Today was the day that the Netbook computers arrived in our classroom.  We have been busy learning how to use them and exploring all of the cool features.  Tell everyone what you think about them by leaving a comment.

Well done to Luke and Alicia who this week recieved the ‘Managing Impulsivity’ award for this month. They are both examples of students who work hard and try their best. Because of the choices they make at school, both of them acheive great success. You are an excellent example to the rest of the class, keep up the terrific work!

Follow the link below to have a go at ‘Fling the teacher’. It is a really cool game that tests your knowledge about Captain Cook.
