8.12

WELCOME TO THE 8.12 WIKISPACE Welcome to 2011 everyone! This Wikspace will be the one stop resource for all information regarding room 8.12. The assignments the boys will be required to complete will be on this page for you to download. These sheets will be able to be printed from home which will hopefully mean that the excuse of "I didn't get that assignment sheet" can be put to rest. If there is any other important information or forms that need to be sent home, they will also appear on this page or on the home page.

I will be the 8.12 Homeroom teacher and also will take the boys for the following subjects in 2011 - Student Development, Flexible Learning, Maths and Science.

The following teachers will also be working with 8.12 throughout 2011:


 * English - Miss Kate Fallon
 * SOSE - Mrs Jenny Johnson
 * Religion - Mr Tony Hayes

We are all really looking forward to working with the 8.12 boys and their families this year. We have a great classroom and the boys have already set their standards high with regards to their personal presentation and organisation. Hopefully we can keep this up all year!

Kind Regards

//8.12 Homeroom Teacher//

During Term 3 and 4 the boys will be looking at the Middle Ages and the Crusades. They will be looking at the Norman invasion of England, the Battle of Hastings and William the Conqueror. They will be viewing A Knights Tale and making comparisons between the information they have gathered about The Middle Ages and Knights and the accuracies/ or lack of accuracy in the film as their first major assignment. . For the first 5 weeks of Term 2 we are focussing on the Image of God which we see ourselves, how the bible portrays the image of God and how we can be part of God's work and image in our daily lives.
