ANZAC Day Ceremony

Today the wonderful year 6 children at Rowandale School planned an ANZAC Day ceremony for the entire school (which you may have read about in our Quality Work post).

Unscrambling a Recount

This week Mr Davidson found a recount that was all mixed up. He needed our help to put it back together. We worked in groups to cut all the sentences up and put them in order. It was tough work but some of us figured it out. Have a look at the work from three groups. Which one do you think should be put up on our writing wall? Vote with the form below the pictures.

Adding and Subtracting Words

Today we worked in groups to try to sort out which words mean to add and which words mean to subtract. It was VERY hard. We talked a lot with each other and tried to figure it out. Have a look at the work that one of our groups did:
