Term 3 is kicking off!

Welcome to term three!
As we get into this chilly term, can you please ensure your child brings their laptop to school everyday.  This term we are doing some exciting ICT learning, so it is important that every student has their laptop here and ready to go!

Our topic learning this term is based in the arts with the opportunity for parents to attend a process performance in week 10.

Have a great term three!

Meet the Teacher Presentation - Expectations, Homework, Classroom Learning & Communication

Here is the presentation from the Meet the  Teacher evening from week 3!

Meet the Teacher Presentation

Who, What, Where and When?

Because there are two teachers in Room 17, it can be tricky to remember who is in the classroom when, and what they are teaching!

Mrs Grant (Shay) is in the classroom Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.  Mrs Bowler (Angela) is in the classroom Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Tuesday is broken up into three blocks - the first block is Technology when all the students go to exciting technology lessons.   The second block will be taught by either Mrs Grant or Mrs Bowler, with the last block taught by the other teacher.

Maths, reading, writing, topic, and p.e. are all taught throughout the week by both Mrs Grant and Mrs Bowler.  

Welcome to the Room 17 Blog.

Room 17 is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) classroom, taught by Mrs Grant and Mrs Bowler.

Here you will find links to all student blogs and a link to the Fairfield Intermediate School website alongside important information about Room 17's learning.
