Year 2 Cooking

Here are some photos of the Year 2s making Dr Seuss’ ‘Cat in the Hat’ pizzas and fruit hats today. They were certainly a fun and bright activity, and a good way of combining the Musical and Kitchen Garden.

STEM 

The JS students love learning about the STEM program at Huntingtower and spending time at the STEM sustainability centre and garden - they especially like getting to play with the chickens and even collecting eggs!

Carp Performance

The Foundation and Year 1 class had lots of fun last Friday thanks to a special performance from the Carp Production! The interactive show was all about "Happy Being Me" and the kids had a blast!

Year 5 - Science

Year 5 students have been eagerly watering their plants each morning and hoping that they will grow through the maze they have created. Boxes are sealed up with a small hole at the top where they sunlight can get through. We look forward to seeing the plants sprout and make their way through the maze in the coming weeks.
