Classroom Learning
3B
Even though 3B have been busy finishing important assessment tasks for English, Maths and HASS, we have still been enjoying ourselves. We've been practicing leadership games with Chappy as well as attending 'Healthy Harold' recently. As you can see from the picture, we had a heap of fun learning new things and playing games in Harold's Life Education van.
1/2B
1/2B have been studying the properties of materials in Science. We had to select a material and then change it for a particular purpose. At first we had to test different materials to see which ones would be suitable to make our object. Year Ones had to make a boat that floated and could hold 2 marbles. Year Twos had to choose 2 materials to make a lunchbox that could hold an orange and a sandwich and be wiped out with a wet sponge. We needed to make sure we used materials that were waterproof.
5B
This week 5B have been completing a book study project about Storm Boy, an Australian classic about a wild child from South Australia who adopts a wild pelican. Through this text the students have been grappling with complex ideas such as justice, environmentalism and illegal hunting. They have each been independently creating a book project that they will present to the class in a class discussion.
6B
Students have been hard at work in Art and Technology this term in order to create their Stop Motion Animation project. Students have been working in groups to create their backdrops and characters, and use these to take many many photos, and piece them all together with special effects to create a working animation using a software program on the iPads. A special viewing will be organised at the end of the term to showcase students efforts.
