🌏 CBL - Curiosity

Our Term Four Big Idea is Curiosity. Students have begun to look at space and the objects that are naturally found in space and objects that have been placed there by humans. 

 

Students will begin to make observations of the moon, and we will be encouraging students to make these observations at school and home. All students should now have their recording sheet at home and we hope you have been able to spot the moon in the night, or day, sky!

 

 

👒SUNSMART

We would like to remind you that ALL students are required to wear a broad-brimmed hat when outdoors from the 1st September, when UV levels are typically higher. Please ensure your child brings a hat to school every day to protect them from the sun's harmful rays.
