The Brainy Bunch

Last Year, when our class met for our transition days, we asked the students what they would collectively like to be called. They liked the idea of ‘Superstars’ but, due to our Mind Up curriculum, they really wanted it to be something that referenced their brains and the commitment we made to work together as a team in the year ahead. The teachers then put their minds together to generate a collective name for our class, and so the idea of “The Brainy Bunch was created.

Together the Brainy Bunch brainstormed their class code of conduct, which very creatively, when written as an acronym is the word brains.

While learning is their common goal, their ultimate goal is to learn in an environment that is happy and fun. So fun, that they don’t even realise that they are learning. One example of this is how we worked together to produce our digital assembly. Students have been voice and video recording their contributions to our assembly. So much time and effort has been put into this production, and we are extremely proud of it. It was an amazing opportunity for students to see what life might be like for the talented people that work in media to bring us news daily.

Another example of the terrific team work in the year three class, was how well students collaborated to learn and record our parody of the ‘Brady Bunch’ theme song, which we renamed ‘The Brainy Bunch.’

We hope you enjoy our parody.
