Cranbourne Botanic Gardens Excursion

Last Wedesday we visited Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne and took part in a special learning program about Aboriginal culture, art, music and storytelling. The program was based on the story On the Edge of Creation by Baluk Arts. Students learned about the Boonwurrung people and listened to a Dreamtime story about the creation of Port Phillip Bay. We learned about Bunjil, got to see fossils, possum skin and a spear, created ochre handprints and joined in singing and using clapping sticks. It was a very fun day out.

Grade 1 - Literacy

This week and last we have been learning the au/aw (sauce, thaw) and oi/oy (boil/toy) digraphs. The children have been working hard on their reading fluency and learning their sounds. During writing the children have been writing an information report all about Crocodiles. Ask your child if they can tell you a fun fact that they have learnt about crocodiles.

Grade 2 - Maths

We have finished off our unit on Fractions and started our unit on Data. The grade 2's have really enjoyed the range of hands on activities over the last few weeks.

Barry and Frank

Barry spent the weekend with Luna, where he had a lot of fun celebrating her birthday. He enjoyed dinner at the RSL and watching Luna play basketball. Next stop for Barry was Isla's house. He loved meeting Isla's family and getting to have an early sneak peak at some epic Christmas lights and watch a movie.

Frank spent the weekend with Aurelia where he went to Gumbuya world and ate some pizza. He also got to go to Bunnings and choose a fairy house to go in the garden. Frank then visited Amy's house where he was spoiled with eating hot chips, nuggets and calamari. He loved playing with Amy and seeing the Fish and Chip shop.
