Students have been studying the book “The Boy At The Back of The Class” - today we opened up a pomegranate after reading! Ss have been told to ask for permission from parents and carers when home before consuming - I hope that they have shared some with you and your family!

Author talk: Tristan Bancks! @tristanbancks Tristan shared his inspirations, thought processes and routines followed to create his children and teen books! Well done Tristan for being shortlisted for the Young Adult Indie Award in 2023 for Cop & Robber!

Today S3 students worked on creating a storyboard based on a short film, Piper. Piper follows the life of a little seagull who overcomes a challenge with the help of a friend!

Part of our literacy focus was vocabulary! Really enjoyed teaching this unit about natural disasters.. so many great books available that helps us understand the impact of these catastrophic events (and also what we can do to minimise it!)

Our Book In A Jar project is kicking off!

So impressed with 5/6 Numbats during our art lesson! We learnt about Chinese Watercolour Painting. The focus was on pigments and how artists use the rhythmic movement of lines to give form, harmony and unity of style.

Writing about animals is my favourite thing to do with young learners! We get to focus on noun groups, vocabulary and editing on top of our goals. 🏅

Students visiting the amazing art mural today - we shared what we noticed about the painting and how it is relevant to our school and had the opportunity to ask some questions to the artist who created the magnificent mural! Can’t wait to see it when it’s complete 😁✨🎨

After our amazing excursion at Western Parklands Lizard Log, 1D wrote about our experience! We borrowed phrases and tricky words, said our sentences to our partners, wrote our ideas and then shared it with the rest of the class. 😍

1D worked on writing sentences to describe the appearance of a wombat. Students completed think-pair-share before writing their ideas 🌟 @CanleyValePS

Year 1 students completed a guided drawing activity for ANZAC Day. The red poppy is a commemorative flower of remembrance to remind us of those who died or suffered in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

A quick pic to commemorate me taking the bus for the first time! I was actually so nervous of missing my stop and stared at my google maps the whole ride 😆😆😆 (thank you mum for always driving me to and from work!)

Respect is our character strength of the week! Wise Owl, Elephant, Sifting Sooty, Guard Dog and Sensitive Octopus are characters that help us function and interact with others every day. #growyourmind #growyourmindlife

For writing, 2H worked on using adjectives to describe Mo - a zombie that creates a scheme to encourage his carnivorous parents to eat fruits and vegetables 🥬🥦🍎🥕🌽

Yesterday we discussed how cartoons can use satire and irony. We then read through an article of plants in classrooms and shared our ideas of… plants taking over the classrooms 🫣

Students learning how to sort shapes according to attributes such as size, shape and colour. Students then worked on their shape and colour recognition and decision making skills to match the shapes to the stencil 🌟 @CanleyValePS

Students learning about mandala symmetry, creating one using 2D shapes and then colouring in one for mindfulness 😁

A book about how a young child sees the world, their worries and how they overcome them. Students created their own ‘worry dolls’ to remind them that they’re not alone ❤️

“The land flourished, because it was fled from so many sources - because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and people” Students learning about human migration and celebrating where our families have come from. 🌎 🗺️
