Our Year 3 task was to understand and create a persuasive text based on arguing a point of view. The Year 3 students considered the fact that all other year levels at the school had great 'built' playground areas while they had nothing, as an ethical issue and decided to write persuasively to the Principal and P&C to ask that this anomaly be addressed. Groups brainstormed:
- what they wanted an aspirational Yr 3 / 4 playground to look like and contain.
- arguments for a persuasive letter to be written to school authorities.
After the introduction had been written at a whole class level, groups were given aspects to develop the body of the letter and to write the conclusion.
The whole was put together as a class letter and each student signed it before the letter was copied and sent to the Principal and P & C.
The outcome was that the Yr 3 / 4 students got a new playground of which they are very proud.

Exploring Waste Solutions: Students were exploring waste in the school community. Some were surprised after performing surveys at how much rubbish was thrown away in the 'non-recyclable' bin. They questioned how to become a 'paper-free' society and then looked at how much paper we use on a weekly basis and realised they needed to think bigger. BYOT was eventually offered as a solution to classroom waste.

We have had a construction site beside our classroom all year. The company concerned should be ashamed. The area has been out of bounds, (and no teachers are on duty)but has become  a place to sneak away to if you want to misbehave. Staff have not raised concerns, but students have. They have suggested several solutions to the problem and in doing so have discovered the myriad of tiny problems (beneath the main one) that need solutions first.
