Today our lesson focused on Australian storytelling. We read the book "Are We There Yet?' by Alison Lester while the students took turns to complete an activity on the SMART Board. The lesson was very fun and engaging for the students, they loved tracking the journey of the family on the map and discussing and debating over which image was most appropriate for it's location. I highly recommend the book for all households. It's wonderful for the students to read about familiar locations and experiences.

We took a screen shot of our finished SMART Board artwork to share on this site.

Well done to Alyssa and Maya on their fantastic interview with our Principal Mr Smith. Mr Smith commented that they were amazing reporters and very professional!  Five house points to the first person who can tell me who the famous politician is!

The girls produced a great poster which will be displayed around the classroom. Well done Alyssa and Maya!

Today as part of our 'Our School' lessons the students were divided into 3 groups to partake in a fun activity. There was much excitement as they deliberated between being reporters, photographers or artists!

While being fun for the students this lesson will improve their literacy skills as they are required to comment on and discuss and debate their results.

The students produced some great images and audio files which we will use to construct finished artworks to display around our classroom. Myself and our EA Mrs Robson were very impressed with the high level of care that the children displayed when using our digital cameras and note takers, wonderful work everyone! 

Welcome students, parents and friends to my blog.

I will endeavor to update this regularly with the exciting day to day life of our classroom. Stay tuned...
