Week 3

Another very busy week passes us by!  We have completed our personification artwork which has brightened up our room.  Room 2 has been learning to play volleyball and all of us can serve and some of us are even spiking the ball!  It certainly pays to watch what the other team are doing!

Writing of sport, we will be organising a 'Teachers versus Year 6 Netball A Grade' game in week 7! The game will be played during a lunchtime and I think the teachers may need to have a practice!

We have settled into classroom routines really well.  For narrative writing and our mini inquiry units during literacy time, we are learning how to give constructive feedback on our peers work.  We are learning how to edit our work so when we write more we will know how to give our writing impact. We have learnt how to use adjectives, interjections (action sounds) and punctuation effectively and how it can change simple sentences to something really powerful!  We need to remember to proof read our work to make sure our writing makes sense.

On Friday we even had the opportunity to make butter.  Some of us drank the buttermilk and then we spread the butter onto bread and ate it!

Well done to Leah who received Student of the Week for consistently displaying good work habits and always trying her best.  Leah has a real 'can do' attitude!

The Super Kids could have gone to a number of sensational students this week but they went to Thomas for awesome stage work in numeracy (maths), 100% at Stage 4 and 98% at Stage 5 in number knowledge.  Walter received a certificate for being a positive role model in class and fantastic progress in all learning areas.

Next week will be another busy week as we begin our Olympic games!  the opening ceremony will be Tuesday afternoon.  The closing ceremony will be next Tuesday.  Time to be advised.  Do pop down and support the kids and if you see me, make sure you say 'hi' to me!  I'll be the lady with the green wig wearing  a cork hat standing with the winning team - "Ozzi, Ozzi, Ozzi ... OI, OI, OI!"

Have a lovely weekend!
