Hear all about it !!! WTV6 Our very own class news show. Scroll down under the students names and click on WTV6 Term3 After working so hard on our T.V station last term, only to find that the internet connection to the school was not strong enough to be able to play it live we all got a bit despondent about this however we are now up and going again and have a new way to get this running again.

We have reporters, writers, editors, cameramen, anchormen, technicians --everyone has selected a role that suits them best. We are busy asking questions, writing reports, editing these, filming and putting it all together! A great way to integrate ICT into the classroom situation with an authentic content - reporting on what is happening in and around the school. This integrates and develops our writing, reading, editing, oral language, camera and computer skills. It also integrates and develops our key competencies using thinking, relating to others, participating and contributing, using language ,symbols and texts and most definitely self management skills. We are reflecting on what works and what doesn't and how we can improve for the next news broadcast. It's all there!

Click on the WTV6 on the left under the class names and play our new TV station to see some of what has been happening at our school this term - we aim to get better and better with our filming and presenting of this TV station.

Term Two sees the exciting beginnings of running a live TV station from our class. The children all have responsibilities of being either a reporter, cameraman, writer, editor, anchorman ( the news presenters ) and technicians. They all know the expectations of their roles and have selected to be in a position that suits their capabilites. They all worked very hard last week to get their news reports and camera footage to the writers/ editors who then passed them on to the computer technicians. We then went on air on Friday afternoon with the whole school watching but unfortunately the internet connection to the school was running at an all time slow so this was unable to be aired. A huge disappointment to everyone. The class had worked so hard and all was sorted at our end. We have tried again today and internet was down again. We now have to problem solve to see how this can be aired live. We are all ready to go!!! Talk to your children about it and they can tell you all about it.

Outdoor Education A huge thank you to our wonderful parents, grandparents and relatives who came along and helped with the activities. Over the two days we had 45 parent ( and grandparents and relatives ) who assisted us. We all thank you so much! Students in our class have been writing letters to these people on behalf of all of the Year 5 students. Have a look at some of our photos of our Outdoor Education days. media type="custom" key="10711722" Our class is now writing a recount of this event and are then going to transfer their recount onto a Toon do on their own wiki page.
