Writing

At the start of the term we made a sentence buddy to remind us of the important parts of a sentence. Each sentence needs to make sense, have a captial letter and an end mark (full stop, exclamation mark etc). During our writing lessons we pit stop and students check they have used these.




We have been learning about nouns, verbs and adjectives during our writing lessons. During our pit stop students have been identifying their nouns (yellow), verbs (green) and adjectives (purple).












Students will also start using a seed journal that will have a collection of pictures that might inspire students to write during 'The Writing Process'.  We have made name plates for our journals.
If you have any pictures of things your child may be interested in writing about please email them into us, or send in a copy so we can stick them into their journal. These are some examples of seeds we think the children may find intriguing! Photos from magazines...

Pictures of their favourite toys...

Thank you for your support. We hope you have a wonderful holiday break.

Athletics Carnival

On Tuesday 9 April Fraser Primary attended the Athletics Carnival at Charnwood oval. We participated in some rotations. They included an obstacle course, long jump, rob the nest, shot put and relay races. We also ran in a race!

Have a look at some of our cool photos from the day.

Social and Emotional Learning

During our SEL lessons we have been reading the book 'Unique Monique' by Maria Rousaki. This book is about a girl called Monique who likes to be different and wears different things to stand out in the crowd. We discussed how each person is unique and it would be boring if we were all the same and liked the same things. Students thought about what made them unique.
