A big congratulations to all students for being risk-takers, demonstrating confidence and enthusiasm during our School Concert. Our theme was ‘Around the world in 12 grades’ where each class presented a dance from a different culture. Here are some photos from our performances.
In reading we made wishing wells. Everyone had a partner except Tilly\me.
The easy part was making the pulley and the hard part was sticking the sticks on the tin. We did it because we were learning about simple machines. It was a great book. Hope you like it!
On Friday 3rd August we celebrated our Multicultural Day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day where students took part in activities from around the world, such as, Japanese origami, Australian boomerangs, Chinese calligraphy, Indian henna, Egyptian cartouches, games from the Philippines and Indonesian puppets. Following our activities we all celebrated by having a shared lunch with a variety of different foods from around the world. We would like to thank all parents for their contribution and presence on the day.
As part of our ‘How we Express Ourselves’ unit of inquiry we have had an incursion from The Flying Bookworm. We watched them act out three different stories and some of us were able to join in with the creativity. Students reflected on the actors ideas and how they can use dance and drama to express themselves.
We have demonstrated commitment in our Writing. We have planned, written, edited and published our stories and enthusiastically shared our writing with the Foundation students. Here are some photos from our reflection and sharing time.
We have been inquiring into homes around the world. We can describe the similarities and differences between homes around the world. We have enjoyed learning about different materials that homes are made of and have been creative to make a ‘wooden’ home. Here are some photos of our homes.
We have recently had ‘Open Day’ at Glenroy West Primary School.
We would like to thank all parents for coming to see the creativity that students demonstrate in Numeracy, Reading and Writing.
For our ‘Open Day’ this year, students demonstrated commitment, creativity, enthusiasm and cooperation to create a house using 3D shapes. Here are some photos of our creations!
Grade one and two students have been inquiring into different animal communities and how they are connected to their environments. We were extremely lucky to have an excursion to Werribee Zoo where we saw different animals that lived in the Savanna. We were fantastic explorers in the ‘Habitat Heroes’ class and excellent inquirers when looking at different environments that the animals live in. Here are some photos from our excursion.
We have been inquiring into procedural writing. We were very enthusiastic when making sandwiches, smiley face biscuits, play dough and jelly. We loved making different things as well as writing about them. At the end we were able to eat our sandwiches, smiley face biscuits and jelly.
