Constructive Feedback


By Abby, Vivian & Jamie
In Yr 5 we use constructive feedback to improve our work by getting feedback by other students in our class and our teacher. We started doing constructive feedback after watching a video about a boy called Austin. Austin is a 1st grader and had to draw a scientific butterfly and to accomplish that he used feedback from the other students.





First, we have to do constructive feedback-self you have to write your name, what draft number, then  you need to sign it, write the date, what is your learning goal, what you did well and what you need to improve on.

Next, you have to show your work to two of your friends so they could fill in the constructive Feedback-peer and then you use what they said you need to improve on e.g. If they told you to be more creative you could add some colour to your work.

Finally, you have to give your work to your teacher and they will fill in the constructive feedback-Teacher


Goal

A goal is your aim, or what you want to achieve.

Volume for St Felix


Volume Activities for St Felix
By Paul, Matt D and James

This past week, Year 5 have been learning about Volume. We were given the challenge to create some learning activities for Yr 5 from St Felix. We split into different groups. Some were doing volume and others did displacement. Everyone did an activity: some did game, a tutorial, a song and a quiz. We learnt about the formula of the volume of an object. We times the Length, Width and Height.
