Class Trip to the City!
We took 3 different modes of transport! Bus, Ferry and Shank's Pony (walking).
We had morning tea in Devonport, then climbed Victoria Hill and ate lunch. We really liked the mushrooms!
Then we took the ferry- we saw lots of exciting buildings!
When we got to town we listened to some musicians! It was lots of fun!

Great first week back!
It has been an exciting first week back at school! We set new learning goals this week. We made these SMART-
Specific... I know exactly what I want to learn and how I can learn it
Measurable.... something I can learn to do in 9 weeks
Achievable.... something that I can just learn to do in 9 weeks
Relevant.... I want to learn to do something that will help my learning
Timebound... I have 9 weeks to learn this
Ask me what my SMART goal is and you can help me achieve this.

Dear Mrs McWhinnie,
Thank you for reminding us about being safe so we could go past teachers and throwing sand. I like the tiki-tour with Pharelle and Alex.
