Last week Year 6 students participated in a leadership workshop - Unleashing Personal Potential (UPP). The interactive presentation focused on building stronger relationships, bullying and the science of kindness. Students learnt about the potential impacts of bullying and kindness on others and on themselves. The focus was also how to resolve conflict through being assertive. It was great to see the fantastic teamwork and interactions among the students. We thank the team from UPP for providing the workshop that has empowered our Year 6 students to be great leaders within the ISS community.

3C – Goal setting

This term in Writing, Year 3 students have been focusing on information reports. As part of the learning process, 3C has been self-assessing their work using student marking guides and setting achievable goals for improvement.

Students have been learning about the structure of information reports, including the introduction, body paragraphs with factual information, and a conclusion, as well as key language features such as technical vocabulary, noun groups and present tense. They have also explored the use of visual features like headings, diagrams, and captions to support their writing.

In 3C, we like to refer to our co-constructed learning wall as ‘the third teacher,’ and it has been wonderful to see students consistently using it to refine their writing as they strive for success!
