Week 9

The year 4/5/6 overnight camp was a great success. The children really enjoyed being able to set themselves up in a tent and to organise themselves so they are ready to camp out. They loved the rotation activities we had organised for them and enjoyed fish and chips and fresh fruit and bickies for supper. Enjoy some of these pictures from camp.

Week 8

This week has been a week of support. The children decided to show their support for the Muslim community and the emergency services. They thought that the ambulance and police officers were amazing. These amazing hearts are going to them this week and we hope they enjoy receiving them in the mail.

We have also been working on our sketching, shading, and drawing skills by completing our own self portraits. The children showed great perseverance and listening skills. Come in and have a look at their awesome creations on display in Room 1A.

This week we have also been having Digital Curriculum Professional development sessions in the hall. The children really enjoyed learning about the vocabulary of robots and systems and enjoyed creating their own coding to make a robot go.

On Wednesday the 13th March we had some fantastic children go to the PALS (Physical Activity Leaders) training course at the EA Network Centre.
The PALs programme is a leadership opportunity for students to develop their skills and experience in a sport and physical activity context
Objectives of the PALs Workshops are:
- Build PALs capability in leading sport and physical activity experiences
- Provide PALs with games and ideas to support their school programme- Provide practical experience on 'how to' organise, manage and adapt games and activities.

We have also been working on publishing work and making sure it is quality but also done on time. We have got our fantastic Sky diving descriptions published and on display in class. Look at these expressions in the parachuters, aren't they cool!

Term 1
Week 5 and 6

I week 5 we have been focusing on adding detail to our sentences by adding in verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and a setting. The children have got really confident at seeing their simple sentence and moving towards developing compound and complex sentences. Have have seen all children use these details in their writing independently.

Week 6 = SWIM WEEK and sky dive writing. We have had such a busy week with swim week and also writing recounts on Miss Hannah's sky dive. The children went through the recount structure and discussed their details in their sentences especially their introduction which we have been practising to hook the readers in. Here are some pictures of the children posing for their sky dive publishing presentation, come in and have a look at them.

This week Room 1A have been setting up Google Drive as a way to file and share their work with the rest of the class that they have typed up on their devices. We have already got some work up on our classroom wall, please feel free to come in and have a look at their published writing.
We have also started writing letters to Mr Wheeler for those selected to become school leaders. These are chosen based on the PRDIE values that they show and how they interact with the children and staff in our school.
Here are the fantastic students in Room 1A for Term 1 2019!
