5/6 Genius Success

5/6 Genius Success

The 5/6 students have produced magnificent work about our topic this term, Sustainability. All of the 5/6 classes have been creating ‘Genius Hour’ projects where they can research, experiment, present and teach others about something they wanted to learn about. They could work in groups or independently.

Genius Hour sessions are full of questions, ideas, occasional road blocks and problem solving.

Beatriz Panlilio has kindly agreed to share her presentation that she made about ‘Climate Change’.

Well done to all 5/6s!

A Great Beginning to Literacy and Numeracy Week

A Great Beginning to Literacy and Numeracy Week

We had fun today for Literacy and Numeracy week when we went to all of the 1/2 classrooms. In Mrs Campbell’s class we did measuring, in Miss McGing’s class we played ‘Location Location’ and used a grid and we did some mapping, in Mrs Capron’s we played a number game and with Miss Ryan we made play dough fractions. We had a great time doing the activities because we got to do lots of maths.

Yesterday we did a level book swap where we shared our favourite books from home and we also did a whole school number activity.

Student Voice Heard for our New Playground

Student Voice Heard for our New Playground

playground

The 1/2s have been busy giving Mr Mutimer some ideas for the new playground by making models. We really liked making our playgrounds and being innovative. Being innovative means creating and making stuff in our minds and improving things.

When we spoke to Mr Mutimer he said, “There are some great ideas, but we can’t do them all.”

We tried our best and we didn’t give up when we had problems.
