Cause for Celebration 5: Briar, Matt and Maia

Today we had a fabulous first assembly. This was because of the outstanding year 6's (and some teachers) running it. Matt and Maia were two of these people. As MCs they were flexible and they were good speakers, considering they were the first MCs of the year.
Briar won the first merit certificate of the year for displaying exemplary work habits. It's no surprise as she is a very hard working student. She's sure to be successful all her life due to her wonderful personality.
Anton, Jordan and Max were also very helpful as technicians so they need to be acknowledged. Assembly wouldn't have been assembly without these guys.

Cause for Celebration 1: Maia

This year we will posting about all the things we have to celebrate in Room 11. This means all the successes we have such as, examples of great work, acknowledging outstanding attitude, effort and persistence, and recognising children who are great role models and who demonstrate our school values. I am sure we will be posting a lot!!!

Our first 'Cause for Celebration' is this excerpt of Maia's writing. I am sure you will agree that this piece of writing is funny, smart and really quite clever. If you know Maia, you can probably imagine her reading it!

The Incredibly Preposterous Story of Dollinger the Giraffe

Dollinger the Giraffe was born on April 1st. In giraffe lore this meant that she was destined for great things, like bird spotting or playing the trumpet. Actually, it turned out that she liked neither of this things, but instead preferred writing poems about elephants' feet and designing ropes.

So altogether she was not what giraffes called a typical 'April Firsty'....
