We have made a super start to our Year 6 journey. It is certainly going to be a marvellous year.
We have set ourselves goals to achieve and talked about what we are looking forward to this year.
We know the qualities that makes us superheroes. We have talked about our own personal superpowers and are keen to gain more powers as the year progresses.
Some of our superpowers include:
Teamwork to cooperate with others
Bravery to keep trying when things get tough
Kindness to help others
Curiosity to learn new things
Resilience to bounce back when things do not go our way
So far this term we have enjoyed:
Meeting and getting to know our teachers, Ms Muir and Mrs Gibson.
Creating our own superhero identity.
Participating in team building activities with 6P on Tuesday mornings.
Learning about circuits in Science .
Voting on our Year 6 t-shirt design. We can’t wait for them to arrive!
Starting to create Onomatopoeia art.
Reading about the Egyptian Queen who became a pharaoh.
The opportunity to nominate for House Captains and SRC.
We cannot wait to see what else will happen this year and make the most of our last year at Morgan Street Public School.
