Keys to Success
We are talking about the five “Keys to Success”:
- Confidence
- Getting Along
- Resilience
- Organization
- Persistence
We investigated some successful Australians from the last century to see which keys to success they used.
We have made posters of the following people:
Sir Don Bradman - cricketer
Paul Jennings - author
Cathy Freeman - runner
Mandawuy Yunupingu - Aboriginal Elder
Christina Stead - author
Banjo Patterson - Writer
Shane Warne - cricketer
Kieran Perkins - swimmer
Ian Kiernan - Yachtsman 1994 Australian of the Year
Each of these people has been/ is very successful at what they do and we can learn how they used the “Keys to Success” to help them become successes in life.

Working Together
Today we had a problem to solve in Maths - Capacity & Volume.
We had to make a 3D regular shape of 25 cubic cm using centicube blocks.
When we tried it individually, we couldn’t work it out. We tried and tried.
BUT
When we worked together in a group, we shared our ideas and came up with a solution!
Here’s what we came up with - one of the shapes is irregular and two are regular. Can you see which is which?
