What a busy first week back in Gold class.

This week in maths we have been focusing on fractions. We worked on improper fractions; multiplying fractions and equivalent fractions.

In English we have been looking at the body’s circulatory system. Finding out what words like ‘platelets’ and ‘cells’ mean when talking about our bodies. We finished off this work by writing some open ended questions.

On Wednesday all the juniors had a MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING assembly with Ross. We learned some coping strategies for when we feel nervous and anxious. We was shown the High Five and Box techniques to help us stay calm. We think everyone should visit https://www.cuppajourney.com/ and see how it can help you to.

We had to create our own piece of art in our Art class. This took a bit of researching first.

In Geography we did some research on capital cities from around the world. Did you know that the capital of Australia is not Sydney, its Canberra.

On Friday we were visited by two trainee teachers. We did our best to make them feel welcome.
