What a way to celebrate almost getting to the end of Term 1! Today 5/6J had the chance to taste foods from other cultures around the world. There were samples of French brie, Spanish gazpacho, Italian lasagne, Chinese spring rolls and Vietnamese fried rice and rice paper rolls. We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Michael's mum into our class to demonstrate how to make Vietnamese rice paper rolls. Along with this came the extra visitors to our classroom - Mr Cridland (of course), Mrs Farley, Mrs Mathieson, Mrs Begley, Mrs Holdom and even surprise visitors from another school. We welcomed Mr Brown - principal of Tenambit Public School to share some of our tempting, tasty treats. Overall, the fried rice was a sizzling success with a rating of 10/10 given by all students. Thank you Mai for giving up your time to educate us further about Vietnamese culture. Another tantalising treat came from Benno's dad, who had been busy working, but still managed to come home and bake a luscious lasagne delivered to the door. What a treat, there were students lining up for seconds and even thirds. Look out My Kitchen Rules, IPS parents and students are lining up to be the next super chefs. Just to finish off our term in style and further excellence, I have to admit that I am one extremely proud teacher. Many compliments were given about the behaviour and respect shown by 5/6J to visiting staff and guests. Congratulations and I can't wait to see what Term 2 may bring!
During the weekly learning for our HSIE topic of the Real Game, the class have been learning about the types of businesses and services in their 'created' town called "Funsticksatopia." This week they will be making five new companies. Before they begin, they had to sit trial interviews for a position on each of these companies. Step 1 involved potential applicants who were applying for the role of office co-ordinators. These candidates sat for interviews with managing directors Mrs John and Miss Smash. Students had to answer organised responses, but for an evil twist, also had to think on their feet for impromptu questions thrown at them by the harsh interviewees. Step 2 involved Office co-ordinators taking charge of their companies and interviewing applicants for graphic artists, musical co-ordinators, writers and financial experts. Students participated with an extremely confident approach to the task. Announcements are being made tomorrow morning, so stay tuned for results. Here is a sneak peak of some of the inteviews in progress.
This week we have been learning about equivalent fractions, adding fractions and converting to decimals and percentages. So far we have built fraction walls, used number lines and played some matching games. Let's see how many comments we can get to show a record amount of equivalent fractions for 1/2.
At Irrawang Public Shool we show our Aussie 5's Everywhere, everytime and every place.

Class Dojos Dojos are our class reward to encourage positive behaviour for learning. We get Dojos for following the Aussie 5 rules. We can choose our own avatar as our profile picture.

On Monday, eight students from IPS were lucky enough to attend a debating workshop at Edgeworth Public School. These are the enthusiastic girls at the start of the day, ready to challenge their debating minds. This was a fantastic day and all students tried their very best and were exceptional representatives for our school. Well done Peri Perry, Tia, Mitchell, Ruby, Locky, Izac, Thomas and Cohan. ![]() |
