Classroom Learning
1A
Year 1 children are learning how to write a retell of a cultural story and illustrate their written work. Pictured here are two retells of ‘How the kangaroos got their tails’. We also practised drawing kangaroos.
2A
2A have started learning about multiplication related arrays and equal groups in maths. We are been using hands on manipulatives to assist us in learning all about these new concepts. Learning how to draw and recognise arrays and equal groups will help us understand what multiplication and division means in real life. We have also been learning about 3 digit numbers and place value and how to plot 3 digit numbers on number lines.
3A
3A got a very special visitor this week. This is Molly the dog. We read to her with great fluency, pace, pitch and volume. Molly will come back later in the week and check in with us to see how our narrative writing is going.
4A
Students in 4A recently enjoyed hosting a class theatre. Two students, Seneca Bickey and Tynan Andersen were chosen to paint wonderful backdrops for the theatre and they excelled.
Other students took turns at comparing, adjudicating, presenting in character and videoing.
Everyone had great fun hearing stories about child convicts and harsh, trying conditions they experienced back in 1788.
5A
Students have been reading the poem, “Fur and Feathers” by AB Paterson. They have transformed the narrative poem into a digital multimodal narrative that includes ideas from the poem. To go with the poem the students have drawn kangaroos and emus for art.
6A
Preparations for Year 6 Graduation are well underway, and last week students in 6A enjoyed assisting staff to package Rocky Road orders. With the end of primary school in sight, it is timely that students are writing a letter about their time at school in English. This has allowed them to reflect on the years they have spent at Bowen State School, and how this has made them who they are today. As first day of school photos continue to roll in, there has been a lot of reminiscing going on. Information about graduation will be sent home soon.
