Year 3/4 News

Wominjeka! Welcome!

What an exciting few weeks we've had as a year level! Here are just a few snapshots of what we have gotten up to in the last few weeks...

Camp Dewar

On Monday 8th August, 69 Yr 3/4 students, 8 teachers & 6 parent helpers headed to Camp Dewar, an adventure camp located near the Werribee Gorge.

Students had the opportunity to experience new adventures and activities. Students were placed into activity groups and rotated through six activities -

Dual Flying Fox

Archery

Campfire Cooking

Kick Biking

Geo-Caching (teams use GPS devices to find hidden 'caches' around the camp)

Adventure Tunnelling

Students also roasted marshmallows on the campfire and enjoyed singing along to the camp song, 'A Roosta Sha'.

Both students and teachers enjoyed their camp experience and agreed that it was the BEST camp yet!

Here are some of their camp reflections -
