Term 2 - Week 2 2017

ANZAC Day Parade
During the ANZAC Day Parade first thing in the morning, 5A represented Currajong SS with respect and curiosity. Patrick and Jayden placed the wreath at the memorial stone. They did a great job along with all the other students who participated in the event. Patrick, Lachlan, Eli and Jayden also participated in the ANZAC Day March on the 25th of April. They made our school and myself proud.

English
We have started to look at our comprehension feature article, ‘Ruthless March of the Toxic Invader’. We have identified that a lot of the students are afraid of toads. The picture however, is a very disgustingly close-up of a toad. The students have had to explain the influence of where article writers place their images and how much they influence the audience to get a positive or negative reaction. 

Maths
We have continued looking at long and short division in preparation for our Maths Test – Number Crunch. Students are also excelling in their Times Table Challenge with plenty more certificates written out. I have created a progress bar graph for the students to see where they are up to and how far they have to go to get to the end. I think a visit to the printer room is required for more certificates to be created.
Perfect Attendance Certificate
Attendance
Every week if a student is at school for all required days or even participating in a school event, they receive a ‘Perfect Attendance’ certificate. Every Day Counts – the more time they are at school, the more information they will be absorbing.

Other Activities

Our Friday Afternoon Activities have started. Students who are involved in the Boot Camp with me have started a base line of where their fitness level is up to. They were to show us how many burpees, push ups, and sit ups they can do, and how long they can hold a plank for. All the students did a great job. Hopefully they were a little tired Friday night.

Students also had the opportunity to complete their Health Assessment on Wednesday explaining why a healthy habit is good and how to continue the healthy habit when they get older. We had access to the computer lab for 5A to research and answer these questions.
