Book Week Parade 2017

By

Book Week is always a great event. It's an opportunity to have fun and dress up, celebrating the many characters, authors, and illustrators that we encounter in reading and writing. This year, so many of our Stage 3 students dressed up and participated in the parade. 

The theme for Book Week was "Escape to Everywhere". Many of the students featured characters from popular fiction such as Super Heroes. We had characters from Star Wars and Doctor Who featured. We had little Mis Cupcake and King Peter from Narnia. We also had a visit from the Men in Black and a Panda Bear. A big thank you goes to all of our parents who have made, created or provided costumes in some way. We appreciate the support and care that you have shown in helping make this day a big success. 











What did you enjoy the most about Book Week Parade? Who is your favourite book character? Which character did you choose to go as and why?

The Burnt Stick- A Personal Response

By
Stories can help us see, the experiences and emotions of other people. Using stories to empathise with another person's life can be a powerful way to change the views that we might hold about other people. It puts us into their shoes, and see another person's life through their eyes.

The Burnt Stick is a book written with that intention. The story is about an aboriginal boy called John Jagamarra who was taken from his family when he was 5 years old. He was taken by the Welfare man to live with the Fathers at Pearl Bay Mission for Aboriginal Children, to learn the ways of the white man.

The students in Stage 3 have been learning about how to write a personal response to a story. Personal responses come in many forms but always need to have a summary of the story and a personal response or opinion about it.

The criteria for our personal response is:



The starting point for the writing was to brainstorm ideas about the feelings and thoughts about the story. What would it like to …

"My Country" Poetry Writing

By
Words can have an impact when we use them in ways that create images and evoke emotions. Poetry is a way of writing that allows someone to communicate these images and emotions in a deeply personal way. They require creativity and thought about a subject, often using a limited amount of words to so.
Dorothea Mackellar is an Australian poet, who uses imagery in her poetry to great effect. They portray her love of her country by creating images of colour and ruggedness through a rich use of descriptive words. The most famous of her poems is called "My country", which the students then compared to another poem of hers called "Colours of the Light".


After completing the lessons on imagery from these poems, we came up with a definition and looked at the words that can evoke the 5 senses. 
To start the process of using imagery in our own writing, we brainstormed ideas for poems. This helps the process of pre-writing. Getting ideas written down assists the students' …
