Starting out a new year in the library by reactivating our Twitter account and showing off the amazing new mural in our corridor - a gift from year 6 2021! @MountOusley @SusieHamers
Our K-2 students have made their predictions for the Early Childhood section of this year’s Book Week. Bat vs Poss for the win, My Friend Fred and One Runaway Rabbit as Honour books. Let’s see how close they are! @TheCBCA @MountOusley
Stages 2 and 3 continued their study of shortlisted Book Week texts. Students used toy soldiers, lego and printed backdrops to create their own tableaux, then photographed and edited them on iPads. @MountOusley @TiffanySinton #everyonecancreate
“Three was thankful for everything.” Students responded to this Book Week book by making origami gratitude boxes to fill with our own thankful messages. #PlayMakeCreate @MountOusley @paulajamieson
This week’s #playmakecreate activity was for the shortlisted Book Week title, “Goodbye House, Hello House.” Students used recycled materials to create their own illustration, based on Ann James’ technique. @MountOusley @paulajamieson
When Book Week meets #PlayMakeCreate - our year 3-6 students created creatures out of modelling clay in response to the picture book, “I need a parrot.” @MountOusley @paulajamieson @TheCBCA
Starting some activities for Book Week #CBCA2020: juniors making paddle pop stick puppets and seniors making a “first look” judgement of the picture book category. (Early leaders are “The Good Son” and “Three”.) @MountOusley @TiffanySinton
Beginning Book Week activities with a Play Make Create session on “Where the Wild Things Are”. A fun way to introduce the “Curious Creatures, Wild Minds” theme : making a forest for Max! @MountOusley @TiffanySinton @paulajamieson @MrsAMOPS
We're finally starting to use our library again, so we thought it was time for a bit of a publicity campaign to remind everyone how cool it is! Here is the first of our ads, made by two year 5 students. @MountOusley @TiffanySinton
Creating a scarf for our own “Twig”, based on the book by Aura Parker. Imaginative learning with picture books is so much fun! #PlayMakeCreate @MountOusley @TiffanySinton @SusieHamers @paulajamieson @MrsAMOPS
