Lightning Premiership Basketball

Lightning Prem Basketball

On Wednesday 11^th of March, 23 students from the LGs participated in Lightning Premiership basketball at Lara Lake Primary. There were two boy teams and also one girl team. We played teams from Lara Lake, Rollins and Northern Bay.

We all tried our best all day. The girls team won every game and got through to the next level which is in Term 4. The boys ‘A’ team also won every game and made it to the next level. Everyone had a great day whilst also trying their best and showing great sportsmanship!

Book Fair

DLG with the Very Cranky Bear

...and a Visit From a Very Cranky Bear!

But don't worry, he wasn't vicious. You'd be cranky too if you were as hot and sweaty as him!

This week we've had the Book Fair come to town and it will be here until next Monday (23/3). Classes will be visiting the fair and creating a wish list of books that they might like. Books and stationary will be available for purchace before and after school. There's plenty of good stuff for all ages!

To help celebrate the event, classes were visited by the literary celebrity himself, The Very Cranky Bear, and his very capable minder, Callan.

 

The LG Blog is Back!

The year has well and truly got off to a busy start in the LG building and there's going to be plenty more to keep us moving throughout the year!

This blog will be a place where you can keep up to date on the latest news as well as check for upcoming dates and events. You can also find links to some useful websites for games and activities for Maths, Spelling and Reading.

So far this year we've had heaps of fun getting to know our classmates and settling into class routines. We're really getting stuck into our learning and here's what we're doing in different learning areas:

Reading: We're focusing on reading accurately and fluently. The kids have been choosing 'just right' books that are challenging but not too hard and not too easy.

Writing: We've been building our descriptive writing techniques to create some stupendously and outrageously brilliant images for our audience. Soon we will be putting our skills to further use with narrative writing.

Maths: We've been exploring our place value system to explore how numbers are constructed and get our heads around some really, really large numbers and then extending this to look at some really, really small numbers and how decimals work. We've also been playing some great games to practice our mental computation skills.

Inquiry: We're investigating "The Story of Australia". Looking at what events and people have shaped Australia into the nation that it is today.
