KC

It’s Fun to Add and Play, Let’s Now Fly Through Takeaway!

Working in small groups and

independently, the children will demonstrate

their understanding of number through practi-

cal activity, critical

thinking and collaboration.

KJ

Sailing on a Sea of Books

Join KJ to explore, reinforce

and practise reading through

a range of unseen texts and

various activities. Kindergar-

ten will show you how to

make connections with text

and locate the main idea of

a text.

STAGE ONE

1T

Numbers Up!

Through logical reasoning, team

work and interactive games, 1T

will share the relationship that

exists between multiplication

and division as well as explore

the properties of two-

dimensional shapes.

1V

Melting Moments

Students will investigate how

heating an cooling can change the

properties of matter, in this case

chocolate!! In teams, they will carry out

experiments, observe, record, discuss

and present the results of their scientific

investigations.

STAGE ONE

2A

It’s a Fact!

Students will respond critically

to unseen text applying

criteria to decide whether the

text states a fact (something

that is true) or an opinion

(a belief or a thought).

2C

Water Works

Linking their scientific

knowledge of the properties of

water, students will experiment

with colour and water to create

an original art work which

demonstrates their creativity

and self—expression.

Infants Coordinator: Mrs M. Kipriotis

STAGE TWO

3A

Before you End up in Defence, Think About the Consequence!

Life is full of decisions.

How do we know which

decisions to make? In

teams, students will work

on resolving disputes and

on making wise decisions.

This fun, engaging and

interactive lesson will

foster team work and will

provide opportunity for

students to discover,

connect, predict and apply their knowledge to real-life situations.

3S

Waltzing Into Reading with Matilda

Join Year Three as they

critically reflect on the

text and identify those

features that Roald Dahl

employed to engage the

reader. The students will

demonstrate what it is that

makes this a classic and

timeless story.

STAGE TWO

4C

You Can Count on Us!

Through cooperative groups,

students will work on logic

problems using the hundred

chart to represent the

relationship between

numbers and number system.

They will clearly articulate

their understanding and the

mathematical process

employed.

4T

Ring, Ring, Let the

Jingle Creation Begin

Thinking imaginatively and cre-

atively, students will work col-

laboratively to respond to text.

Students will write and per-

form a TV/Radio jingle to en-

courage people to recycle their

mobile phones.

Stage Leader: Miss T. Bletsogiannis

STAGE THREE

5A

Positive Peer Pressure

Year 5 have

developed strategies to

promote the power of positive

peer pressure. Watch them

create a print advertisement,

and YouTube clip using catchy

slogans and persuasion to

appeal to their target

audience.

5I

When is a Kangaroo a Kangaroo?

Using technology, students will conduct

research on the physical features of

desert and semi-arid regions and present

their understanding of how kangaroos

have adapted to these environments.

STAGE THREE

6M

Holiday Tour of China

China is an important

neighbour to Australia.

Using technology, students

will work in pairs to identify

the multimodal elements of a

tourism webpage. They will

use it as a springboard to

create an advertisement to

encourage their peers to visit China.

6P

Size Me Up

Is there such a thing as

‘Divine Proportion’ or ‘Golden

Ratio’? Students will work in

pairs to find whether there

are some common

relationships between the

measurements across the

human body. They will

present their findings. Can

they convince the audience of

their conclusion?
