Welcome

Welcome to Grade 5/CC!



We are one of 3 grade 5/6 classes at Wangaratta West Primary School. We have 25 students in our class we have 2 teachers. Mr C teaches in the grade on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. He also works with different students on Mondays and helps in our class EQ sessions on Tuesdays and in his spare time helps out Mrs Sibley as our Assistant Principal. Mrs Carmody works in the grade on Monday, and Tuesday. This is a great set up with two teachers working together to enhance learning and bounce ideas around creating a dynamic classroom.

Writing in 5/6 KC

This was a game that we played to assist with our writing skills. We are looking at Procedure text, so this game was designed so students could understand what made good instructions. The game was called Blind Build, where the person with the blind fold had to construct a building made from Lego that looked exactly like their partners building without seeing it. Their partner had to give them the instructions. It was great fun, as students got more and more cleaver with their instructions they made the builds harder and challenged themselves. When each person had had at least one turn we then gathered all of our ideas to come up with a list of good ways to give instructions. I was really pleased with the ideas that 5/6kc students came up with and the way they interacted with each other during this lesson! Awesome work guys!
