Term 3, Week 2


Welcome to Week 3 everyone!

Just like that, we are back. Was great to hear the stories of the students that were lucky enough to head up north during the break! It is also wonderful to hear the weekend sport stories!! Glad that all the weekend sport is back!!

Cross Country:
Is on this Thursday 30th July at Bunbury Grammar. Please check Mrs Sinclair's note for details on departure times and any items needed.

Our Learning:
Literacy:
In writing, we have been learning about the structure needed to make a really good persuasive text. We are likening our texts to a really good hamburger...the students engaged with this really well and this imagery helps them to understand that their reader doesn't want to be disappointed with their order!

Our reading group activities are also focused on reading good examples of persuasive texts in a variety of forms.


Numeracy:
Our maths lessons this week have been focused on time, looking at the parts of the clock (face, minute and hour hand) as well how to tell the time and represent time by drawing hands on a clock.

Friendology:
Friendology lessons this week we have also been talking about developing a growth mindset around our strengths and weaknesses personally and in our learning. We have also been looking at words of empowerment that we can use as a reminder that we are awesome when we need a little pick me up or feel a little bogged down with the challenges of life or our learning!

Week 9 - Home Learning Information/Support

Image
Welcome to week 9. The first thing that I would like to say is a massive thank you to everyone for all the support that I have received in the last couple of weeks. It has been a very trying time and its important to show care and stay safe. It’s been wonderful to have Team meetings with those at home and to see the great work they have been doing.   This Blog will have information regarding Online Learning. It will explain how I want Teams and OneNote to work as well as how to access the videos I have created. There will also be a Do’s and Don’ts section at the end of this Blog. Teams: After one week of using Teams as an Online Learning tool, I have made some adjustments into how I would like Teams to be used. Firstly, I don’t want to see any work submitted on Teams, I would like all work to be submitted on OneNote. My current vision is for Teams to be used for 3 things. The first is to be a place to access the work that is required. This can be done through t...
