English

This week, we will be starting our new Core Knowledge Unit; The Renaissance - a time of great change and creativity in art, science, and thinking. They will be investigating key figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, and discover how Renaissance ideas still influence our world today.

In Writing, students will continue to develop their skills in:

-using co-ordinating and subordinating conjunctions.

-contrasting connectives.

-single paragraph outlines. 

Mathematics

Students are continuing to improve their number fluency skills by practicing for 4 minutes at the beginning of every lesson.

Over the next two weeks, we will be learning about:

-Designing and drawing nets for 3D shapes. 

-Writing thousandths in decimal format.

-Placing thousandths in decimal format on a number line (numbers less than one, then numbers greater than 1).

Inquiry

Students are working hard to prepare for our Celebration of Learning at the end of the term. They have spent time researching, and our now synthesising the information to create their masterpieces. We are looking forward to sharing them with you all!

SWPBS Dojo Points

At Barwon Heads Primary School, we value the importance of positive feedback in supporting student growth and wellbeing. Our Dojo Points system celebrates students who consistently demonstrate our core values. of Respect, Responsibility, and Being Your Best. Students work towards earning 200 Dojo Points, which they can redeem for a special reward—either a movie session or a delicious donut! They can choose to 'cash in' their dojo points when they get to 50, 100, or 150 points, for a different reward. This system helps motivate and encourage positive behaviour while reinforcing the strong, supportive culture of our school community.
