 Goannas Class News      

Over the past few weeks in the Goanna’s class we have been working on improving our writing. I’m sure you have heard your children talking about sizzling starts, dynamic dialogue, backfill, tightening tension and many more terms that we have learnt. This new approach to writing has been implemented across the whole school after all of the staff participated in the Seven Steps to Writing course. At this stage, the Goanna’s have been working hard on sizzling starts and have come up with some incredible beginnings to their stories.

Also in the Goanna’s class as part of our PDHPE unit we have been looking at active lifestyles and how to keep fit and healthy. We have had many discussions about ways to be active and are learning how to create our own aerobics routines and circuits. Ask your children to put you to the test with one of their routines!
