Reading

Prep C and 6C have been spending time together working on reading.  The Prep children chose a book for a Year 6 buddy to read and the buddies were prompted with some questions to ask the Prep students before, during and after the reading.  It’s been an enjoyable few sessions of reading time with many more to come across the year.  A huge thank you to 6C for supporting our reading!

Year 6 Digital Systems

During technology this term, Year 6 students have explored digital systems and identified the main components of a digital system (a computer). Mr Butler bought up some old computers and the students pulled the computers apart. They documented their learning on an Ipad using book creator by taking photos, labelling the computer parts and talking about the function of the various computer parts.  See some examples of the students work.

“The brain is the most is the most important part of the computer without it the computer wouldn’t work.”

Moderation

Staff this week are commencing the moderation process where they compare judgements of students work. It involves close collaboration to establish shared understandings of the achievment standards for students. Teachers work together to make judgements that are consistent and comparable.

Twilight Planning

On Wednesday evening, staff worked collaborative in year level teams to plan for term 2. This is an important process in the teaching and learning cycle and is a valueable process in the development of effective programs to support student learning outcomes.
