5SK’s Art Gallery
Op Art – Garlic Cloves
We are starting our new art piece today inspired by Tina at http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.frubilledkunst.dk%2F&sl=da&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
The garlic cloves look fantastic and I am sure that 5SK will love this task. We will add to our gallery tomorrow.
Video Editing Software
5SK has started making persuasive videos to send to Mrs Bearden and her wonderful class. As we are new to this genre we need some assistance. Can you help? What type of software do you all use to edit? Is there an app that we can open our video in to edit? We are looking for a program that allows us to insert new images and music. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You Are All Awesome
Mrs K and I are so proud of you with the effort you have put into your preparations for NAPLAN. Great job 5SK. Have a big sleep tonight and we will see you in the morning.

No More Junk Food
Junk food should definitely be banned. This food does damaging things to your health. It makes you feel terribly sick, your energy levels go high to low in ten seconds or less! Junk food may look nice and taste delicious, but it’s absolutely horrible. By Hannah
Junk Food Should Be Banned at School
Junk food should not be at school. It makes you tired, the food colouring makes your behaviour bad and it’s basically like eating cardboard. Kids in Australia enjoy junk food but it is extremely bad for their health! By Brandon
Junk Food Should Not Be Allowed at School
Junk food must be banned at school. It makes kids go hypo, the sugar is unhealthy and makes you tired. Junk food is spreading all over the world. All children love junk food but everyone knows that it is very unhealthy and you could get sugar diabetes if you eat too much. By Madison
No More Junk Food at School
Junk food, what’s horrible about it? EVERYTHING! The sugar that goes into junk food is terribly terrible for your health! It makes you sick and makes your energy drop like a blink of an eye. It may be tasty but it’s destroying the world! By Shahnti
Fast Food Should Be Banned in Australia
We all know that junk food has a bad reputation for the high amount of sugar. Junk food is horrible and oily. Junk food has a really high amount of sugar and is tiring. Kids in this lovely country may love it but it is affecting health in our beautiful Australia. By Mikayla
No More Junk Food
Horrible, disgusting, unhealthy junk food! Chocolate or lollies are bad and horrible for your body. Junk food causes your sugar to drop. High amounts of sugar make you tired and colours added to junk food can cause bad behaviour. Kids enjoy junk food as it tastes wonderful but it is bad for your body. By Rubi
American Currency
We have had the most exciting learning opportunity this week. Mrs Bearden and her amazing 5th grade class in America created three videos and a poster to explain their currency. We were beyond excited when we saw the post. Our Principal, Mrs Franklin even came over to watch the videos with us. What a way to learn!
Today we applied our new knowledge by completing a set of money questions. The students were able to easily solve the problems with their new schema. Zac was also able to bring a bag of coins in today to show us what they look like. It was so interesting to look at the difference in sizes. We will add a post on that topic tomorrow. Mrs Franklin gave us a one dollar note. I think we may have to frame this to remind us of our wonderful experience.
Mrs Franklin has set us a new challenge which we will work on over the next few school days. I must say that I am very interested to find out how to tell the difference between the notes without looking at them.
Can you guess what 5SK asked after watching the video? You guessed it. Can we make a video? Definitely!
Thank you again Mrs Bearden and class. You have provided us with such an exciting learning opportunity and we are very thankful.

Mrs Franklin’s Challenge
Dear Year 5SK,
Please research this information:-
1) Name the colour/s of all the USA notes.
2) What is the ‘slang or common’ term for American money?
3) How do visually impaired people tell the denomination?
Well done in all your learning efforts.
Mrs Franklin
Free Dress Day
Just a quick reminder about Free Dress Day. Mr I will be locked up during parade today to raise money for our PCYC. You will have the choice to put money in one of the two buckets. I have a feeling that the ‘Keep Him Locked Up’ bucket may be quite heavy though. 🙂
