It is amazing to think that 6 months after implementation, our students are now teaching other schools about the way Chromebooks can change a classroom.

Sharing Our Chromebook Knowledge
It was an absolute pleasure to introduce Chromebooks to the Modbury Primary teachers, staff and students on Tuesday night. I was accompanied by four students from Room 7 & 8 and quite simply they blew away their captive audience.
It is amazing to think that 6 months after implementation, our students are now teaching other schools about the way Chromebooks can change a classroom.

Week 1, Term 3
STUDYLADDER
This week's activities:
30 tasks will be available for all students during Week 1.
These were set in the holidays and may have already been completed.
Due Monday 3:30pm
LSCWC
Students are expected to complete three LSCWC (Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check) by Tuesday morning. (LSD)
READING
Read for ten minutes every night or twenty minutes three times in a week.
MATH
Floor Planner
All students have a Floor Planner account and have begun to navigate the creation of a house.
Each student is expected to create a 2D/3D replica of the house they live in. ( If more than 1 choose)
We are aware that the students will want to focus on the aesthetics of their house and this is an expected part of their project. It is very important that the kids measure the rooms and try to be as accurate as possible so they see the real use of area and perimeter and we can develop these mathematical concepts in class.
We will be visiting this in class but obviously the measurement and creation can only be done at home.

REMINDER - SHARED LUNCH THU 7/7/16
REMINDER !! SHARED LUNCH THIS THURSDAY
ROOM 7 - bring SAVOURY
ROOM 8 - bring SWEETS
NO NUTS.
This Thursday room 7 & 8 will celebrate another successful term:
We've had NAPLAN. We've read a great novel called Tom Appleby and been on an excursion to the museum and art gallery. We've learnt about pulses in science and made rangoli art, and curried lentil soup - and ate it! We've done maths, maths and more maths! Learning about area, perimeter and more complex multiplication with double digits. The year 6s are preparing for micro businesses in Term 3. They are recruiting Year 5's to do their advertising campaigns. Begun our coding journey on Scratch. We've presented an amazing assembly and sung the Youkai Watch song. And the list goes on...
Bring along a plate of food. Savoury if you're in room 7, sweet if you're in room 8. Please, no nuts including sesame seeds.
