Prep 

We have had a blast in prep, having participated in our junior swimming carnival and recent Christmas concert. We have all had a great year in prep! Weve been reflecting on how far we have grown this year. We have wowed ourselves with our impressive progress. Can you believe what your child can do now!?  

Year 1 

As we come to the end of the term we have been keeping busy revising concepts we have learnt throughout the year. Year 1 has been reflecting on all of the amazing experiences we have had this year and the friendships we have built. We have been having conversations about all things Year 2 and we are super excited for our step up day next week! 

Year 2 

Having fun but keeping busy applying our learning to new and exciting activities. As the end of the year approaches, we are enjoying the last few days with our classmates and teachers. Looking forward to meeting our new classmates and teachers for next year, on Monday. Year 2 has been a blast! 

Year 3 

Year 3 students have been revisiting concepts we have looked at throughout the year. We enjoyed spending time with our classmates at the swimming carnivals on Monday and Tuesday and we have started looking at Christmas art and craft. We’re excited to meet our Year 4 teacher and classmates on Monday morning!  

Year 3/4 

We are revising all the concepts for the year while still having a little bit of fun. Stem projects, sustainability art display, Naplan revision, swimming carnivals...we are keeping ourselves very busy. 

Year 4 

Year 4 enjoyed the warm weather at the Swimming Carnival on Monday. We have been learning about lots of different graphs in Mathematics and revising our reading and writing skills in English. Students have also engaged with other fun activities like STEM challenges with paper, Hour of Code and making woven fish using Torres Strait Islander techniques.  

Year 5 

We have been reading the story of “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” so we can compare it to the movie adaptation when we watch it in the final week of school. We have been completing lots of STEM challenges and have enjoyed learning about famous people who originally were unsuccessful in their chosen field and rose above to become a huge a success. We are learning that “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm,” - Winston Churchill.  

Year 5/6 

As students in 5/6J and 5/6W finish the year, we are still just as busy as ever. We have been putting the final touches on our annotated advertisements, researching health messages in the media and completing our HASS research. In addition to this, we have also been revising language conventions, such as hyphens, commas and semi colons, and reviewing adding and subtracting fractions. 

Year 6 

Students in Year 6 have been revising key concepts taught throughout the year such as fractions, multiplication and division and applying these to multi-step problems. Thankfully, as the year winds down, we have also had time to complete some fun activities too. We are thankful for Mrs Meiklejohn who has organised a scavenger hunt and an escape room!
