FOUNDATION CLASS - Miss Sortino

Wow! What a busy time the Frogs have had since returning from Remote Learning. We look forward to BluEarth every week but we especially enjoy the week we have Jimmy our instructor because we LOVE learning new games and skills. This fortnight we learnt snow ball tiggy, wallabies and kangaroos and bombardment. Boy, did we have FUN! 🎾

We also enjoyed spending time with our senior buddies. This fortnight we decided to do an art activity outside, whilst the weather was nice. We created different images using leaves from our school yard – we turned our leaves into pictures of butterflies, echidnas, people and lots more! 🍁🍃🍂

Year 1/2 - Mrs Schwab

The Quokka’s have been learning about how to work collaboratively. We have introduced task cards for group work. First we investigated the roles required to work as a team. We role played to introduce these into our day and then began practicing during our day. We sure are learning how to negotiate, share and accept the responsibilities. Here is a picture of us working in our teams while sequencing our story.

Something made from different materials
Something that changes with the weather, seasons or time of day
Something sustainable
Something that pushes, pulls or rolls.
A source of light or sound

Year 3 - Mrs Bennett

Wow! Where has the term gone. We have been so glad to be back together last week and we have been working hard catching up. The children have been working so hard learning their

multiplication facts and are making great progress. One of our favourite games is Multiplication War.

Last week we finally got the chance to borrow some books from the library. The children have been encouraged to choose books that are at their level but will provide a bit of a challenge. They have really enjoyed being able to read a book of their choice.

Just chillin’ out after lunch with a good book.

Digital Technology/ STEM- Mrs McKiernan

It was a big week for STEM in the Senior area this week, with the Seniors completing the sphero chariot challenge.

With 100% success rate, there was much excitement across each of the rooms, as all chariots were able to navigate the required 2m distance without falling apart!!!

The Juniors continued to build on their coding skills completing an unplugged coding task on paper, and then were given the opportunity to program the bee bots to complete their very own paddle pop stick maze!

The students from the Rosellas Class researched different types of performances kids might be involved in and what would be needed to make their performance successful.
