Last week during Literacy Rotations I had the students show me something new they have learned this term about Indigenous Australia/The Aboriginal Peoples. I gave them a ball of Play dough and clay to create whatever they would like. It had to be something they didn't already know and they had to be able to explain what they were creating. Later in the week they did a Self-Assessment on their project. Below are some of the students creations. It was hard to pick just a few to show you because they all did such a nice job.
These are just two posters that we have hanging in the classroom because they have been our focuses over the past two weeks. The students are working on Narratives to read to their Buddies and they are gorgeous so far. I also introduced MadLibs to the students this week and they had heaps of fun listening to the story their adjectives created.
Alan drove us up towards where the fires were, just past St. Andrews to look at the destruction. Here are some views of the area from the car. We were unable to go into King Lake because the police are still patrolling the area and trying to give the residents their privacy.
Jack Johnson on the TV screen at the Sound Relief Benefit Concert in Melbourne. He was phenomenal!
These last two pictures are also from our weekend on the Great Ocean Road. As we were leaving Tower Hill we drove past these koalas. It is very rare to find them awake and moving, but we were lucky enough to see them cuddling with one another. The bottom picture is me having a freak out moment because the Emu was so close to me. We actually fed them right out of our hands! They are very greedy creatures because once we fed them something they wouldn't leave us alone.
