Secret Santa               Dear Parents / Caregivers, It is fun to do a Secret Santa with the children in these last few days of school. We will have a special gift giving ceremony on Thursday 13th December.   The children have already pulled names out of a hat, and know who they will be giving their presents to.  The class thought there should be a price cap on how much the presents cost, and decided that $10 was sufficient.

After planning and filming our product / event for Family Fun Night, today was the day to work our magic and use Adobe Premier Elements to create our advertisement. We're looking forward to sharing them as a class, and perhaps, with time permitting, we can share the best ones with our Year 6 syndicate.

Innovative Games Update

Today we started presenting our games to the class in preparation for Family Fun Night. Wow, the groups that presented today really set the bar high! It was fantastic to see all the children's hard work in planning their innovative games pay off. The class were completely engaged in the games and had an absolute blast playing them. It was also pleasing to observe the children take on different responsibilities in their groups and the leadership skills emerging when presenting to the class. The feedback session after the games played was very purposeful too. The class had loads of positive thoughts from the games and some fantastic ideas for possible improvements. We're really looking forward to playing the rest of the games. Check out these photos of us enjoying our learning!
