Can you believe how fast time is flying by?

What a spectacular year 1/2S have had!

This week we have been busy planning and

writing a newspaper article to persuade our

readers.

We are still working hard during our Daily 5

and Maths stations and reaching our goals in

the engine room with Miss Sikahele. We have

been learning about the Zones of Regulation

and recognising the different types of

emotions we may feel.

1/2S are loving their garden time! Check out

our photos. We juiced some vegetables and

these big smiles were telling me they loved it!

What a great start to term 4 for 5/6M.

We have had such a great time in the garden

cooking up a storm, playing chess and planting

some new seeds.

We have had a great time role playing

emotions and identifying them in Zones of

Regulation and have started our Dance 2B Fit

class to get ready for the Year 6 Farewell!

Look at us go! Can’t wait to see what happens

next in our classroom!

BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (BYOD) YEAR 7 2019 Students in Year 7 2019 at Francis Greenway High School will be involved in the relaunch of our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy. By facilitating BYOD, we can empower our students, giving them direct involvement in the way technology is used in their learning. Year 7 students will be required to bring a suitable computing device that meets our school’s BYOD requirements to school every day from 2019. We have established a partnership with Harvey Norman to provide you with affordable, compatible devices. Please see the specialists in the Rutherford store to meet all of your BYOD needs for 2019 or view the compatible devices on their website http://www.harveynormanbusiness.com.au/fghs2018portal
