This week has been very busy for Gold class. We've had assemblies, birthdays, and fun workshops!

In our literacy lessons, we have been focusing on poems and rhyming couplets. Rhyming couplets are two words that rhyme together. You can usually find them in poems at the end of a sentence. We brainstormed some ideas and then had the chance to come up with our own poems. We also had to do a boring reading assessment but luckily it was sort of easy.

We started the week with an exciting and very interesting workshop on problem solving. We were given many challenges that we had to solve in groups of six. We found some harder than others but the penguin challenge was the hardest of them all. We also had a school council assembly where we had a visitor come in and tell us a story about an amazing boy who escaped a carpet factory that forced children aged 4/5/6 to make carpets. It was very shocking and sad to hear.

In general news, we celebrated Mrs Anderson's birthday. We sang her happy birthday in Spanish and enjoyed some yummy and scrumptious cakes!!! It was all very exciting!
