Prep 

We are learning about our new friends Poppy Princess, Iggy Insect, Fifi Flamingo and Rosie Rabbit in InitaLit. We are enjoying working on our physical goals this term, we are all doing such a great job learning a new skill. We are reading the text ‘Granny Gromet and Me’, we love learning about rockpools. 

Year 1 

Year 1 had so much fun during the “My Patch” incursion on Tuesday and Wednesday last week. It was wonderful to be able to explore our school’s habitats. We were amazed at how many plants and animals call our school their home. This week we are demonstrating our learning by independently completing an Information Report on a Koala or Crocodile or Snake. In Maths we are exploring Australian coins and their values. 

Year 2 

Year 2 are busy finishing off our assessments. We’ve been writing some amazing Imaginative texts, full of interesting adjectives and details. In Mathematics, we’ve been learning how addition and subtraction work together and how to add numbers efficiently. Science has been all about waterproofing our creations to keep objects, or ourselves, dry.  

Year 3 

In Year 3 we are finishing off our assessments. We will be writing a persuasive text about being a principal and making 3 changes to Craigslea State School. I wonder how convincing we can be! In Mathematics, we are having fun exploring chance and data. But most of all, we are so excited for our excursion to SparkLab next week! 

Year 3/4 

We are finalising our assessments. We will be performing our poem to the class and sharing our PowerPoints from HaSS. In Mathematics, we will start looking at simple and unit fractions and playing some games with these concepts. Mrs D will be in Melbourne on her long service leave for the last week of this term.  

Year 4 

4M and the Year 4s had an exciting day of learning in nature at the Bunyaville Environmental Education Centre on Wednesday. The engaging activities were the culmination of the Science and HASS units to do with erosion, Earth’s surface and environmental influences. 4W and 4S students who have made payment and completed the consent forms have the same opportunity next week. In English students have been busy finalising their poetry assessment by creating and comprehending poetic texts.  

Year 5 

Year 5 are having a fun time collecting real world data about our school in our Mathematics unit. In English, we are in the process of writing our final drafts with sizzling starts, complications and endings with impact! In HASS, we are looking forward to sharing our digital presentations with our class about different European countries.  

Year 5/6 

In 5/6W, students have begun working on their Andy Griffiths inspired narratives – we also just finished writing our own as a class! It’s hilarious. In Science, our Year 6’s have started looking at different energy transformations and how electricity can be generated in different ways. 

Year 6 

In Year 6, students have started their Technologies unit and begun looking at how the different components of networks all fit together. Students have looked at peripheral devices, internal and external components and data storage methods.
