This term we have been holding our own class elections. Three parties were created as well as a media team. Each member of the party was allocated a role to complete during the election campaign. These roles included marketing team, public relations, researchers and party leaders. The media team have kept us up to date with the latest election campaign information. The senior school election will be held on the last day of term.

Celebrating our Strengths
Here is Lochy sharing his strength goal. He set up a science experiment to show us the reaction caused when adding coke with mentos.
Leilani and Jack (with the help of Jorja and Harrison) planned and implemented a PE lesson. Their lessons included a warm up, skills development, game and warm down. Both lessons were great fun and very hands on!

Term 3 Electives
For the next six weeks we will be doing electives such as, Drama, Science, Current Events, Building, Cell me a story, Strategy and structure as well as art.
Drama includes getting together with friends and making plays to perform in front of the rest of the group. Science is about learning new things and doing experiments. Current Events is when you learn about the events happening now. Building is taught by Mr Galloway, and Mr Vinacom, and there they build different creations. Cell me a story includes doing green screening, claymation and writing. Strategy and structure’ includes building items up using a few resources and creating things. Art is an opportunity to sketch, draw and paint.
Electives have been fun lately, and once they are finished we will share them in front of the rest of the senior team.

Term 2
Brain Visit
On the 3rd of July Room 13 went to the hall and discovered a giant inflatable brain. We then split up into three groups and went to different stations. One of them was looking inside the inflatable brain. Another on had the chance to use a pepitte, vial and vortex mixer. The final group got to touch plastic and real life brains. We saw a brain that was affected by Alzheimer's, another that had had a stroke and we also saw a healthy brain. It was a fun and interesting visit.By Lochy, Harrison and Jack
Life Education Bus
Over the last few weeks we have been learning all about the brain (I'm sure Ms Pereira sometimes wonders where our brains are at). On the 2nd and 3rd of July our class went to see Harold at the Life Education Bus. We learnt a lot and we even met the Brainy Bunch! Did you know that when someone is having laser surgery on their brain that it can smell like blue vein cheese? (Yuck!) we also learnt that to keep your brain healthy you need it healthy foods like, nuts, tomatoes, spinach, yogurt, blue berries and so on.

Bake Sale
Compassion was our value of the term. As part of our compassion project we had a bake sale to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation. Leilani and Jessica organised the bake sale with the help of Room 13. There was lots of delicious treats for sale. In total we raised $321. An impressive amount for a class of only 22 students. Well done Room 13!

Strength Goal
We have been working on our Strength Goals in Room 13. Every second Wednesday we have a chance to work on them in class. We all have different strengths. Some of us have a strength in creating, building, art, sport and in academic areas. Leilani shared her strength goal the other day. Her strength is Netball. She created a lesson plan, took our warm up, skills session and then we got to play a fun netball game. We all hope to share our strength and challenge goals next term.
