Capers
| PREP | In Prep we have been exploring Indigenous places and their stories. We have been creating artworks using traditional mediums like ochre and symbols to share a story. We have also explored time by planning things to do on certain days of the week and sorting activities from longest to shortest. |
|
YEAR 1 |
In Maths we are working on interpreting number stories to determine whether we have to carry out an addition or subtraction number sentence. We are then using a range of strategies to solve them. In Science we have enjoyed exploring musical instruments to explain the different sounds that they can make. Do some make a higher pitched or lower pitched sound than others? |
|
YEAR 2 |
In Maths we are exploring how to transform shapes by sliding, flipping and turning them. This will be our final Maths assessment....Yay!!! We are also very busy with our displays for teaching others about how to save the Earth’s precious resources. Some of us are making posters, some e-Books, and some producing videos. |

YEAR 3 |
We have written our good copies of our Great Barrier Reef sensory poem and are making sure that we are using our best handwriting. We have completed our Science assessment looking at the conditions needed for a fair test. We are continuing to work on the strategies required to work out basic facts for addition, subtraction and multiplication. |

YEAR 4 |
In Year 4 we have been constructing marble runs out of cardboard for our Design Technology assessment using our knowledge of forces from Science this term. It’s been messy but fun and we’ve come up with some pretty amazing designs. |
|
Year 5 |
In English, we have been transforming Banjo Patterson’s poem, ‘Mulga Bill’s Bicycle’, into a narrative, as well as reading Henry Lawson’s ‘Roaring Days’. We have been investigating the roles and responsibilities of student school leaders in HASS and some of us have used this understanding in speeches when applying for school leader positions. |
|
YEAR 5/6 |
In 5/6, we have been working on our art inspired by Pop Artists, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Our writing is coming along nicely with all of us making sure our paragraphs include an idea, a how/why and an impact to better explain. |
|
YEAR 6 |
The Year 6 classes have been continuing to work through their English writing task on an advertisement. We have worked solidly on writing TEEL paragraphs for this. We are now close to completing both the HaSS and Science tasks for the term and working through our art portfolios. |
