On the other side...

For the past couple of weeks in Art we have been working on a piece of work called 'On the other side...'.

The artwork shows what it is like to live in Australia and the opposite to that where people are not as fortunate as ourselves.

The materials we used to create our artwork include coloured paper, paint, oil pastels, foil, cellophane, sponges, cardboard, glue and scissors.

I really enjoyed doing this art. Isobel
It was a great way to compare the differences of the different places. Amber-Rose
It was a great experience to use different materials to create one piece of artwork. Emma
It was fun to give ideas to friends. Chelsey
It was a great way to experience what it might be like in other countries. Stanley
I found doing the road pretty hard. Harry
I feel grateful for what we have, and grateful that I live in Australia. Brock
I enjoyed the hands on part of this activity. Sabian
It was fun because we got to paint. Joshua

We will post some photos soon.

A busy start to Term 2

In Maths last week were busy learning about different types of lines and angles. We were also able to use our protractors to measure different angles.


Did you know....
- Right angles are 90 degrees (Zac)
- An angle between 0 degrees and 90 degrees is called an acute angle (Conor)
- An angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle (Christine)
- A straight angle is exactly 180 degrees (Jock)
- A reflex angle is between 180 degrees and 360 degrees (Chelsey)
- There are 360 degrees in a circle, which is called a revolution (Alisha)

Matilda

Hello from the Year 6 classroom,

We have been reading our class book 'Matilda'.
Here are some of our thoughts....

Chelsey - I think it is really interesting and makes me want to hear more.

Tesshara - It makes me want to be able to do what she can do.

Stanley - I like all the characters in the story. I really like Mr Wormwood

because he is cheeky and funny to hear about.

Alisha - It is an intriguing story and makes me want to hear more.

Josh - It is interesting to read because the characters are cool. Mr Wormwood is my favourite because he is funny and greedy.

Christine - When you first hear a bit of the story you don't want to stop reading. Every time Miss A puts the book down the whole class says 'aaaaw'.  

Emma - I think Matilda is very clever and exciting to read about.

Zac - It is good, interesting and fun to see Matilda pull pranks on her Dad.

Amber-Rose - I liked it when Matilda bleached Mr Wormwood's hair!
