‘The Superhero in You’ 

The Year 3 students loved our recent MiniBOSS SUPERHERO DAY! 

In this energising incursion the students showcased their skills, strengths, and everyday SUPERPOWERS! The Superhero incursion sparks a dynamic learning atmosphere, promoting personal and social awareness. 

The first part of the day is all about students learning about the everyday superpower (strengths) they have within and how to positively use them in the classroom. 

The program ends with students creating Superhero stories in teams and wearing their own Superhero shield that they make! 

Superhero in You! 

First, the two men introduced themselves, their names were Dani and Flynn. After that, we played a game of ‘Guess That Hero’. 

Secondly, we got into groups of five. We had to think of a name and action for our group and then we had to perform it.  

My group was called…The Headless Chicken!!! 

Thirdly, we had to think of a time we helped someone / something and then draw it on a diamond piece of paper to make a shield.  

After that we went to Dani or Flynn to get it taped tour wrist. 

Lastly, we got two words and wrote a story in our group using those words. My two words were ‘bubble gum’ and ‘forest’. Everyone in the group had to help write a sentence for the story. 

After lunch we performed a skit using the story. 

The ‘Superhero in You’ incursion was SO fun, thrilling and exciting! 

I really hope we get to do it again 😊!!!

'The Superhero In You'

On Friday 19th July we all went into 3C for a Superhero incursion. We sat down on the floor, and we met Flinn and Dan - they call themselves Flying Flinn and Dino Nugget. Then we got started… the first thing we did was GUESS THE SUPERHERO? The rules are a student comes up to the front to sit down on a chair facing the audience. They can’t look at the Superhero on the screen behind them, then the other students describe their personalities. The first one was Batman and Luca from 3C came up the front to try and guess the Superhero. He was very good at it, and he got it right away. The last one was Olivia C (me) from 3A sitting up there. The students gave all these nice compliments like the Superhero is kind, helpful and thoughtful and I couldn’t guess the Superhero. I had no idea! Dino Nugget told all the kids to shout out “IT’ S YOU!!!” I was very surprised and soooooo happy! 

Next, we played some more fun games. One we had to sit in rows, and we couldn’t speak at all. The person at the back of each row had to draw something on the persons back in front of them. The person at the front of the row had to guess what it was and then draw it on a piece of paper. 

It was funny seeing what different people’s drawings looked like! 

We also made paper shields to wear on our wrists. We had to draw a picture of you helping someone - just like a Superhero! Flying Flinn and Dino Nugget stuck them together for us. 

It was such an AWESOME day!!

‘The Superhero in You' 

On Friday the 19th of July we had a Superhero incursion. Dino Dan and Flying Flynn came to talk to us about ‘The Superhero in You!’ 

First, we played a game called Guess the Superhero? Luca, Arabella and Olivia C were chosen. 

Next, we went to our tables and made up a name for our group. We also made up a dance. 

We made Superhero shields and put them on our wrists. Then we played a game where Flying Flynn showed us a shape and we had to draw it on our teammate’s backs.  

We also played a game where we had to copy moves that Dino Dan showed us.  

Next, we wrote our Superhero story and acted it out.  

Finally, the 3:30pm bell went… 

What an AMAZING day!!

Shape Poem 

Students have enjoyed learning about animals in our current unit of inquiry - Sharing the planet.  They have shown great interest in learning about what animals require to ensure their survival over time.  

In literacy we are exploring different types of poems and last week we learnt about Shape poems.  A shape poem is about an object, person or animal.  The special thing about a shape poem is that the words of the poem take the shape of the object, person or animal being described.  Shape poems don’t have to rhyme and often use alliteration or similes.
