Learning and Innovation Centre (LIC) Update
Learning and Innovation Centre News
I would like to welcome, Ms Asher Stander who will be replacing me for the term while I am A/DP at another school. She will continue working in our Learning and Innovation Centre (library), teaching classes, and exploring literature from the current English units of study as well as managing components of the centre.
This fortnight in our lessons Year One and Two classes have been revisiting what a sentence looks like. We have also looked at nouns and verbs and written some interesting sentence. Year 3 to 6 have learnt the TEEL method for writing.
T-topic sentence
E-explanation
E-evidence
L-linking sentence
The Year Three and Five classes will be using this to help them with learning how to write a persuasive text. Year Four are looking at types of sentences, (simple, compound and complex) Year Six writing links to their HASS unit to help write about famous Australian’s.
Lunch time
The Learning and Innovation Centre is open every second break. All children from Year )ne to Six can come into the LIC to read, play quiet games, complete puzzles, colour, and draw. Our Year Six student leaders come in and support the other children and help reshelve books.

Congratulations to these classes over the last two weeks who have no overdue books. You have worked as a team to support each other.
Outstanding Fees
I have now emailed all parents of child with overdue books from last year. If the book hasn’t been returned our BSM will be sending you an invoice this week. If you have outstanding fees for lost books from last year, could you please pay these as soon as possible. Your child is unable to borrow until this matter is resolved.
