Hi my name is Rebecca,and I was chosen to be in the student council reps.
The student council talks about how we can help improve our school,e.g: our schools education,surroundings and play areas.
We decided to make a box that people use to put notes in about how we can help add things to our school ,not only for their entertainment but also for education.
This month we talked to our class about what makes a good citizen. Room 3 decided it was
  • always doing the right thing (even when no one is looking!)
  • Someone who cares about others
  • Someone who thinks about others and does something thoughtful to help them.
  • Someone who cooperates with others
  • Someone who values and respects others and shows courtesy.
  • Someone who is friendly
  • Someone you can rely on and they are responsible.

Are you a good citizen?

Our garden


Room 3 has been making a garden like the rest of the school. We have carrots,broccolli
flower,capiscum,lettuce,chillies,cauliflower and pizza thyme.
We have watered it and our garden has had lots of sun.
We have watched it grow since we planted it.
Ray Tischik made the base out of wood then Steffania and John filled
it up with soil, then we put string to mark off each class.
We enjoy having a garden because we hope to be able to bake some food out
of it with all of the ingredeints - we could make a pizza!
Imagine a soft but crunchy deli pizza with some pizza thyme,
capiscun and chillies on top with home made dough for the base.
