Ardmore+School

Welcome to the Ardmore School Page.

This presentation was completed by a Year 8 student to round out a unit on leadership. Students had to write a biography of a leader of their choice. The children used Jamie McKenzie's Biography Maker as the basis for the biography.

Some photos of our recent contribution to the 'Summits for Ed' tribute tour for Sir Edmund Hillary...

The Year 6, 7 and 8 students attended a careers presentation from a forensic scientist from ESR. It's not as glamourous as the television!!

The following photos show ICT and higher level thinking skills being used in the classroom (ignore date stamp on photos, these were all taken in May 2008)



Recent work in our school during term 3 and term 4 2008 follows.... These are some presentations done by a Year 7 class following a Cybersafety presentation by Netsafe..



Room 7 have used a Ralph Pirozzo grid as the basis for study this term. Children can choose an activity to do from the grid based on their learning style. Points are awarded with more points awarded if a higher order thinking skill is used!
 * The theme for term 4 is "Where is water?"**

The grid used is shown below with some examples of work completed shown below that.



Room 7 have also completed a learning journal which is shown in the powerpoint below...



The following are presentations given to the staff following conferences attended this year...
