What’s been happening in 3/4C!

"Creating a Setting in an Imaginative Text Using Our Five Senses" As a part of 3/4Cs work on Imaginative Texts this week we used our five senses to create a setting for our stories. Students were able to create vivid settings to include into their Imaginative Texts.

"Architect City" This week we were studying Measurement and Geometry, specifically 'Length' using millimetres, centimetres and metres and converting between them. On Friday afternoon as a part of a Visual Arts lesson we constructed Architect Cities.

Litterarty Competition Students from Year 3, 4 and 5 have been working hard on designing and creating artworks for the "Litterarty" competition. It is designed to promote concepts about closed loop recycling, litter and rubbish impacts on the oceans and creative and thoughtful ways to make better everyday decisions by turning trash to treasure. Special thanks to Mrs. Lorna Parry for helping to organise such a wonderful initiative!

Ethics classes at Paddington Public School

Dear Parents and Carers, Could you be an ethics coordinator or teacher for Paddington Public School? We require volunteers to enable the ethics classes to accommodate all families who would like this option in 2020 and ensure long term viability of the program. The ethics coordinator communicates with school staff for classroom arrangements, organises the training and background checks for the teachers, and liaises with Primary Ethics, the not-for-profit organisation approved to design curriculum and training for the program. This role provides a great opportunity for a working parent who might be unable to volunteer during school hours. The time is flexible, requiring approximately 1 hour per week predominantly online.

Ethics Teachers attend a two day training workshop and complete online learning modules and background checks. Curriculum and teaching resources are provided. Suitable volunteers must be available to take their class each week.

Ethics classes are an opportunity for children to develop skills in collaborative inquiry, logical reasoning, critical thinking, respectful disagreement, listening and self-expression. Children discuss topic such as:

-imagining how others feel -how do we treat living things? -what is homelessness? -how do we disagree in a respectful way? -fairness

If you are looking for an opportunity to make a valuable contribution to our school, please visit www.primaryethics.com.au or contact the Volunteering Manager, Maria McCarthy at maria.mccarthy@primaryethics.com.au or 0410 348 574.
