Ardmore School Leaders and House Leaders 2008




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.

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..




The theme for term 4 is "Where is water?"
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 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...
