Students have been studying the book “The Boy At The Back of The Class” - today we opened up a pomegranate after reading! Ss have been told to ask for permission from parents and carers when home before consuming - I hope that they have shared some with you and your family!

Author talk: Tristan Bancks! @tristanbancks Tristan shared his inspirations, thought processes and routines followed to create his children and teen books! Well done Tristan for being shortlisted for the Young Adult Indie Award in 2023 for Cop & Robber!

Today S3 students worked on creating a storyboard based on a short film, Piper. Piper follows the life of a little seagull who overcomes a challenge with the help of a friend!

Part of our literacy focus was vocabulary! Really enjoyed teaching this unit about natural disasters.. so many great books available that helps us understand the impact of these catastrophic events (and also what we can do to minimise it!)

Our Book In A Jar project is kicking off!

So impressed with 5/6 Numbats during our art lesson! We learnt about Chinese Watercolour Painting. The focus was on pigments and how artists use the rhythmic movement of lines to give form, harmony and unity of style.

Writing about animals is my favourite thing to do with young learners! We get to focus on noun groups, vocabulary and editing on top of our goals. 🏅

Students visiting the amazing art mural today - we shared what we noticed about the painting and how it is relevant to our school and had the opportunity to ask some questions to the artist who created the magnificent mural! Can’t wait to see it when it’s complete 😁✨🎨

After our amazing excursion at Western Parklands Lizard Log, 1D wrote about our experience! We borrowed phrases and tricky words, said our sentences to our partners, wrote our ideas and then shared it with the rest of the class. 😍

1D worked on writing sentences to describe the appearance of a wombat. Students completed think-pair-share before writing their ideas 🌟 @CanleyValePS
