Class Update

All 3 grades are half way through their book clubs. I am very proud of how engaged they are and how much they are enjoying their books. In addition to the lost art of reading a book they are doing, students are also summarising and answering comprehension questions.

Each student has a duotang they are working out of and the gr 6's are working with a combo of paper and tech to complete their weekly work assignments.

Gr 4' are reading - Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing and the One and Only Ivan.

Gr 5's are reading - The One and Only Ivan, 39 Clues The Maze of Bones, and The Unteachables.

Gr 6's are reading - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, The Giver, Gathering Blue,
                    Coraline, The One and Only Ivan, 39 Clues, Losing Joe's Place, and What's His Face.


The morning class is also putting in practice for the Christmas concert and have been coding with their kindergarten buddy class. They learned how to code (thank you Finn) their own video games using Scratch and then brainstormed with their kinder buddy to design a game based on their younger friend's ideas. Trust me, the kinders had some pretty far out and cool ideas to turn into a video game!

The afternoon class is getting special visits from Mr Spindler as he prepares them for the Christmas concert.

Religion continues with Mrs O'Neill as she prepares them for Advent. Morning parents, look for an email from the school on Thursday about a change in the schedule.

Our last math strand is wrapping up for term 1 in the next week and that gives us more time to prepare for the Christmas concert. It also gives us the opportunity to explore coding and spend time working outside the box on fun ideas.
