Double Disposition Day - Whole School Event Day
We are the Year 6 Leadership Team and we have an upcoming house event on the 14th of November on a Tuesday.
It is based around the learner dispositions which are Reflection, Collaboration, Creativity and Determination.
The house event will be held after recess and it will end before lunch. However the year 3’s will have their 4 different activities in the morning because of Specialist classes.
Each year level will be split into their house groups to do their four assigned disposition based activities which will go on for 20 minutes each. This time the leaders will be handing out double points so that everyone has a chance to win the house cup which will be announced soon.
We would like everyone to attend the day wearing their house colours and house spirit as it is the last house event for this year!
We look forward to seeing you all in your house colours.
Thank you,
Year 6 Leadership Team
Reminder - Remembrance Day - Year 5's
Hello Alphington Primary School parents and (care people) ,
From 31 of October- 10 November the Year 5s will be selling a range of items for Remembrance Day, like pens, pins, bag keychains and bracelets. The prices range between $1- $10. We will be coming around the classrooms starting at 1:20 and going through all the classes. If your child wishes to buy anything they will need to bring in money. The money is raised for the ANZAC Appeal.
Kind Regards
The Grade 5s
Year 6 News
Students in Grade 6 have been delving deep into poetry for the last few weeks, specifically Limericks and Ballads. For one task we chose a well-known fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, and brainstormed a narrative sequence. Then working with a partner, or in a small group, students created one stanza from the sequence, written in the style of a ballad. At the end of the session, we created our ballad by joining all the stanzas together. A few students then took it to the next level by creating a musical score, using GarageBand, recoding their vocal part on top! So here it is, ‘The Ballad of Little Red Riding Hood.’ Warning: There is a grizzly ending!
The Ballad of Little Red Riding Hood
Bass and Mahir
“Hey, Little Red Riding Hood,
Make sure your grandma’s fed”
She really wanted to be good
Off she went with her hood of red
Refrain:
Remember, keep to the path my dear
The wood’s a dangerous place
Don’t stray, stay calm and hurry dear
Arrive safe with God’s good grace
Jon and Hayden
She opened up her basket to pack
Filling it with brownies and bread
Then topped it up with apples and jam
When she was ready she just fled
Refrain:
Remember, keep to the path my dear
The wood’s a dangerous place
Don’t stray, stay calm and hurry dear
Arrive safe with God’s good grace
Mali and Frankie 😎
A long winding path ahead
Ferns, flowers and trees
With only a light pack to hold
She carried on with ease
Refrain:
Remember, keep to the path my dear
The wood’s a dangerous place
Don’t stray, stay calm and hurry dear
Arrive safe with God’s good grace
Coco and Milla 📝
She saw a shadowy figure
Emerge from behind a large apple tree
It was a wolf, who barred her way
Then he left her side, giggling with glee
Refrain:
Remember, keep to the path my dear
The wood’s a dangerous place
Don’t stray, stay calm and hurry dear
Arrive safe with God’s good grace
Lana, Kaylan and Mariana
Little Red Riding Hood
She stepped right inside
“Hi grandma,” she said
Beaming and bubbling with pride
Refrain:
Remember, keep to the path my dear
The wood’s a dangerous place
Don’t stray, stay calm and hurry dear
Arrive safe with God’s good grace
Cece, Lucinda, Arub and Ruby
Little red screamed
The wolf picked her up
It was part of his scheme
He swallowed Grandma. Yuk!
Refrain:
Remember, keep to the path my dear
The wood’s a dangerous place
Don’t stray, stay calm and hurry dear
Arrive safe with God’s good grace
Olivia, Annabel and Millicent
As she hid away she felt relief
A man overheard the screaming
He ran inside and relieved her grief
With a whoosh, blood sprayed on the ceiling
Refrain:
Remember, keep to the path my dear
The wood’s a dangerous place
Don’t stray, stay calm and hurry dear
Arrive safe with God’s good grace
