LITERACY

We have been working on including dialogue in our writing that has a purpose.

Students have been practicing cutting out the boring small talk and writing lines that:

• moves the plot forward 
• reveals something about a character 
• makes the scene more dynamic 

They especially liked the 'what do you meme' activity where they had to caption the memes and write what the characters could have been saying. 

MATHS

This week we have been working on fractions. We have focused on visualising, representing, comparing and placing fractions on a number line. The students have enjoyed playing games and working in small groups. 

Inter-school Sports 

Two weeks ago we had our lightening premiership for inter-school sports. The students enjoyed the day of netball and soccer. Well done to the mixed netball team who came second! 

Courage to Care Incursion 

Last week we had a company come out to talk to the students about how harmful stereotypes, racism and discrimination is. 

The children engaged in some activities and listed to a holocaust survivor share his story about how courageous people saved his life in the 1940's.
