Teaching and Learning

Big Write and VCOP Talk Homework

Our next Cold Write will be held in Week 6. The topic for the Cold Write will be revealed to the students on the day of the task. A Cold Write is an opportunity for the students to showcase their writing ability with minimal to no help.

Beginning of Year Assessments

The teachers and ESOs have been working with students to complete beginning of year assessments on the students current abilities. These assessments provide valuable information about where the students are and enables us to create a more targeted learning program, inform teaching practices and set individual and whole school goals. It is also used to identify students that will have a program with an ESO or attend individual/small group sessions with Mrs Jamieson.

Staff have begun meeting together to analyse the data and determine areas of need and extension across classes and the school.

All classes have now participated in their first Inform and Empower digital safety session. Inform and Empower provide virtual incursions once a term to teach the students about a variety of digital safety skills. They have three tailored programs Ollie Online for F-2, Adventures Online for 3-4, and Thrive Online for 5-6. This year’s scope and sequence is as follows:
