Cross Country Video

Cross Country 2015

 

It was a fantastic scene at Jellie Park today, as the Year 4 to 8 children competed at the Christ the King School Cross Country. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and persevered when their legs wanted to give up. Well done to all the children who competed and although the parent support. There was a great atmosphere.

More photos will be coming shortly of the children competing in the Cross Country.

YouTube Prank - Embarrassing

This is a YouTube clip I shared with the class regarding embarrassing moments. This is a prank, however it would be pretty embarrassing if you were one of the victims. Some children asked me to post this video so they could watch it again. Enjoy.

Kindness Boomerang - Prayers

In Room 13 we have used the above clip a few times for prayers, and Jamie also shared this video at our school assembly earlier in the year. It has such a powerful message and is relevant to how we should live each day.

Recount Writing

In writing this week, the students have been exploring the recount writing genre using the prompt, 'embarrassing moments'. Some students exclaimed that they had never been embarrassed and therefore the task was too difficult. As a class we discussed some of our embarassing moments and then the flood gates opened, and people had many ideas.

The moment I shared with the class was more about my friend being embarrassed. In talking about our ideas, the children begin to formulate their thoughts and sequence their ideas. I began my sharing with the ending and then using this hook, I explained how the moment evolved.

During writing time I also write with the children to model firstly writing but also the importance of proofreading, editing and sharing with an audience.
