Last Market Day!




We combined with Room 5 today and had our very last market day. It was great to see our buddies open up some cool shops and sell lots of product.

Here are some photos of the excitement.


Room 12 Highlights by Vote!

These are the things we liked the best about school this year. We voted for the things that were fun and exciting to do. The class's favourite things were Camp, Quiddage and our Chapter Challenge blog.
Camp was fun because we learnt how to believe in ourselves and not always be scared of your fears. We had new experiences like abseiling, horse riding and kayaking.
In quiddage we learnt the importance of money and how to sell and buy things with a certain amount of money. You actually had to put effort into the marketing of your business.
Our chapter challenge helped us to see how good a book can actually be by doing activities that helped us thinking and digging deeper into our selected book.
This year's been cool mostly because the people in our class are cool and we've enjoyed being self directed!
