MIDDLE LEVEL NEWS
In the Middle Level we have been building up our learning environment and promoting positive learning behaviours. Students have been finding out about eSafety, themselves and others, team building and making prayer a focus of our day. Here are some of our thoughts: -
Religious Education - Setting up our prayer routine began with classes deciding on their Mary MacKillop quote to be added to their prayer cloth. This will be used for prayer each day.
“What I have really liked is how we have been planning and creating our prayer mat together and learning about different types of prayer.” - David (3RJ)
Esafety - Tuesday 8th of February was Safer Internet Day. The students in the middle level have been learning about how to be safe online. Here are some of the things that the students in 3BE have learnt:
Toby - “Don’t tell anyone your passwords.”
Gurgeet - “Don’t message people you do not know.”
Tyler - “You can only tell people online things you like but not your private information.”
Aaria - “Don’t tell anyone your address.”
Wuri - “The safety hand tells us the people we trust and who can help us.”
Learning to Learn - Students are discovering how they learn and what good learning behaviours look like in the classroom. They are discovering and sharing information about themselves with others including strengths and challenges.

"What we all did was a T-shirt with a self portrait of ourselves and we had to draw our favourite subject, food, pets, colour and drink. I liked doing it because it was fun and we could learn about our classmates and learn what they liked. Our classmates learned about our family and we learned about their pets and family. It helped because we could get to know everyone and find out what they liked if we didn’t already know".
Emily from 4CM said:
"What I liked about it was drawing the pictures and colouring it in. It helped my classmates to learn about me and making connections with each other. I did a selfie of me and I drew some pictures of what I liked. I drew my favourite animal, video game, book, hobbies, colour and food. What I loved most doing is drawing my selfie and favourite food.”
Middle Level Sport - Each Friday the middle level participates in team building activities with each other. With Mr Tim and classroom teachers, they set up equipment and support each other in being fair, supportive and acknowledging the contribution of others. Here are some of the reflections from 4HF:
“It's not about winning” Immy
“Having other people in the team help you” Chloe
“Knowing the rules of the game mean we all can play” Tyler
“Letting others join in is important at our school” Peppi
