Summary of Parent Information Night

On Monday evening we held our Parent Information Night. It was very well attended and we covered quite a few topics including:

·                        Blogging – both students and class blogs

·                        iPad use guidelines and e-safety licence

·                       Our school goals for the year                  - Religion

         -       Literacy and

         -       Maths

·                       Our excursion to Canberra

·                       Homework

One thing we missed talking about was Genius Hour.  Genius Hour is one hour per week dedicated to the children researching a question that they are interested in finding out the answer to, something that they love and are passionate about. Once they have researched the answer they need to put a presentation together to show to the rest of the class. This will happen in weeks 9 & 10 of this term. They can present any way they like other than cardboard and paper. They can make an iMovie, a slideshow, a Google Slides, an animated movie, stop go animation, use an app, make a model etc

We are looking at whether it is possible to film this on Google hangouts so that it can be seen by parents.  We will let you know closer to the day if this is possible.
