Week 1, new classroom, new class.....


What a fantastic first week from the new Room 11, which is housing our Year 8 students...

Room 11’s Views on the New Classroom

We are very fortunate to have a brand new classroom for our Year 8 students.  It has been purpose built with them in mind and these are Room 11’s thoughts on it after Day One:

  • It’s spacious for Year 8 students who take up more room (Kynan)
  • The air conditioning unit helps us focus on a hot day (Keegan)
  • Having the cloak bay outside means there is more room for us inside (Brittany)
  • It feels like it’s a lighter atmosphere with all the colours and windows (Lucy S)
  • It is right next to the playground so we can get there first! (Laura)
  • The sliding doors make for easy access and are easy to use (Lucy H)
  • The verdana is a big area so we can work outside effectively (Keegan)
They have also been working very hard on 'passport' activities to set the scene as to the routines, procedures and expectations of them as Year 8 students in Room 11.  Below are some photos of the class in action....
