Assembly Awards
Congratulations to recent award winners. Some students have received class awards, some have 'levelled up' in Lexia or Mathletics. All are a reflection of the dedication and hard work the students have shown in their learning.

Miss Forbes, Mrs Rogers and Mrs Hodgson have all been working collaboratively to teach explicit lessons in literacy and numeracy. Through having clear learning intentions and indicators of how to be successful in those skills (Success Criteria), students are able to know exactly what to is expected of them and how to go about it. The Gradual Release of Responsibilty model ensures that students receive explicit modelling by teachers of how to do tasks, but then the teacher works with the group or individuals if required, to complete tasks together before students attempt them independently when they feel confident. The results speak for themselves when you can witness not only the improved literacy and numeracy achievements of students, but more importantly, their increased confidence and enjoyment in their learning.

The primary class have been developing their knowledge of fractions and comparing their size using a blank number line. They have also been learning to use a problem-solving strategy called CUBES, which is a series of repetitive, reliable steps that can help break down word problems into manageable parts, making it easier to find accurate solutions.
In literacy, students have been developing their understanding of how authors use specific vocabulary and language choices to affect the mood of a story or to build characters. E.B. White's classic novel 'Charlotte's Web' has proven an engaging and entertaining example to examine these ideas further.
The class even had a go at writing their own story using the same characters. However, instead of setting it on the farm where the actual story takes place, the students set it in a large city where Wilbur could be a different type of animal, not a pig. The class discussed how their vocabulary choices would change and how the setting would affect the events in the story.
