Prep 

Prep have read The Potato People by Pamela Allen and we’ve been busy creating our very own Potato People! Soon we will be writing about our new friends. We’ve been revising numbers to 20 and even to 30 for mathematics. We’ve been enjoying getting in the pool to practise our swimming skills so we can be beach-ready!  

Year 1 

Such a busy Term 4.  We have been demonstrating our learning throughout the term with some final tasks in all our learning areas. In HaSS we have been learning about the varying events that our families celebrate and recording school and personal events on timelines.  In English we have written some very interesting procedures of either DISGUSTING smoothies, pizzas or sandwiches. We definitely do not want to try some of these!!!! Interpreting number stories in Mathematics are not always easy but we are rising to the challenge. 

Year 2 

It has been a week of Marvellous Medicine! The Year two’s have finished listening to ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and are now discussing George and everything he got up to! Our procedures for Grandma’s medicine are now complete and we are busily discussing sustainability in science. In HaSS, we have chosen a significant place in Australia (Daintree Rainforest/Great Barrier Reef/ Kakadu) to research.  

Year 3 

WOW. What an exciting time of year! We are close to the end but still are powering through work. At this stage, we are tidying up work around editing and redrafting poems for English and in Maths, have wrapped up fractions and multiplication. In Science, many classes are working on their final investigation into ‘How things change when heated’ while in HaSS, students have planned amazing ideas for health and wellbeing programs and activities around the school. 

Year 4 

We have been busy finalising our persuasive tasks and editing our work. We are applying our knowledge of forces to everyday events and explaining our understanding of how they interact. For drama, we are looking at how we can use our bodies and voices to create a character or a role. In HaSS, we are constructing an action plan to help tackle an environmental problem. We are very dedicated to saving our Earth.  

Year 5 

Year 5 had a wonderful time on camp. We climbed higher than a skyscraper, we crawled like wombats through deep, dark caves and surfed the waves like dolphins. Many of us tried many new things and surprised ourselves at our amazing achievements. The teachers thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the students away from the classroom and seeing them thrive. We are now back in the classroom working extremely hard. We are writing comparative essays in English, problem solving in Maths and exploring the viscosity of liquids in Science. 

Year 6 

Year 6 are on to the final stretch of their primary school journey. We have been identifying different perspectives in historical sources and explaining how the rights of different groups have changed over time. In Science, we have been observing the way plants may be affected by environmental factors such as acids, salinity, light, temperature and other variables.
