Games+and+activities

The Big Six is an initiative that came back to Murputja via our Principal and his attendance at the 'Principals as Literacy Leaders with Indigenous Communities' conference in Cairns. Jess from Indulkana showed us her Big Six board at our Band Meeting last week and I want to try building it into our morning literacy routine. Apart from the obvious literacy aim I have another one as well whichis to teach and reinforce competencies in independent learning and working in the classroom. So far, all I have done is set up a few Task Cards, support materials boxes and a designated zone in my classroom to trial it all. Students will be learning recording data, working in pairs (buddy) and making choices about their goals for the week. I'll update as I go and would love any other Task Card style activities anyone wants to add. Hopefully the April holidays will be a chance to reflect and tweek the wrinkles out ready for next term.
