Week 6: Film Making has started....

This week we will be filming our movies.

We started with a read-through of our scripts.

Week 6: Assembly and Character Study

Last week, Rooms 12 and 13 were on assembly. We were very proud of our students who presented confidently in front of their roopu. Room 13 described characters (personality and how they looked like). Room 12 used their inferencing skills to describe a Moana character. They then changed the song so that the character was more nicer or humble. Their video is below:



Varun, Rehaan and Lukas also made drums.

We also started to learn how to retell using shadow puppets and lightboxes.

Week 4: Swimming Water Safety Skills

For the last two weeks we have been having water safety lessons at swimming. We have been shown how to float when we get into trouble in water. We were lucky enough to be taught how to get ourselves back into a boat if we go over board. These are great skills that will helps us when we are ever in water. We all now feel more confident when swimming or playing in the sea or pool

Week 2: Book Week

We celebrated the end of book week with a book character parade. How many characters do you recognise?

W2, T3: Book Week

This week we celebrated books!

There was a variety of lunchtime activities in the library - Guess the Character, Design a book cover, Make a bookmark, & Making mini books.  

It was fantastic to see people come to school in their PJs and be entertained with the story of Three Billy Goats Gruff. 

In class, we read with our buddies, our buddy teachers read to us and we drew our favourite book character. The Wild had to describe the character and how they overcame failure. 

We ended the week with a Book Character Parade. Thank you to all those that made effort to come and dress up as a book character - we were very proud. 

Week 1- Stardome and Origami

Our first week back to school was an exciting one! We went on a fantastic trip to the Stardome to finish of our planet inquiry. The students had a great time asking John all types of questions about space. We found out that our research about Jupiter is now wrong as they found another 12 moons and that a new lake had been discovered on Mars. It was a great day and we all learnt heaps of new facts.

Also this week we have been practicing our folding and cutting skills by creating origami. We hope to share our new skills with our buddy classes and teach them how to make their own origami.

Collaborative game: Empathy

This week we have been looking at empathy and putting ourselves in someone's else shoes. How would they feel? We started with a collaborative game. The game's aim was to get across the court without touching the concrete. There was a lot of problem solving, reflecting and we practised a lot of empathy! We made a lot of mistakes but we will try again.
