Writing Letters

We've been learning about writing letters this term. Here's an activity we have been doing on our interactive whiteboard. Have a go and see if you can correctly structure this letter.

G'Day from Australia


This term our topic is Keeping in Touch. We have been sending around a G'day from Australia to different schools in the world to see if anyone would like to be our pen pals. We got a reply from a school in Salt Lake City, Utah. We just started typing up a letter to them from our writing books today. We are very excited to get a reply from them and that they want to be our pen pals!

Creating a Learning Community

This is our first blog for the year 2009! For the first 2 weeks of school we have been doing C.A.L.C. I have enjoyed C.A.L.C. which is short for Creating a Learning Community. In the time of C.A.L.C. we have done some posters such as our great classroom poster, sustainability poster, a great student poster, a great teacher and our yellow pages. My favourite thing of what we did was probably the yellow pages. The yellow pages was where we said something that we were good at and made it into a yellow pages so that people can help others. The thing that I didn’t like as much as the others was a great student poster because it was hard to brainstorm things. We do C.A.L.C. so we can discuss the class rules, who we are and what we want our classroom to be like. Goodbye.
