Visual Arts

Our students have been very excited to create some special christmas art. Here are some gorgeous decorated baubles from 1A and 1B ready to be hung on their trees. I love how everyone created with their own ideas and that each one is individually made with care and thought.

Smocks have all come home now and will need a wash, and be brought back day 1 of 2026.

And don't forget to save the date for our Community Art Fair- Friday March 27th 4:30 to 7:30

We hope all our families have a very safe and creative holiday and we look forward to more wonderful art in 2026.

Love Art!

Mandarin

Dear families,

It has been a wonderful year learning Mandarin with our students. I am so proud of their progress, curiosity and enthusiasm. Watching them grow in confidence and language skills has been a true joy.

Thank you for your support throughout this year. I wish everyone a safe, happy and relaxing summer break.

Warm regards,

Miss. Cheung

Physical Education

Level F- 2

In PE this term, our F–2 students have been working on their passing and catching skills through netball activities. When practising chest passes, we’ve been using the cues “step, push, zombie hands” to help students remember how to set up and follow through. For catching, we’ve been talking about using “butterfly hands” to make a good target and bring the ball in safely. The students have really enjoyed the games and are becoming more confident each week

Level 3 & 4

In Levels 3 and 4, students have continued their work on territory and invasion games, shifting their focus to netball to practise these skills. We’ve had lots of discussions about the teamwork and inclusion needed in netball, as well as how the game differs from basketball. Students have been developing their attacking, defending and shooting skills, and they’re looking forward to putting it all together in small-sided games over the next few weeks.

Level 5 and 6

In Levels 5 and 6, students have been putting their game sense strategies into action while playing modified soccer. It’s been great to see how well they’re working together, encouraging each other and showing genuine sportsmanship. The students are really starting to think about how to use space, support their teammates and make smart decisions during the game.

Science

Foundation

Our Foundation students have continued to look at the impact that litter makes in the sea. All of the ocean walls have now been 'saved' by the students cleaning up.

All classes have now had the pleasure of learning about the ocean with our Level 6 leaders and I Sea, I Care Ambassadors. They especially liked learning about decorator crabs and the way stingrays swim through the ocean.

Level 1 & 2

Last week the students learnt about brass and woodwind instruments and made their own panpipes. They experimented with the way that the length of the pipe changed the pitch of the sound.

Level 3 & 4

During Week 7 Level 3&4 learnt about pollinators and made a bee, one of the best pollinators. The bees are now pollinating the students' flower models.

Level 5 & 6

Last week the students created an Electromagnet using copper wire, a nail and a circuit. They practised magnetising paper clips and other metal objects.

Whole School Focus Week 8

This week the entire school has been focussed resources. In particular, they have analysed how long everyday objects take to decompose and our use of single use plastic water bottles.

Science Books

Keep a look out for your child's Science Book, which will come home during weeks 9 or 10. It will be a fantastic opportunity to share your child's science journey.
