Kodu

I was watching a BBC program called ‘Click’ on the weekend where it featured a great new program called Kodu. Kodu opens up the world of programming to kids. It’s a game creation tool that is very user friendly. The great thing about it, is it’s free to download and use on your PC. I encourage all of you to download it via the link below and have a go.

Kodu: Download

We will be using Kodu as part of a series of Design and Technology lessons in the future. We will keep you posted on how we go.

The Postcard Project

Our class this year is taking part in an international project called ‘The Postcard Project‘. It is organised by the wonderful people from ‘Pirates of Room 4‘. Please go to their blog if you want to be involved. The whole idea of the project is to make connections with people from around the world and learn a little bit about the places you receive postcards from.

We have been lucky enough to receive four postcards already. We would like to thank these classes for their postcards. We really appreciate your efforts. We have even shared your postcards with our whole school at a recent school assembly.

Australian Classical Youth Ballet


Recently we went to the PAC (Performing Arts Centre) on Campus to see the Australian Classical Youth Ballet. They peformed the Wizard Of Oz. The characters were Dorothy, Toto, Tinman, Scarecrow and the Lion. Emma in Miss Black’s class was in it. We were going to go on a bus to see them perform, but  they came to us.

I liked the part when the wicked witch trapped Dorothy and Toto in the cage with the timer, because the guards did a really cool dance. My favourite part was when the Lion, Dorothy, Toto and all the other people fell asleep. The music was awesome and the Lion was really funny when he fell off the stage to fall asleep.

We liked the Australian Classical Youth Ballet, because they did some really cool dancing.

Class Mass and Assembly

Our class Mass is this Thursday at 9:15am. We will also be hosting Assembly in the following week (Week 5 Friday 4th June).

Fun ‘n’ Games Club

In school I created a fun ‘n’ games club for the class. The first event has just begun and it is called the world race. It is a series of games like, the big bridge, monkeys on bars, world fun and many other fun games. On Wednesday it was the first qualifying round (week one term two) and on Thursday it is the final qualifying round. Lots of people are really proud of their scores. In term one I created our first club magazine with all the information of all the clubs in our class. The magazine was a great success and I still have to make at least five more issues for the club. I also have a made books for the club members to order. This is also a cool thing to do, because you can spend time with all your friends!

Please join the club at the middle oval playground! Training is at recess and games are at lunch. 😀

The Gizmo Book series by Paul Jennings

We have been reading the ‘Gizmo’ series of books written by Paul Jennings.

The Gizmo stories are very funny, because in one of the ‘Gizmo’ books there is a boy that shrinks with every beep of the gizmo, and in another story a boy that turns into water when the gizmo beeps.

By Jack

Our class loved these books and you will too.

Parent / Student / Teacher Interviews

Thank you to everyone who attended the recent parent / student / teacher interviews. They are a great opportunity to share the student’s work and achievements thus far and to set learning goals for the future. I hope you found them informative and a chance for you to see in more detail the hard work your child has been putting into their learning so far.
