Gallery Seven News - Term 1, Week 10, 2012

Alicya and Jewels were our Kowhai Express Stars this week. Alicya got her award for being an engaged learner who always strives for excellence and Jewels got his for being a thoughtful student who welcomes visitors and thanks those who help him without prompting.
This week has been all about dinosaurs, we made dinosaurs,  wrote about dinosaurs, read dinosaurs and had fun with dinosaurs. Some of the things we did this week were, bake dinosaur cakes, make a dinosaur cove with an erupting volcano, made fossils of shells, became palaeontologist smashing stone to find dinosaurs, taught some children from Bright Beginnings Montessori Preschool about some things we had learnt about dinosaurs, worked on our papier mache Ankylosaurus and ate a giant chocolate
T-Rex dinosaur egg.
This week the Artisan award went to all of the students of Gallery Seven for being engaged, persistent and resourceful  students who are beginning to independently acknowledge and thank those who help them on their learning journey.
