Voting for our School Council

Burnaby children cast their vote.

Our very valuable school council are in session, thanks to a very civilised voting afternoon.

In the morning the prospective candidates voiced their intentions for the executive council before a private vote was held for children to select their preferred choices for the positions on the executive council.

Well done Walkley...














Brainstorming

How we plan to write...

At Walkley all our children use a brainstorm platform to help them plan their writing.

In the Gruffalos class the children will be producing a class book of adaptations of the Gruffalo story by Julia Donaldson.

First we deconstructed the story to see how it fits onto a brainstorm...


Next the children created their own monsters for their own adaptations.

Now the children are beginning to use the brainstorming format to plan their adaptations.

Updates to follow.

Presentation is Key

Presentation is key

Look how beautifully Y2s are already working in their Numeracy books. At Walkley handwriting and presentation are really important and in Y2 we are learning the skills to showcase our hard work.



Wow, well done Maddy!!!
