Good starters

Over the past couple of weeks, our Good Start group have had some very fun hands on activities facilitated by our multi-cultural health educator, Jo.

Our senior students served our younger students a range of ingredients for an after-school sandwich from all the different food groups and we also worked together in teams to build a boat out of different materials. The boat signifies our strong bodies and the materials we build with signify what we eat. We need to build a strong boat to be strong enough to float and we need to eat healthy foods to create a strong body.

Our Good Start group is growing by the week. If you would like to join us in Term 2, please email Ms Waide for a permission form.

Learning to fly

1N and 1D noticed that paper air planes were a bit of a sensation in the classroom. To incorporate the children’s interests in their learning, we did a paper air plane workshop, followed by a mathematics competition. The length of the air plane flight determined the numbers the children were to add up. Using chalk, the children worked together to add up the numbers to then unlock more air plane flights.

It was great to see the collaboration and mathematics skills of all 1N and 1D students.

Being a buddy

Our school uses buddy class arrangements to assist the younger students with their learning and the older students with opportunities to demonstrate their compassion, patience and leadership.  Thank you to the teachers who operate these really valuable programs as the experiences for students are wonderful.

Nine proud selfies

2B completed a retell about their favourite day at the beach. Nine students were extra proud of their work and wanted to share a selfie moment.
