Change Expo
AMpMon, 15 Sep 2014 07:57:29 -040057Monday 14, 2009 by Grade56neighbourhood blog
Dear 5/6 Families,
We would like to invite you to our Change Expo. This Expo will present the ideas, influences and creations the students have developed during their investigation into,
“What drives and motivates change?”
Some students have worked on ‘pop-ups’, investigating what it means to affect change in the attitudes, behaviours and understandings of others. Another group of students have investigated people who have made change through their significant contributions to society. The final group have explored various changes that have occurred in society through invention, shifting paradigms and adaptation.
The Expo is being held in the 5/6 neighbourhood on Thursday 18th of September and will be open to the parents anytime between 5-6pm.
It is encouraged that all students attend the Expo at this time, to present their learning to the parent community. The doors will be open at 4:50 for students to come in and prepare for their presentations.
We apologise for the late notice of this invitation, however we look forward to seeing you there!
~ 5/6 Team
(Robert, Tash, Anna, Tim & Kate and all of the 5/6 students)

The Great Book Swap
AMpThu, 04 Sep 2014 02:05:05 -040005Thursday 14, 2009 by Grade56neighbourhood blog
THE GREAT BOOK SWAP ON WEDS SEPTEMBER 17To help raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to buy books for remote indigenous communities who don’t have access to books we’re holding a Great Big Book Swap. It also means we all get to have a new book!!!There are schools involved across Australia and the target is $100,000 to buy 10,000 books.If every child can please bring a book to school on Weds Sept 17 that they love but no longer want and a gold coin donation, then they can be part of the book swap. By donating a gold coin, they can then swap their book for a new book that someone else has donated.They just need to bring their books to the gym before school starts on Weds Sept. 17 and the gym will turn into a huge book swapping bookshop at lunch time.Hopefully everyone will be involved so we can all raise money for a very important cause and have a terrific new book to take home.

3d printing kids challenge
AMpSun, 31 Aug 2014 07:41:14 -040041Sunday 14, 2009 by Grade56neighbourhood blog
From CGTRader’s website:
3D Printing Kids Challenge: Learn, Dream, Create
If your brain is bubbling with ideas, you have a flair for technology and have the guts to go head to head with other young geniuses like yourself, take this challenge and see your inventions come to life.
Do you see ways how to improve the school life, home and leisure time using 3D-printed objects? Have you developed an inspiring toy concept or come up with a brilliant invention for everyday problems? Then go ahead and design it. The easiest way to develop a truly inventive idea for your project is to find something that causes trouble, a daily problem that gets people frustrated, something that requires a creative approach – then put your mind to it and offer a 3D printing-inspired solution.
We will welcome a wide range of good quality 3D printable models from juniors aged 14 & under.
Let your imagination roam free – learn, dream, create!

2014 Book Week
PMpSun, 03 Aug 2014 19:25:44 -040025Sunday 14, 2009 by Grade56neighbourhood blog
As part of Book Week the students will be participating in a whole school mini inquiry, commencing on Monday the 11th of August and concluding with a special 2.30 pm assembly on Thursday 21st of August. A big part of the inquiry will be to investigate, through book talk, how readers connect to the stories they read, and the kinds of personal, social, cultural and literary assumptions the writer is making about their reader. A reader’s prior knowledge and experiences support readers in responding to the meanings of the texts they read. Book talk not only encourages students to engage in and respond to the books they are reading, but by listening to the varied experiences of their peers, also enriches their own experience of the text. As a community of readers, we would like to extend an invitation for parents to come into the neighbourhood of their child and share a book that resonated with them at a similar age. Please let your child’s teachers know if you would like to participate in sharing your experience with the children by arranging a suitable time for this to occur.Tim Aris

BTN – STUDENTS TO POST RESPONSE IN THEIR E-PORTFOLIO
PMpTue, 29 Jul 2014 19:45:55 -040045Tuesday 14, 2009 by Grade56neighbourhood blog
The way kids are punished has been a big talking point over the past few weeks. Two comments started it all. First, the National Children’s Commissioner said putting kids in a ‘naughty corner’ might go against their rights. Then, a national education advisor said he would support the return of corporal punishment in some schools.
Do you think Naughty Corner type punishments go against your rights as a child?
POST THE QUESTION AND YOUR RESPONSE ON YOUR OWN E-PORTFOLIO 🙂

Week 2 Learning Agreement
PMpTue, 22 Jul 2014 18:54:24 -040054Tuesday 14, 2009 by Grade56neighbourhood blog
Hi Everyone,You’ll notice our Learning Agreement looks different this term. We’re trying to make this document more interactive and personalised by guiding the children to identify and highlight their learning tasks and goals themselves. Whilst all students are currently being given support, we do anticipate that many will be able to highlight their targets/tasks with greater independence and confidence soon. We would like to assure you that all students are being supported, and ongoing additional guidance will be provided for students who require it. The idea is that the LA tasks will be specific to the learning needs of each child. You should notice these working documents getting busier and busier as we progress into term 3! If you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to discuss with any of the 5/6 teachers.

ICT support for 5/6
AMpTue, 15 Jul 2014 04:20:24 -040020Tuesday 14, 2009 by Grade56neighbourhood blog
To streamline the ICT support and resolution system, students now have more direct access to the school technician three hours per week. The allocated times are at 9-10 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. In order to see the technician a student will simply need to fill out a very short form outlining the complication and then see a teacher to let us know. A Form and further information is available from Robert in the 5/6 Neighbourhood.

Thursday is World Blood Donor Day. Only 1 in 30 Aussies actually donate.
Do you think it should be compulsory for people in Australia who are 18+ to donate blood?

PMpWed, 28 May 2014 18:19:42 -040019Wednesday 14, 2009 by Grade56neighbourhood blog
This week is Reconciliation Week, a time when all Australians are encouraged to celebrate Indigenous culture. And a big part of that culture are traditional languages. Did you know hundreds existed in Australia before European settlement? Some are still alive while others are starting to be forgotten.
WHY IS RECONCILIATION WEEK IMPORTANT TO AUSTRALIANS AS A COMMUNITY?
