic students who have started the term well. Will update again soon!
