School Reports
All teachers have been very busy writing reports to share the achievements of their students. We are keen to meet all families during the Parent Teacher Interviews to further discuss these reports.

 Save Jack Activity
During the past 2 weeks we have all been involved in a STEAM activity that required us all to design and make parachutes to save Jack from the Giant. Children were totally engaged, using engineering skills to complete the task. Modifications were made if necessary and children reflected on their learning.

School Beautification

Currently students in each class have got their heads together to target areas in the school environment that need a bit of a spruce up. We are continuing to work on areas and should see some improvements soon.

Maths
We have started a Box Project which asks students to find the dimensions, area and volume of their box, then draw a replica to be displayed on a poster. These will hopefully be completed by the time interviews come around.

Literacy activities
During CAFE Reading sessions we have been focusing on using visualisation and making inferences by reading between the lines and using pictures to tell us information that is not written in the text.
The past few weeks we have been writing narratives which include problems and solutions. We are becoming much better at setting the scene and describing characters in our stories.
