Genius Time

Team 15 have been working super hard on their passion projects this term. The process can get VERY messy and chaotic as each of us takes our learning in a different direction.

Mrs Turner is super-proud of how mature everyone is. She is also very thankful the wonderful parent help she gets on a Thursday afternoon. 

Watch this space for our finished creations, but for now, enjoy this short picture video of what we've been up to....

Reading Skills

All year we work on different skills for Reading. The last few weeks in Team 15 have been focused around using the punctuation to help us read with expression and flow. (We have been using punctuation in our Writing too so that it makes sense when other people read it!)

Here is a video of Zach and Simeng learning to use punctuation when reading aloud.

Zach was brave and went first. When he read the first time, he forgot to use the punctuation so we gave him some feedback - did you hear the difference when he tried it the second time? He was AMAZING!

Simeng is second in the video. This was her second attempt too. The rest of the kids are giving her feedback on how she used the punctuation. Great Team-work Team 15!

How do YOU think they went?

Leave us some constructive feedback in the comments.

Swimming

Here are some pics from Swimming today. 

Mrs Turner is very proud of the way Team 15 shined with their manners and their self belief. We have some very good swimmers in our class, and EVERYONE tried their best!

Swimming is funded by the John Walker Foundation, Field of Dreams foundation.

Maths Talk

Today, the Squares Group were working on sharing their Maths strategies. 

They started by trying to work out the multiplication or division problem given to them with a buddy. Some of them used materials (fingers and beans) and some tried to do it in their mind (jedi powers). 

After that, they had to write down their strategy (the way they worked it out). The hardest part about the whole thing was using their words to describe in detail HOW they had come to that conclusion. The actual answer's were 'easy' (according to them).

Here are two videos of them sharing their strategy. 

Mrs Turner thinks they did pretty well considering this video app was new and it was strange sharing to a screen. 

Do you have any tips for us to improve? If you do please leave them in the comments below. (Remember to be nice - we are still learning!)
