Sewing Groups

Over the last few weeks we have had small groups of parents doing sewing with our parent volunteers.

Each person had a fully self contained sewing kit to create an animal. We’ve made bears, frogs, birds, monkey faces and rabbits. A HUGE thank you to our parent helpers – especially for their patience!!

Here’s our finished creations.

A Question for our Parents and Families

The 2012 London Olympic Games began in London on Friday the 27th of July.

 

We have been watching the Olympic Games with great interest. It’s been very exciting to see how the Australian athletes are performing at the Games. Each morning we’ve been checking the leader board to how Australia is going with their results.

Some of our students are also interested in watching other countries athletes. We have  5 students from England, 1 who has family in New Zealand, 1 who has family from Ireland.

We would like to ask the families of our class to post some comments about the Olympic Games.

Here are some questions we have:

  • Do you have a favourite sport or sports at the Olympic Games?
  • Do you have a favourite athlete at the Games?
  • Do you know any fun or interesting facts about the Olympic Games – please share your stories with us!
  • Have you ever been to an Olympic Games (especially in Australia in 2000)?

We’d love to hear from some families in the United Kingdom – they may have some great information to tell us as that’s where the games are being held.

You might also have some questions for us that we could find the answers for.

 

We look forward to your replies!

Student Led Conferences

This week we began our student led conferences. This is a special time when we share our learning with the families in our class. Each student has prepared a recording sheet that reflects their learning using the You Can Do It – Program Achieve titles of:

  • Confidence
  • Persistence
  • Getting Along and
  • Organisation.
We used our books to show examples of our learning in these areas. We needed to choose our work samples very  carefully to make sure they match what we’ve been talking about.
The children have had to be very brave and work hard to complete this task. It is a big task to run a meeting with parents and teachers there and talk about your learning, achievements and set goals for the future.
So far the students who have presented have done an amazing job – congratualtions!!!
We’re sure the rest of the student led conferences will go really well too.
Here are some photos of us planning our work to share.
