Highlights

BEEP BEEP It's the Magic School Bus!

This week we travelled all around Australia as apart of our Guided Inquiry unit where students used their devices to research and create fact files and postcards about different landmarks. Landmarks included the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef. We also embedded Mathematics into the unit through exploring 3D nets and finding the area, perimeter and volume of our landmarks.
