Prep 100 Days of School

Today our Preps celebrated 100 Days of School. The atmosphere was full of joy and energy as the children excitedly entered their classrooms in colourful T-shirts decorated with 100 'things'. The children engaged in various activities that celebrated the BIG100.

Thank you to our wonderful Prep teachers and support staff (Miss Wirth, Miss Bilney and Mrs Toomey) and to all the others who helped set up the day.

Thank you to all the parents who helped with the different activities throughout the morning. It was lots of fun!  

Year 2 Taskworks Incursion

As part of the Inquiry Unit, 'A Toy Robot', the Year 2 students have been learning about the way objects move depending on a variety of factors including their size and shape. Last Friday they participated in an incursion (facilitated by Taskworks) to investigate how a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape. Later in the term, they will 

apply the principles of a design brief to draw and create a moveable three-dimensional robot. 

Below are some reflections about the Taskworks incursion.

I enjoyed learning about friction and forces like that. I learned that friction is in everything.

I enjoyed the hammer smash because I got 2 wins. I learned that magnets are basically in any machine.
