Year 5’s Cosmic Adventure with Eclipse Chaser Terry
On Wednesday, the Year 5’s had a special guest – Asher’s grandpa – Eclipse Chaser, Terry.

The Year 5 students embarked on an extraordinary cosmic journey, guided by Terry Cuttle, an avid Eclipse Chaser. Terry's visit has illuminated our understanding of the universe, leaving an indelible mark on our young minds. From the awe-inspiring International Space Station (ISS), whose dimensions were vividly illustrated by Terry (it could comfortably fit on our school's bottom oval!), to the enchanting mysteries of the moon's craters and the intricate dance of celestial bodies, our learning has transcended the bounds of the classroom.

Throughout the sessions, Terry mesmerized us with his vast knowledge, seamlessly weaving together facts about planets, the ISS, and the mesmerizing phenomenon of eclipses. Through hands-on activities, including exploring eclipse shadows with models of the moon and Earth, scrutinizing lunar maps, and gazing through telescopes at the sky, we delved deeper into the cosmos than ever before. Terry's passion for astronomy was infectious, sparking our curiosity and igniting a newfound love for the wonders of space. As we eagerly anticipate the next opportunity to witness the ISS in the night sky, we reflect on the invaluable learning experiences and the unforgettable moments shared with our special guest, Terry.

Active School Travel

Walking Wheeling Wednesday’s

Every Wednesday will continue to be a walking, wheeling Wednesday. We encourage every family to use one or more of the five active ways to get to and from school – walk (or Park & Stride), cycle, scooter, car pool or public transport – as we work together to promote active and healthy school travel. Research shows only 41% of Australian children are active for the recommended minimum of one hour every day. Active School Travel is one of the easiest ways to incorporate physical activity into everyday life for all children. 

We have 2 more events planned for the term. Please mark these in your calendar.

How will you actively travel to school next Wednesday?

Have a fantastic fortnight of fun and learning,

Natalie
