| PREP | Things are on the move in prep. In Science this term we are using inquiry to explore the way things roll, bounce, spin and slide. Students are exploring the movement of different objects on various surfaces. Students have also started going to the computer labs to explore basic word processing skills such as font and colour. |

Wow, what a fun start we have had to Term 4. In our Science lessons we have been exploring sound. We have learned that sound is created through vibrations that send sound waves through the air. In English we are having so much fun following and writing Procedures. This week we enjoyed writing a procedure to create a Witches Brew!!! Maths has been about exploring the language of Chance, might happen (possible), will happen (certain) and won’t happen (impossible). We are also interpreting and creating picture graphs. |

YEAR 2 |
What’s the time Mrs Wilson? This is a question we are hearing less and less now that our Year 2 students have been working so hard to read and write time to the quarter hour. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs! Our Word Superheros are becoming experts at putting these together to make excellent command sentences for our procedures. In Science we have been exploring how important water is to our everyday life. What would you do if you had no access to running water for a whole day? In Hass the students are brainstorming ways we can all care for significant places. We’d love you to share any actions your family does when you are out enjoying your significant places. My family picks up at least 20 pieces of rubbish every time we go to a beach. |

YEAR 3 |
The Grade Threes are becoming Eco Warriors due to our unit in Humanities and Social Sciences. We need to create a call to action that can be put in place at school or in our local community. We already have a SOE (Save Our Earth) club that was established and is completely run by our students, and they help to tackle the issue of litter at our school. Creating our clay sculptures from our Raw Art Day was a huge success, everyone is looking forward to painting and decorating our marine animals. |

YEAR 4 |
We have wasted no time getting into our new science unit on forces and exploring friction, gravity and magnetism. In Maths we have been learning about decimals to hundredths and in English we are learning how to be more persuasive in our writing. Look out, parents! This might mean we are more persuasive at home too! |

YEAR 5 |
As part of their English unit, the Year 5s have been learning about Banjo Paterson and some of his famous bush ballads. They have also been transforming poems into narratives. In Maths we have been practicing solving equations with unknown quantities and in Science we have been investigating various states of matter, including solids, liquids and gases. |

YEAR 6 |
Term 4 brings a huge wrap up of a year of learning. In English we are working through advertising in the media and are about to start the reading comprehension task. In maths we have started to unpack a guided inquiry around the number of chairs that best fit into the hall. In Science we are covering earthquakes other natural disasters, and in HaSS, we are looking at Women’s Suffragettes. A nice busy period. |
