COMMUNICATION

Tell me at least three ways in which your school holidays would be different if you were not allowed to communicate with anyone else unless it was in person. ( you have to actually be with the person to communicate with them)






Is communication important in your life – why or why not?

THIS IS SO CUTE



IT'S ACADEMIC-WELL DONE YEAR SIX COMPETITORS

WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY WE HAD AT IT'S ACADEMIC - CONGRATULATIONS TO THE COMPETITORS AND THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS.

Did we learn anything whilst we were having so much fun? - Let's find out.


1) Why do you think that the contestants had to wear makeup?



2) There seemed to be a lot of camera men at the studio - I think that one camera man would have been enough. Do you agree or disagree with me? Dont forget to give reasons for your answers.



3) Contestants here's a question for you - were you able to see the audience members when you were competing? Was this a good or bad thing?



4) One episode of Its Academic is only on the T.V. for half an hour. Think of at least 3 reasons why it might take up to at least an hour to actually film an episode?



5) What was the most interesting part of your day? (Dont forget to include the reasons why it was interesting)



6) Do you think that a show like Its Academic is something that all schools should try to be part of?



7) Who now wants to be a televsion celebrtity?


8) It was exciting to see Jack from "Home and Away". He probably felt very excited that most of us knew who he was. Do you think that there would be a "down side" to being recognised by so many people?

THE QUEST FOR A MEDALLION CONTINUES!!

SOME THOUGHTS FOR YEAR SIX!!

Choose at least two words to describe how you think you may feel if you were to be presented with your medallion.

Tell me three reasons why you think our "Award System" is a positive thing.

Are there any disadvantages of our Token Award System?

Can you think of a 'catchy' name for our award system?

Did you know that your parents/family are invited to the medallion presentation assembly and to an afternoon tea with Mr B and yourself?

Do you think that this is a positive way to recognise the achievement of being awarded the medallion?

Can you think of any ways in which the award system could be improved?

If you are to be awarded a Principals Medallion before leaving our school where do you think you might keep it - and why do you think this would be the best place to keep it?

What is ART to you?????

We've had a few classes now using the Jackson Pollock site to make pictures. It's great isn't it! But there really is a great artist by this name....who painted pictures in this style. Have a read about him at http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/pollock/.

What do you think about this type of work? Is it ART to you????
