Student Voice

Year 2 : Schools - Then and Now Research. 

The students in Grade 2 Read Write Inc comprehension group read texts  about a student in the Victorian Era writing to a student in present time. Sparking fantastic discussions about the similarities and differences in each era . Students then researched both significant times in schools  and  made  posters .  Time was spent presenting their information to others. Varying  opinions about what time would you have chosen to go to school and why were presented.

*So good we decided to leave the following in for one more week.

Cultural Visit

1R had a cultural visit last week from Shakara who is our KESO (Koorie Educational Advisor).   The students were enthralled with the articefacts she brought along and learnt so much about Aboriginal culture.  The class learnt a new interactive acknowledgement of Country  and Shakara also made time for students to share something of their own culture.  Everyone had something to share and something to learn and demonstrated this using the message stick and passing it along!

Year 3 Poetry

In year 3 we have been learning how to use onomatopoeia and alliteration to create poems. Here's a selection of 3J’s fantastic firework poems...

Year 2 Persuasive Writing

2N have been practising their persuasive writing skills.  Watch the video to see them showcase their skils in a debate.  They make some excellent points. Not sure which I'd prefer as class pet!
