Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 are connecting their learning to History lessons. We have been looking at personal and family histories by exploring book themes of family trees, family traditions and personal biographies.
Stage 2 and Stage 3 are learning all about research and note taking skills. We have been learning how to scan a text for key words and how to judge the reliability of a website. We will use these skills to help us when completing inquiry tasks for a range of topics.
Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 have library borrowing on Tuesdays. 5/6R and K-6O have borrowing on Wednesdays. 5/6B and Stage 2 have borrowing on Thursdays.
Please remember to bring your library bags on your borrowing day.
Library bags are available to buy from our Uniform Shop.
The challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, to read more and to read more widely. The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is open to all NSW students in Kindergarten to Year 9. Teachers will record books read for Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2. Students in Years 3-6 will need to record the books they read themselves. If assistance is required, please see Mrs Beatty or Mrs Uhrig
You can also find support on the PRC website: prc@det.nsw.edu.au
Good luck and enjoy your reading.
