A very small selection of the photos I took on 4-6 Sports Day last week. Enjoy :)

Dreamtime Stop-Motion

Well we finished our projects! It was such a fun, hands on way to learn about Dreamtime stories, as well as learn new skills in design and technology. 

The class viewed the finished stories using 'Reflector' software on the laptop to mirror the iPad. 

This is one of the finished products (Josie, Alyssa, Jaylen and Rhys). My apologies for the standard of the video but we had trouble sharing from our school iPads, so this is a recording of it playing on an iPad.

We are so proud of you Emmy! Nine year old age champion runner-up!

We are amazing! Just saying...

Gold awards for perfect behaviour all term! 

Reflecting

At this time of term, with reports just around the corner I think it's important to remind students to reflect. Today we talked about how some people are good at writing, some people are good at sports, some people are good at building etc. Everyone is good at something! Cue our Twitter topic:

Here's to celebrating the 'whole' child. 

Our Stop Motion projects are coming together. We can't wait to see the final products!

 

 

Literacy rotations

 

'Pass the Bomb' is definitely our new favourite way to practise spelling! Students need to come up with words that contain certain letters - all the while passing a ticking 'bomb'!

 

 

Some students had fun today recognising sight words and putting them into sentences. 

 

Week 11

Tweeting

Loved this activity to kick off our Monday morning!
