The One and Only Ivan projects

Over the next four weeks, the students are working on 4 tasks they have chosen from a matrix of 48 possible choices for their literacy time.  The children are excited as these tasks offer a range of opportunities from various learning styles such as verbal, mathematical, musical, artistic, naturalistic, interpersonal and intra-personal. Here are some of the tasks they have been working on this week. 

 

You're invited- The grade 4 / 5 Assembly

Just letting you all know, our class will be hosting the assembly next week and we will be showcasing some of their class work. In addition to this, we will be sharing with you all some of the exciting extracurricular events that have been going on recently. 

 

More Incursions and Excursions

Again for this week, our class has had a lot of extracurricular activities.  

On Tuesday we had our first Rugby session with a coach from the Melbourne Storm Rugby team. The children learned a lot about discipline and copying the correct technique and even had a mini-game. 

 

Busy, Busy, Busy

This Wednesday we had Book Week dress-up parade, a Cyber Safety Workshop run by the Victorian Police as well as the soccer tournament in the afternoon.  What a busy but fun-filled day.  Everyone dressed to impress and handled the day really well as they changed into their house colors for a play soccer play-off.  Here are some of the highlights of the day.
