Students selected their countries based on a survey of countries of origin of families of Year 7 students. There were 12 stalls representing India, South Africa, Scotland, England, Russia, Vietnam, Iceland, Denmark, New Zealand, the Philippines, Italy and Germany. Students had researched many aspects of their chosen countries and were able to answer a variety of questions on areas such as government, traditional foods and dance, significant landmarks, topographical features and climate, religion, etc. Parents, children and school staff were very impressed by the knowledge, effort and enthusiasm of the students as they entertained us with this wonderful showcase of learning.

This term, 1S has been learning about how to care for our pets. First, we brainstormed the information we needed to know. Then we made a graph of our favourite pets and completed activites about what our pets look like, where they sleep, how we care for them, etc. We also conducted a survey of the students of St Anthony's school to find out their favourite pet. The pictures above show our results. As you can see, dogs are the favourite pet of students at our school by a wide margin.
