Prep/1M Experiment - Measuring Mass
The Prep/1M students have enjoyed measuring mass. They have weighed toys, blocks, pencils, books and sharpeners to see what is the heaviest item. Then they have compared items to see which ones weigh the same and used different types of scales to measure. They cannot wait to measure capacity! There is a lot of mathematical excitement in the room.

Grades 4- 6 Excursion - CERES
On Tuesday the 14th of November the grade 4 to 6 students visited CERES (Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies). We participated in activities in which we learned about sustainability, food packaging and the environment, gardening, and different types of soils. Some of our favourite parts were going for walks around the reserve, learning about where different foods and packaging come from, and getting to eat mulberries straight off the tree! It was a very hot day but we had a great time!
