Well here we are – the start of the 2013 school year. There have been a few changes here at the Brooke Street campus of Camperdown College. We have a new campus principal (welcome Mrs Hall), a new Prep teacher (welcome Ms Clark) and a new Indonesian teacher (welcome Bu Jenna). Indonesian is a whole new subject for us and we are really looking forward to learning about the language and the culture.
The Year 5 & 6 classes have moved to the new building and the Year 3 & 4 classes to Rooms 7, 8 & 9. Mr Bennett is back in the classroom teaching Years 5&6 and Mrs Nelson is also teaching Years 5&6, along with Ms Norton.
Our first class serial this year is Rowan of Rin by Emily Rodda (one of my favourite authors). In Literacy we are working on writing recounts and answering questions in full sentences. In Maths we are learning about 2D shapes and lines. We have started our swimming program as well as had Library, Science and PE lessons. We have even handed out the first lot of homework for 2013.
It has been a busy start to the year as always and it has been a very positive one, with classes settling in quickly and making a great start on the important learning in Years 5 & 6.
What do you like most about the changes at Brooke Street?
How do you feel about your start to the year and why?

hello Ms Norton,
your blog is really great and I hope mine turns out like yours. I haven’t been able to explore it too much yet. I just really like the look of this one! Hope you like my comment, sincerely Taylah:)
Hi Mrs Norton,
We really like your blog,there are a lot of things to do. The best bit about the changes at brooke street are that the grade 5/6 stdents get to be in the BER building. We both love our classes and teachers. We are really looking foward to getting our own laptops and going on our school camp to Melbourne.
Hi Ms N,
I like the new teachers especially Bu Jenna teaching Indonesian. The library is the best it has ever been.
