In the Classrooms

The last week of Term involves lots of time for students to finish off any work they need to get completed. Our main focus was on inquiry so students could present all the work they had done.

Our prep students have also been very busy learning their Golden Words. The words they know include; and, a, I, be, in, is, it, the, of. It is great watching the pride on their faces as they learn a new word! It would be great to continue practising these words over the holidays.   

Students have been presenting their inquiry projects this week. For every student who presented, two other students were picked to give feedback using our marking rubric. Students were able to give really constructive and truthful feedback to their peers in a respectful way. Presenters responded well to the feedback, often agreeing with the score they were given. We all learnt lots about the other countries from the wonderful presentations, everyone should be very proud of their efforts.

Emmy’s country was Japan so she wore a Japanese hat for her presentation and taught us several Japanese words! This is one example of the very informative presentations we seen from Grade 1’s to 6’s. Fabulous effort Emmy! 

Don’t forget to keep reading over the holidays! We are hoping everyone will be at 25 nights of home reading when we come back in Term 2 so we can have a class party!
