Getting ready for our Trip
This week we have taken part in a lot of our IDL topic work. We were confident individuals learning about the process of going to the airport. Then we went to our Oak Travel Agents to book our holiday to Australia. The boys were able to be effective communicators to share information about their dream holiday.
They worked on their literacy skills, reading, writing and signing / speaking to tell their friends how many people were going on their holiday, the type of accommodation they would like to sleep and their mode of transport to get to Australia.
This week we were effective contributors to help make our Lamington Australian cake, the boys listened to instructions well when baking this cake.

Video Killed The Radio Star
As a part of Digidabble week the Transition boys used their literacy skills to look at song lyrics to try and recreate a well known music video. The boys sat in the shade of the sun to plan their story board. They then used a digital camera to film it on a different day. A link to the video will follow next week but can you guess what song we were looking at? No prizes for the winner unfortunately!

National Digital Technology Week
National Digital Technology Week, we have been enjoying taking part in the literacy and numeracy tasks this week on the iPad.
We were successful learners when we were taking part in a group challenge during our time work. We were experiencing how long one minute felt and who could pop the most balloons in a minute. Nathan was the champion! There was a lot of concentration from all the boys during this challenge.
We had a fun party for one of our class friends to wish him good luck!
We all enjoy coming together and having a laugh.

Superhero Stories!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Moonbeams class were very successful learners today when doing our imaginative writing. We used dice to randomly choose who, what and where we were writing about. We then used this information to create superhero stories.
