Classroom Chatter

From Hayley M & Rachael B

The 5 & 6's have started their year off with a smile on their faces! We have welcomed all of our new students with an explosion of Great Ryrie spirit. One of the first things that we did was find out something about ourselves by participating in the VIA Character strengths test! Some of the strengths are Wisdom, Courage, Humanity, Justice, Temperance and Transcendence. Following on the 5&6's are currently buzzing with excitement while waiting to find out our leadership roles!

This week the 56s in Math have been working on place value.  In place value we have played some cool games related to number. Grammar is another major subject that we have been focusing on. We have learnt about superlatives and comparatives and how they can help us in our writing. 

In Sport, we started off by concentrating on team building games and we have also welcomed Miss Beddome as our new sport teacher by treating her respectfully, responsibly and being a learner.

So far in Art, we have begun working on our self portraits by learning how to shade, hatch, cross hatch, blending and stipple. We are all so excited to see our finished results.

Finally all of the year 5 & 6's all looking forward to an amazing year ahead filled with tons of events, fundraisers and learning.
