For our Inquiry topic of ‘What makes you Australian?’ students learnt about the reasons why people immigrate to Australia. Students went home and interviewed one of their family members to find out their story. We learnt so much from our teachers, parents and grandparents journey to Australia. Amy was especially inspired by her mother’s story and asked if we could act out the interviews. We decided to dress up as one of our parents and show our learning of immigration through the interviews. We pretended to be doing an episode of ABC’s wonderful program ‘Australian Story’. In between the segments there are adverts. Think about the advert: what is advert trying to convince you to do? Who is the advert aimed for (gender, age group)? Thanks to our parents and grandparents who gave us their time and shared their stories with us! Enjoy our video!

Last Thursday our class celebrated Father’s Day by inviting our dads, brothers, grandpas, uncles, teachers and friends to our class for a Father’s Day Tea. We enjoyed some tasty treats and beverages, had a paper airplane making and flying competition, gave our guests their gifts and shared some of our comics and poems about our dads.

Special thanks to all the wonderful dads, uncles, grandpas, brothers, teachers and friends who made the effort to come and celebrate Father’s Day with us. It meant a lot to us!

Please view our photos of all the fun we had in our slide show below.

On Thursday, September 4th we celebrated Father’s Day by inviting our dads, grandpas, uncles, teachers and other important male role models in our lives to our class. We first surprised our guests with gifts; PUZZLES that that they had to put back together.   

Some of guests needed help putting their puzzles together. Once, they put their puzzle together they were able to read the message we wrote for them. Next we enjoyed some tasty treats and got to share some of our reports on our dads and lastly we got enjoy playing some games with our dads, grandpas, uncles and teachers! We played basketball, Monopoly, Scrabble, Dominoes and many other games! What a FUN day we had with our favourite male role models that we are lucky to have in our lives!

On Friday, May 9th our 3/4 class celebrated Mother’s Day by inviting our very special mums, aunties, grandmas and teachers into our class for a Mother’s Day Tea. We catered many different types of snacks such as cookies, tarts, muffins and beverages. We listened to relaxing, classical music as we gave these special ladies wonderful manicures.

Next, they opened their Mother’s Day gifts which were 2 tea cups that we especially painted for them.

Special thanks to all the mums, aunties, grandmas and teachers that came to our Mother’s Day Tea. We had 27 special ladies that came and we loved having you all in our class, spoiling you and being able to show you all how much we care!  🙂
