MITCHELL’S NEW MYSTERY

Sofia was the winner of Mitchell’s last mystery.  Visit MITCHELL’S BLOG to read the clues then post a comment to try and solve his new riddle.    [It’s a really good clue…]

You also need to finish making your Detective badges, Room 6 Detectives.  Next week we can laminate them to wear in class.  Good luck with the mysteries…  😎

LETTER FROM THE QUEEN

 
Letter from the Queen

Royal Envelope

 

Our class recently wrote personal letters to Queen Elizabeth II, inviting her to visit Margaret River and our school whilst in Perth for CHOGM.  We have received letters back from the Director of CHOGM, Agent General for Government of Western Australia in London and, today we received a personal letter from Balmoral Castle.  Unfortunately, the Queen is unable to accept our invitation but she was very touched with our letters.  Here is a scanned copy of the letter we received and the Royal Mail envelope.  Well done, everybody!  You have shown how valuable a skill it is to be able to write letters to important people to  express your ideas.   I am very proud of your efforts.  Mrs Veary 🙂

Finish decorating Loch Ness Monster timelines (on desk near teacher) – and we need to do the sharing and discussing the timeline events now that they are in time order (we have read them before cutting them out).  These need to be completed and ready for display.
Chanel has a library book she brought in (on little whiteboard) showing what a pleisasaurus looks like.  Discuss.

A few students need to finish decorating their witch/wizard shapes with goals on the back – these are personal, but need to be ready for display

View WIZARD OF OZ (DVD) at front of room – students know where we are up to.
