Year 1 Space Learning Day 

Our Year 1 students have been immersed in space themed texts as well as Virtual Reality experiences as part of their learning in English. To celebrate this learning, Year 1 students designed and created rockets at school and participated in space themed activities. Students then independently wrote a creative writing story that we shared with our families in an open classroom experience last Wednesday. It was a fun filled time for everyone involved!

Check out our school Facebook page for more photos of our Year 1 Space Learning Day.

Year 4 UPDATE

We have some wonderful students in Year 4 who would like to share a snapshot of their learning with our school community.

How We Learn

In English we have been learning about writing a persuasive text. We have learnt how to write the introduction, body paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and the conclusion. In English we are also learning about Geography. We have also been talking about cleaning up the environment and keeping other places clean. For example:  the beach, our playground, the city and much more. 

Advik
Growth Mindset 

In Year 4, we can earn mindfulness tokens. To get mindfulness tokens, we need to listen to the teacher or show positive behaviour in the classroom or in the school playground. What you do with them: you collect ten tokens to get a prize! This is showing the class how positive or good you are around the class, the school playground and places were we go.

Sport

Each week, we have been practising circuits that our classmates have created. They go for 2 to 3 minutes and have five skills.  

Hannah
Religion

For Religion we have been learning about God's creation and how He created humans and diffrent types of animal and plant species. I enjoy learning about all His wonderful creations.

Literacy Groups 

In literacy groups we have been using OzBox. In OzBox we read a card and write down questions and answers. Then we use typing.com and we learn how to type faster and where to use punctuation. We also have Atlas work where we learn cool facts about the earth floods, rivers and lots of animals. Another activity we have is Seesaw. Seesaw is an app where you can answer things and do activities e.g Naidoc week activities like puzzles, drawing and listening tasks. Last but not least, we have a partner reading activity. We read a book of choice, then we choose an activity to complete.

Ameiley
Mathematics Block

ln Year 4 we have been doing a lot of Maths. First we work through a question study. Then we play Splat. This is where there is a number and two red splats on some dots and a yellow splat on some other dots. We need to find the total amount. We also complete a rich task where there are lots of possible answer combinations. We then discuss them all together.

Ruby
English

In Year 4 we have been doing sentence a day. It is when we write a story that is on the board and it has errors and we have to fix them. We see if our answers are right by checking as a class. We also need to correct 3 sentences where there is one word wrong in each sentence (such as a spelling mistake or incorrect homophone). 

Lily
Dance

We are learning our Glasshouse dance. It is from Moana. I really enjoy the dance. I’m so excited to perform at the Glasshouse.

National Tree Day

National Tree Day was where we got to plant trees in our schools grounds. National Tree Day is the best because planting trees is the best thing to do and in my opinion, planting trees is like planting God's creation. Trees can get rid of carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide comes to the trees, they turn it into oxygen. Humans need oxygen to survive!

Thank you for reading about our learning.
