PUBLISHED AUTHORS

THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF OUR FANTASTIC STORIES

OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE BEEN WRITING AND PUBLISHING OUR OWN STORIES. WE HAVE BEEN WRITING NARRATIVES FOR A YOUNGER AUDIENCE.

READ OUR COMMENTS TO FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW WE MADE OUR BOOKS.

YOU'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WAY IN WHICH WE WROTE AND PUBLISHED OUR STORIES DURING THIS ACTIVITY.

MOST IMPORTANTLY WE'LL TELL YOU SOME THINGS WE HAVE LEARNT ABOUT WRITING AND THE WAYS IN WHICH THIS ACTITIVITY HAS IMPROVED OUR WRITING.

Electricity Issues & Missy Higgins....what do they have in common???

It was very obvious at the Arias that many of our talented artists have a real concern for global issues. In March, a number of Australian artists supported 'Earth Hour', giving it greater emphasis in the community. Many young people were more interested because their favourite artists were supporting this cause. As students studying electricity you have no doubt thought about the issues....if you need some more information go to http://www.smh.com.au/earthhour/2008/

IMAGINE MY DAY WITHOUT A ..........

WIKI vs PODCAST

6 Blue are all very busy at the moment thinking, creating and writing narratives and radio scripts. We have exciting plans for all of our hard work. We want to develop our writing skills, share our work with other people, know what other people think of our work, perhaps find out of others how we can improve our work and of course we want to display our work in a different and exciting way.

Why do you think we have we chosen different ways of sharing our work?



Briefly explain what work it is your doing for the Wiki and the podcast.



Why do you think a Wiki was chosen for our narratives?



Why do you think a podcast was chosen for our radio scripts?



Compare the two types of communication we have chosen. Do you think one is better than the other?

YOUR HFS LEGACY!!

A legacy is what you leave behind after you have gone. It is made up of the memories that people have of you.

How do you want to be remembered at HFS? What do you want to be remembered for doing or being? In your answer you might like to think about how different people might remember you - your classmates, teachers and other students.

EXTENSION 1........It is your words and actions that determine your legacy. How can you make sure that you are remembered in the way that you want to be remembered?

EXTENSION 2........How do you think the class of 2007 will be remembered as a whole group? How would you like the Year 6 of 2007 to be remembered?

HFS MEMORIES!!

What are your favourite HFS memories? When you reflect back on your time spent at HFS, what are the memories that bring a smile to your face, make you laugh or perhaps make you want to shed a tear or two?

HIGH SCHOOL! JUST AROUND THE BEND.....

What are your thoughts about that? What are you expecting? How will it be different to what you have become used to at HFS? What are you hoping? What are you fearing or dreading?

HANDBALL COMPETITION

A CHALLENGE FOR YEAR 6

As a way of raising money to help with the cost of the Year 6 camp Mr K has suggested that we organise a handball competition for children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Children who wish to enter the competition will have to pay an entrance fee.

There will be a girl and boy champion from each grade - champions will need to be presented with something for their achievement.

Now for the challenge - It is up to all of you to work out how the competition will be organised.

Some things you will need to think about -

prizes
when/where
entrance fee
advertising
rules
referees

There are I am sure many other things to consider and plan - GOOD LUCK

PROPOSED RULES FOR PRIMARY HANDBALL COMPETITION

These are the rules that people have come up with for our handball competition.
What do you think?
Can you think of any important rules that have been missed?

Referees decision is final
The court you play on and the people you play against will be chosen randomly.
An elimination warm up game will be played before every elimination game.
No Pop Ups.No Grips.
Serves must be at waist level.
Players can’t get out on the first serve.
You can only serve to a player who is in a square that touches your own square.
The ball can only bounce once in your own square.
If a ball rolls it is a replay.
If a ball is hit on the full into another square the player that hits the full is out.
A line ball is played on.
The last two players from every court will go into the elimination round for each year group.
There will be one boy and one girl champion handball player from each grade.

Mrs W is Trying To Learn How To Podcast

THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT CREATING AND RECORDING A PODCAST.

IT WAS A BIT HARD AT FIRST - I HAD TO DO A LOT OF THINGS THAT I HAD NEVER DONE BEFORE.I AM HAPPY WITH THE FINAL RESULT .

EVEN THOUGH I'M HAPPY WITH THE PODCAST I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I NEED TO IMPROVE ON.

I AM SURE THAT PODCASTING WILL BE A GREAT WAY TO RECORD AND PUBLISH OUR RADIO SCRIPTS.

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK - I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT ALL THESE NEW WAYS IN WHCIH WE ARE LEARNING.

POLICE LINE UP

YOUR TASK IS TO EXPLAIN THE “POLICE LINE UP” ACTIVITY TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE AT THE CREATIVE ARTS EXPO TODAY.

YOUR EXPLANATION SHOULD INCLUDE ENOUGH DEATIL SO AS THE PEOPLE WHO WEREN’T IN CLASS WOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO IN THE ACTIVITY.

THINK ABOUT ALL THE LEARNING THAT YOU DID DURING THE ACTIVITY. ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION "WHAT MATHEMATICS DID I LEARN"?



OPTIONAL -
WHY DO YOU THINK WE DID THIS LESSON?

HOW WOULD YOU CHANGE THIS LESSON IF YOU WERE ASKED TO TEACH IT WITH A YEAR 1 CLASS?
