This term we’ll be looking at our rights and our responsibilities, and how they connect. We all have rights, so do we all have responsibilities? Do we all have the same rights? These are some of the questions we’ll be discussing in class. So, switch your brain on when you come in and get ready for some thinking, and discussion!
There are some specific rights for children and UNICEF has created 2 photo essays to help understand them. Here is the link to the first one.
Well, I hope you have all enjoyed this first week as much as I have! (I must admit that I’m a bit tired though 
)
Commenting on our blog is part of this fortnight’s lifestyle homework, so I’d like you to answer the following questions:
I’m looking forward to learning more about you all as the year goes on.
Enjoy your weekend!
This term all students will be completing a reading assignment. They will be required to read 5 books during the term, including a picture book and a non-fiction book. Novels need to be by different authors. As there is an expectation that all students complete the premier’s Reading Challenge this will help to achieve the minimum 12 books for the challenge.
Details of the assignment are on the Reading Assignment page. This is a great opportunity to try out some new authors, and to find some information about something you know little about. There will be regular class time for reading and there will always be reading in your lifestyle homework contract.

Welcome to Room 13’s blog for 2010!
I’m sure that we’ll use this blog as much as our 2009 class did! We received over 6,000 visitors on our class blog last year – are we up for the challenge of trying to beat that this year? You can see our 2009 blog here.
We’ll be posting information about our learning, school activities, ideas and links to our work. I hope that you will visit and leave us a comment or two. We just love comments . We will also be taking part in the Blogging Challenge again this year and hope to link up with some other classes around the world.
I’m definitely looking forward to an interesting year!
