NAPLAN TESTING

The Year 3 students have spent the past two weeks undergoing their first NAPLAN tests, where they have completed the NAPLAN Writing, Reading, Conventions of Language and Numeracy Tests. The students were required to write a narrative using the NAPLAN prompt of ‘following footprints or a track’. The students applied their knowledge from the Seven Steps to Writing Program which has been implemented across Years 3-7 to structure their texts in a creative and engaging way.   

All students used their new knowledge of the brain and applied their Growth Mindsets to tackle these new challenges. They found themselves reflecting after about how they kept using positive affirmations in their heads to encourage themselves to keep persevering. Students found themselves using various strategies to climb out of the Learning Pit to achieve success. The students should be extremely proud of themselves and be commended on all their hard work, dedication, and effort.
