Inquiry Centre

Highlight 

What a busy week we have had in the inquiry centre!

1/ 2 E did a fantastic job presenting at the Assembly on Monday. We are very proud of them!

In Maths we have been exploring measurement with a focus on Mass. Students have explored weighing and comparing classroom objects using hefting, balance scales and digital scales. These action filled lessons were so much fun learning words such as, lighter, heavier, equal, grams and kilograms.

In Writing students have been working on their animal information report, labelling a diagram of their animal, and writing their descriptive paragraphs on their chosen animals looks, diet, habit and interesting facts.

Reading has been so much fun too! On Wednesday we had an emergency evacuation drill where the whole school met out on the oval.

The Grade 1/ 2 classes displayed excellent listening skills and followed instructions from their classroom teacher. We hope you had a fantastic week! 

Thanks to all our wonderful families for your continued support!
