Prep |
Preps have been learning to write their opinion about a Julia Donaldson book as part of our author study. What can be achieved in one minute? How long does it take to take your shoes off? We are exploring these questions in maths as we learn about time and duration. We are finding lots of things that roll and spin as we investigate movement in science. In HaSS, we have been examining messy and clean areas. Guess whose desk is the messiest in Prep? |

Year 1 |
We have been exploring the structure of a Procedure in English. We know a procedure has: a title, list of equipment and/or ingredients and a sequence of steps to be followed. This week we enjoyed making popcorn and writing a procedure. In Maths we are learning to collect data and make a graph. Science is so much fun exploring Sound! We all know how to make a lot of SOUND!!!!!! |

Year 2 |
This week in year 2 we have had a lot of fun pretending to be George from ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine!' We have created a disgusting smoothie for Grandma by picking some really gross ingredients. We’ve also had some fun bumping up our writing to make it sound better! In science we are learning about one of earth’s resources – water. We’ve just begun reading about Whizzy’s journey. |

Year 3 |
We have been learning how to write a Diamante Poem and having fun exploring onomatopoeia and alliteration. In Science, we continue our Inquiry about “How do materials change when heated and cooled?” We used “spiderweb conversations” to take turns sharing our thoughts, knowledge and what we wonder. While in Maths, we can’t get enough of fraction and multiplication facts! |

Year 4 |
We have been looking at how to bump up our writing by adding evidence from the text. In Science, we are examining how forces affect our daily lives. Looking at what we can do to make our lives more sustainable in HASS has us thinking about the small changes that we could make in our lives. |

Year 5 |
The Year 5s are getting very excited for camp, only 2 weeks to go! In Mathematics, we are learning lots of useful strategies to help us solve real-world problems. We are also reading the novel ‘Storm Boy’ and will be comparing it with the movie version in our English Unit. In HaSS, we are discussing the values of democracy and how we can solve issues in our school and community. |

Year 6 |
In Year 6, we have been investigating the language features, text structures and visual features found within print advertisements. In Mathematics, we have started looking at chance games and explaining why there is a difference between relative and expected frequencies. All students had a great time at Year 6 camp and we cannot wait to show parents the photos! |
