Foundation One

Writing – Fractured FairytalesIn Writing, students have been exploring Fractured Fairytales! They have had lots of fun changing characters, settings, and story events to create their own imaginative versions of well-known tales. It’s been wonderful to see their creativity shine as they put their own twist on classic stories.

Art – Bird MasksIn Art, students have been designing and decorating colourful bird masks. They have focused on using patterns and bright colours to make their creations stand out. The finished masks look fantastic and showcase each student’s unique artistic style!

Grade 1 & 2

Grade 1/2 have been reading Collecting Colour by Kylie Dunstan. The story follows two friends, Rose and Olive, who live in Arnhem Land and spend a day collecting natural materials used for weaving beautiful pandanus mats. Through the story, students learned about Indigenous culture, connection to Country, and the process of gathering, preparing, and dyeing pandanus leaves. As part of our literacy learning, we explored procedural writing by sequencing the steps involved in making a pandanus mat. From collecting leaves, stripping and drying them, to weaving them into colourful patterns. Inspired by the story, students created their own artworks to represent the vibrant colours of the pandanus mats in the book.
