UOI task - The Government Game

The challenge is to make an interactive game that informs or tests the players about Civics and Citizenship here in Australia.

Your aim is to make the game engaging, share your knowledge and understanding of how our democracy works and challenge your creativity. Here are some areas of information that you could focus on in your game:

Democracy

Federation (include Constitution)

Rights and Responsibilities (being an Australian Citizen)

Three Levels of Government

Parliament

Voting

You could choose one area of focus or combine a few areas to create your game.

The task itself is split into two parts. To go on with the second section, you need to have shown a teacher the first section.

Section A - You must collate the information that you will include in your game for each of the above areas. This can be done in your books or on your iPad. The choice is yours. When completed, show it to a teacher to be checked off. When checked off, you can move onto Section B.

You need enough information to share at least 20 facts/concepts

Section B - Be creative and create your game. When you have completed your game, post pictures, links and or parts of it to Seesaw in the folder UOI - Civics and Citizenship.

Assignment is due Wednesday morning Week 5 (31st of May)

Here is a gigantic link that might help you with some information or ideas on presenting.

Devotion
Today we chatted about God being amazing from creating and recreating things that are broken and restored through forgiveness, to the peace, grace and love He offers, and much more.  Students created these lego images as a symbol of how amazing God is! We think their lego work is also amazing!

o   2nd page is the form you return. On here you will need to cross out and add names of people on your child’s collection list. If there are no changes to be made, please still sign the form and return it.

o   This is a good time to make changes with taking people off or adding others onto your child’s collection authority.

Can you please check school bags, around the hou

Here we are, a couple days left. It would be interesting to know how all the students are feeling. I do know that some can’t wait to move on and some don’t want to leave. As always, many are probably feeling a little bit from column A and column B.  Reports Reports to go out tomorrow.  Pizza Lunch Tomorrow Tomorrow, as a gift to the students, Tayla and I have organised a pizza lunch for students. We hope they enjoy! Graduation Evening Please see your invite for the details of time. The evening will commence with the graduation ceremony and will lead into an evening of enjoying each other’s company one last time as a group.  So that things run smoothly, we ask that you arrive on time.

Creeping closer and closer to the end of the year, but the work doesn’t stop…  Academics   The big ticket item in class right now is responding to the Ted Hughes novel The Iron Man. The Playberry literacy routines will continue through to the end of the year and in maths we are currently playing around with algebra and problem solving.  End of Year Guff As a part of the student graduation, we are after a photo of each child from when they commenced school (Foundation). If your child commenced at a different school, we would love it if you could email us a digital copy so we can add it to the presentation.  For the graduation evening, it is expected that students are wearing formal summer uniform. That includes socks 😁 Signing gear - we understand that kiddies (and adults) love this and that’s ok. History tells us that it also becomes a great distraction and sometime comments aren’t always written with kindness in mind. We will be talking to students about this but we will also only ac
