Term One Highlights 

Prep

The Preps have enjoyed establishing their concepts of number and shape this term. They have engaged in exciting outdoor learning lessons that aim to show math in the real world through hands-on activities. We are looking forward to their continual development in Term 2!

                                                                                                           Ms Kahu, Ms James and Mrs Chue

Year 1W

We had a very special Harmony Day in 1W. We did lots of activities that had us work together including our Harmony Day Height Chart in Maths and our GIANT colouring in for the afternoon, where each child coloured in a page and then we put it altogether on the window. Check out the picture of our awesome work!!

In our Maths lessons, we have started looking at measurement and one of our introduction activities was to cut, colour and order the crocodiles from LONGEST to SHORTEST. Some of the children also took the crocodiles home – so don’t be alarmed if tiny paper crocodiles show up in your house .

Have a great holidays and see you next term.

Year 2C

To end our unit on 3D Shape students made 3D shapes with jubes and skewers. Everyone had fun, especially eating their jubes when they were finished.

Year 2D

For today's math lesson, the students did some outdoor learning - they created fractions by using sticks, rocks, barks and leaves, and used chalk to indicate what fraction they had made. We are currently learning about halves, quarters and eighths fractions.

                                                                                                                                          Miss Del Rosario

The term one highlight for 3N is that we published our best stories so we can share them and in Art we made our profile using collage.

Hindi

Namaste Wyndham Christian College parivaar (family).

This term, Year 1-7 have been focusing on learning the Devanagri alphabet. This has culminated in creating beautiful Indian Easter cards. Here is a snapshot of some of the the Year 1/2 cards. We are so proud that students have hand written these in the Devanagri script! Keep it up, children!

Our Preps have been learning new Hindi words through Fairy Tales and songs. Their favourite book this term was 'Cinderella' with an Indian twist! As I read these stories for students, I substitute some English words with Hindi words. We then write these on the board and explore them further. This assists them in remembering these Hindi words by making connections. Stay tuned for more news next time. Have a blessed holiday!

                                                                                                                                                       Ms Massey

Humanities

This term highlight for Humanities, in the unit Factors that change environments, Year 5 students were learning about the extent of change in an environment over time and how to evaluate the positive and negative effects. After researching on a biome of their choice, the students had to mentally build a settlement and take note of the changes they were making to their biome during the building process. These changes then had to be visually presented on a map.

                                                                                                                                                   Mrs Gwamba

Sports 

In sports this week students learned about speed and agility with some running games. We also got creative with the sports equipment and created some air hockey games. 

                                                                                                                                                      Mr De Sosa 

Music

This term in Music, we have had a wonderful time exploring rhythm and beat. Year Prep  to 2 have been experimenting with creating rhythms while 3 to 6 have been writing and performing their own rhythmic compositions.

Year 7 finished the term with by presenting to the class fantastic instruments that each student created. 

                                                                                                                                     Mrs Kristy Cochrane
