An interview with Andy Griffiths
Andy Griffiths is Australia's top-selling children's author. He has written some of the country's most loved children's books, including Just Crazy, the Day My Bum Went Psycho, the Schooling Around series and the Bad Book.
The Year 4 / 5 class had been reading some of Andy's books, so we contacted him to see whether he would be willing to be interviewed by the students. Andy kindly obliged, taking part in a telephone interview from his home state of Victoria.
Andy shares a number of amusing anecdotes about how he became a writer and where his inspiration comes from. You can listen to a recording of the interview in Episode 21 of our school podcast, Podkids Australia.

Australian Animal Research
Year 5 student Mikayla has been researching the extremely rare Bundera Cape Range Remipede. This animal is so recently discovered that there is practically no information available about them.To complete her project, Mikayla had to directly contact the curator of the West Australian Museum. She then presented her findings to the class (and now the world) as a slideshow.
Creative Students
This week, students in the Year 4 / 5 class have been using the Scratch programming language as a tool for enhancing creativity while learning vital maths, logic and technical skills.
For example, Year 5 student Owen has created this maze game. Click on the picture to play Owen's game online.
Some kids play video games; At our school, students build them!
