This term 3G have been very busy, we have been practising NAPLAN (Literacy and Numeracy skills). We have been reading lots of books about differences, emotions and why it is important to accept our differences and be nice and caring towards everyone! This week we have been reading Elmer - they designed their own Elmer's (which were all different and amazing)! They worked with another student, who they usually wouldn't work with. They discussed their similarities and differences and worked together as a team to write their stories! It was a proud teacher moment to see them work together and help each other write their stories! What an amazing bunch of students!
Throughout the term 3/4T have been reading Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. We have enjoyed creating artwork inspired by Harry Potter and have had the pleasure to display our work in the office foyer. We viewed a picture that was found on the internet and discussed the colours and shades the artist used to create mood and meaning. Using this knowledge the students then recreated the picture and the results were wonderful.
Also in 4R we have had a great time studying Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Students have been reading along each day and creating writing pieces based off of the book. Students have also created these fantastic silhouettes of the Hogwarts castle.
3F have made a fantastic start to their primary schooling career in term 1 2017 showing the potential these students possess for the remainder of the year. 3F have been working extremely hard across all KLA's consolidating information to then transform and produce into quality work. Students have been engaged in exciting and engaging interactive aspects of literacy and numeracy which looks to continue as the year progresses. I am very proud of the effort and work these students are producing.
