With NAPLAN testing over, we are back to normal, as such!
Homework grids and revised spelling lists went home on Monday. The choir went to North Blackburn shops to sing yesterday. Today our classroom was open for Numeracy. We utilised the Level 3 iPads, made arrays with ourselves, played a Michael Ymer game then completed multiplication arrays using dice.
Reading groups are back on! One group enjoyed some Popcorn after reading about it. Another group performed a play.
After lunch we went to visit our damaged Chicken Coop and are writing about it. Last session was Mandarin. I used the time to change the passwords for the Premiers' Reading Challenge! The children will record these in their Diaries tomorrow.
Open Night is tomorrow 6pm - 8pm. Check out the Book Fair in the Library. We had a Book Look today.
We are enjoying our Unit on Indigenous People. We visited www.abc.net.au/dustechoes/
Gill went along and watched the Choir and showed me some of it on her iPhone. It looked like it went really well with all the children really giving it laldy. What a good idea too.
ReplyDeleteI'll ask Freya what happened to the chicken coop. I hope it isn't still being targeted by people coming in after hours. I knew someone from Collingwood College and when they started their chook program the teachers kept a few chickens at home in reserve and would bring them in when needed - Quite a commitment.
Unfortunately we wont be able to make Open Night. I hope it goes well.
I will try to get some time to watch one of these stories on the website with Freya.
