Ancient Greece and Greek Mythology

Our Term 4 learning has taken us back in time to Ancient Greece, where the students have been knee-deep in Greek gods, mythical creatures and legendary adventures! From Zeus and Poseidon to the fearsome Minotaur, we have been exploring the fascinating stories, characters and beliefs of Ancient Greek mythology. The students have enjoyed discovering the challenges faced by these legendary characters, and we are now looking forward to putting our imaginations to work by creating our very own Greek myths. We will be developing our storytelling skills as we invent original characters, magical settings and exciting adventures, hopefully with a few twists and turns along the way!

Maths – Building Fluency and Exploring 3D Objects

In Maths, we are continuing to strengthen our multiplication fluency, building speed, accuracy and confidence when recalling our times tables. Regular practice is helping us develop the skills needed to tackle more complex mathematical problems. We are also exploring three-dimensional objects, investigating their features and learning to identify and describe the different shapes we encounter in the world around us. There will be plenty of opportunities to look closely, compare objects and put our mathematical vocabulary to good use.

A Special Visit to the Ian Potter Theatre

We were very fortunate to attend the exciting reopening of the Ian Potter Theatre for the performance of Housewarming. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to experience live theatre and be part of such a special occasion. A particular highlight was when Mikayla discovered a plaque on the back of a theatre seat dedicated to one of her own family members! What an incredible personal connection to uncover during our visit, making an already memorable excursion even more special.

Getting Ready to Celebrate 150 Years!

Excitement is building as we look ahead to our school's 150th anniversary celebrations in just a few weeks! The students have been putting on their detective hats as they investigate the architecture of our school, looking closely for clues that help tell the story of its past. We have also been busy preparing thoughtful questions for someone who attended our school many years ago. We are looking forward to hearing their memories and comparing school life then and now. It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our school's rich history and the important place it holds in our community.
