Congratulations to our Auslan Choir (Tulsi, India, Allan, Annie, Stella, Aaima, Tess, Tori, Hadisa and Nicolas)  who did a stellar performance at the Primary School Festival of Music on Tuesday night. Our choir performed the Australian national anthem at the Festival Theatre in front of a 2000 strong audience. We are so proud of our choir.

What a fabulous day we had for our Sports Day. Congratulations to  the Red (Steve's) team for winning first place. Thank you to all our families that came along to support, join in with some fun and help serve the sausage sizzle. We look forward to doing it all again next year!

The Colour Fun Run was a great success and  the students and staff really had fun being splattered in paint and slime! Thank you to all the students and their families who fundraised for our school, you raised a massive $7063. This money will now go toward the purchase of an outdoor refrigerated drinking fountain for the students.

A great night was had by all at our annual Year 2/3 transition night, 'The Big Night In'. Students participated in team challenges, ate pizza for dinner and toasted marshmallows all while getting to know each other ready for the move from Junior Primary to Primary. As always a lot of fun was had by all!

This term in coding club we have been making flappy parrot which is like flappy bird.  Its lots of fun and we do it every Monday at lunch.  We like making the codes to make the animals and objects do things and we also like making costumes for the animals. Stella (P1)

Coding Club meets every Monday at first break.

In week 6 our Environment Club did a fundraiser called Springfest where we made and sold pancakes. We raised $200 which we will spend on seeds and native plants for the indigenous garden. Thank you to all the students who supported this event buy purchasing a pancake or two! Runah (P2)

Environment Club takes place on Thursdays at second break. 

In P1, we have been busy working our way through the term, with many fun distractions along the way. Everyone had a great time at the Sports Day, and lots of connections (and reconnections) were made during the Big Night In, when the Year Two’s joined the Year Threes in a fun night of activities, pizza, marshmallows and a fire pit.

We have even managed to get some learning done this term as well, with our guided reading, spelling and typing lessons coming along nicely. We have also been working through how to write persuasive texts this term. One of our favourite moments of the week comes just after lunch on a Monday, when the juniors drop into our shared space and we enjoy a few laughs with our buddy reading. Good times! Our inquiry questions are coming along nicely, with everyone looking forward to Learning Expo next week.

In P2 we have completed our unit on data and statistics and are now moving onto angles. We have identified what we know about angles (acute, right and obtuse) and how to use protractors to measure and compare angles using degrees.

 Raghuveer

You can measure angles using protractors. We have explored angles in our school environment.

 Aaron

Angles can be confusing if you are not sure how to measure them correctly.

 Niamat

An obtuse angle is bigger than a right angle. An acute angle is smaller than a right angle. A right angle is 90 degrees.

 Marley

I know that an acute angle is an angle less than 90 degrees.

 Runah

A straight line is exactly 180 degrees

In J1 we have been learning to subtract smaller numbers from bigger numbers. We have been using numerals, cards, white boards, and dice to help us. In inquiry, we have been exploring desert and wetland habitats, and have been looking into what animals need to survive in these habitats.

Juniors

Junior students have been creating artworks using their own paint brushes made from plants. Inspired by John Wolseley, they used their brushes to depict the local habitat. They had fun exploring how different items produced different textures.

Primary

Primary students have been creating lino-prints which each display different aspects of our school habitat; including flora, fauna and environmental features. They have been learning  the technical processes of transferring images, carving the lino, inking their plates and using a printing press.

“In P.E. we learned tennis and we learned overarm, underarm, and how to properly hit a tennis ball. In health we were learning about healthy things and healthy advertisements. We were also learning about what advertisements are fake and which ones are real. WE ALL REALLY ENJOYED OUR LESSONS WITH EMMA AND LEIGH!” Aaima (P1)
