PLTDAILY FEED-Newspaper ReportStudent Madeline Reports that PLT’s are fun and an

awesome way to finish of the term. She says “I love how you get so much choice on what you can do and what you can study, I love PLT’s because they are more interesting than projects and are creative.” PLT’s have a good reward because you get to show people what you have achieved. Also students loved going on excursions to help them in their studies. In summary PLT’s are awesome and the teachers have given students lot’s of awesome subjects and idea’s.

LiteracyDear Class, I enjoyed Literacy this year especially the

contracts. I like how we can just go of and work and aim to finish a number of tasks. I also liked reading in the Literature Circles and have enjoyed all the books I have read. I have improved my literacy and reading skills.

Writing I loved this years writing. I think I work better with

inspiration which is what I got with all the video’s, pictures and sentences starters we have been given. I think the literacy shed and the 100 word challenge are both amazing. I enjoyed writing a narrative and letting my creative juices flow. I definitely have a larger vocabulary and use more descriptive language than I used to.

MusicAll the things I have loved in MusicMaking and Playing the drumsLearning lot’s of dancesDoing a play with certain criteriaChristmas CarolsI also thing it was good how we actually learnt a

bit of theory.

SportsThis year sports has been lot’s of fun. I

have really loved interschool sports and getting to be part of a team. I also like all the extra sports we have been doing like Milo Cricket, footy day, sports night, district sports, mini Olympics and PowerStation's. I have also enjoyed PE lessons and all the skills we have learnt are useful.

Technology DAILY FEED-Newspaper Report This year has been a major year of learning

technology wise. Students learnt how to create a blog, make movies, green screen and learn to use new presentation tools. They love technology and can’t believe how easy it is to pick up.

MathsMrs Gridley makes maths sooooo fun! I love how we

learn in a contemporary way and in the usual way. I like variety. I have really enjoyed going on the puzzle blog and the math starter of the day to warm up my mind. The way Mrs Gridley teaches maths makes it easy to under stand and to learn in complete understanding. I have learnt heaps of maths this year. I also think the family maths night was a good idea.

CampCamp was such a good experience. I will always

remember how fun it was. I faced my fears and had a go. I enjoyed every minute and wish I could go again. I never knew that I was brave enough to abseil and go on the GIANT swing. I greatly improved my teamwork skills.

Circle TimeDAILY FEED newspaper report- Circle TimeStudent Madeline liked the circle time because

she got to work with different people of all ages. She loved making an art piece and playing games with her group. Circle time is a good way to get to know other people. Students loved participating in the Mini Olympics with their group.

Positive Ed Dear Class, This year in positive ed I have enjoyed all

the new games such as pegasaurus, jump chasey and the word game. I like doing speed stacks. But my favourite thing was making a persistence poster. I’m really happy with mine. I think resilience was a good focus for the year.

ItalianDear Class,I enjoyed Italian this year because we got

to learn lot’s about Italy and Italian history not just the language . Italian day was a lot of fun and a huge success. This year was interesting and different.

Reflection This year has been amazing in everyway

and I can’t wait for next year. I have learnt heaps and everything I have learnt has been useful. I love being in Senior G.

LeadershipI have loved being in the Environment team and planning all the events such as scarecrows and tree planting. I have enjoyed trying to make our school more green. I have really enjoyed being on the Liturgy team and organising assemblies and ceremonies. I also thought that it was an inspiring opportunity to go to Saint Patricks Cathedral for World Mission Week.
