Class Presidents
Following a wonderful campaign and a top secret vote , the winners of the Class President 2016 have been announced. Congratulations to Sara and Rebecca on giving a very inspiring speech.
Throughout this campaign we have learned a lot about how the voting system works. We learned about 'spoiled votes' - we had seven spoiled votes in our ballot.
We learned about reaching a quota- we had to do a second count and transfer votes from other candidates until the quota was reached.
Well done to everyone that put themselves forward for nomination - there were some fantastic posters and rousing speeches in room 29 over the last few weeks! I think we have a few future politicians in our midst!

Safety tips when cycling / walking to school
Today, we watched a video about The Macey Family. We noted how the evenings and mornings are now much darker since we have returned after the Mid Term Break. We reminded ourselves of these simple tips:
- Always wear a helmet
- Wear high vis jackets/armbands
- Always have a light on your bike
- Cycle in the cycle lane - watch out for pedestrians if on the footpath
- Use hand signals if you are cycling on the road ( you should be 12 or over)
- Only use your bicycle bell as a warning don't mess
- Never ever wear headphones when cycling
- Always cross at traffic lights/with the lollipop lady/ at the zebra crossing
This week we've been getting to know each other. We have been learning all about everyone's hobbies and special talents.
We recognise how everyone in our classroom is unique and we respect each other.
We devised a set of 'Classroom Guidelines' for good behaviour during the year. We want to make fourth class an enjoyable year for everyone.
We All Fit Together
