Kookaburras @ CPS 2020

Storytelling podcast talk today! Thanks Rosa and David for sharing your expertise 🎧 🎤

Today Stage 3 went on an incursion! Our Race, an anti-racism storytelling social enterprise ran a workshop on ethical storytelling, which will help us share digital stories about the diverse experiences and perspectives of people in our community for our PBL. @possumscps @OurRace

@bandicootsCPS & @kookaburrasCPS started some ‘blue sky thinking’ today to help brainstorm possible products for our diversity PBL! @CamdenvillePS

Lovely afternoon spent with our @Dingoes_CPS2020 buddies creating pigeon characters based on the picture book Gary 🎨 🖌

Hard at work finalising #needtoknow presentations @bandicootsCPS

Presenting #needtoknows: some impressive research undertaken and presented confidently. Well done @bandicootsCPS and @kookaburrasCPS

Welcome to Pancake, Maple and Syrup. The newest members of the school community 😀👋

Some fantastic collaboration and critical thinking on display from @kookaburrasCPS and @bandicootsCPS ✨

Working on developing our #drivingquestion for PBL this term. Using the history syllabus to highlight key content we can cover and thinking about our current context and the needs in our community!

We took a trip to the hall today for our PBL hook event! We watched clips from different interviews and documentaries that showcase the diverse voices of Australia. We’re looking forward to finding out our Driving Question! @possumscps

Portraits!

We read the book “Our Home, Our Heartbeat” by @Briggs, spending a series of lessons researching notable Aboriginal Australians, comparing his song “The Children Came Back” with @archieroach’s original classic “Took the Children Away” and creating these portraits! ✨

We acknowledge and pay our respects to Aboriginal people and recognise the land we stand on is and always was Aboriginal land: today and every day. We say SORRY ❤️💛🖤 #ReconciliationWeek #SorryDay

The compost crew is coming through! 😂♻️

You may have seen our posters up around the school this week! A reminder that it is Ride2School Day this Friday. Ride or walk to school to be healthy, care for our environment and be in the running to win prizes!

The leadership team ran Clean Up Australia Day today. An amazing effort across the school. Lots of thinking about how we can reduce waste, including ideas to have compost bins on the playground, recycle soft and hard plastics and have plastic free lunches ♻️💚

We started literature circles today as part of our literacy groups 😊

We are experimenting with ways of seeing our talismanic objects for @RedRoomPoetry
