Book Week: One of the highlights of the week was 'Book Week.' The children embraced to chance to dress up in their favourite costume.   

Library: As part of Book Week the students visited the Cobram Library. Jess read several books from the CBCA book of the year awards shortlist. Then the children completed a fun craft activity based on the book 'Stellarphant.'

Spelling Bee: Buddy, Talia, Billy and Orianna were selected to participate in Cobram Primary School's first Spelling Bee. Congratulations to Billy for becoming the year level champion.

Reading: The Foundation students have been learning about noticing the author's craft. They have learnt about dialogue, repetition, illustrations, italics, bolded words and illustrations.

Writing: Each student has chosen somebody they would like to write a letter to. They drafted their letter making sure they included 3 sentences, edited it by adding some questions and revised their letter to include the correct punctuation.  

Maths: The children have been using MAB blocks to show different numbers up to 100. 

Information Technology: Using the program 'Scratch Jnr" the students have had the chance to learn about computer programming. They were able to create and design a character and make the character move on the screen using commands.

Grade 56’s have been critiquing all the shortlisted picture books as part of Book Week. We read the book ‘Just One Bee' by Margrete Lamond & Anthony Bertini and as part of our Maths Transformation Unit the students were following directions and transforming pieces of paper into Origami Bees and Flowers. Super persistence and perseverance were needed however the students thoroughly enjoyed their end products.

Where's Wally?

The 56 students joined with their Foundation buddies to complete the book week "Where's Wally?" search. There was lots of excitement as they searched the school for the hidden pictures.
