Foundation
Ms Melanie & Ms Georgia
What an incredible Term 3 we have had in Foundation! The children have continued to grow, learn and develop so much throughout the term, and we are incredibly proud of all they have achieved. We wish you all a safe and happy holidays and we can't wait to see you back for the last term of the year!
Foundation students explored 'doubling' in Maths through engaging, interactive activities. Using gingerbread twins, ladybug wings, and iPads, they visually represented identical quantities on each side. Partner work helped them recall these double facts, reinforcing key strategies for mathematical fluency.
During Book Week, classroom rotations gave Junior School students the opportunity to explore a variety of CBCA-nominated storybooks. Responsive activities followed, with Foundation students creating "Potato Pets" based on The Potato People. After writing simple sentences to describe their pets, the students introduced them to their classmates.
We had a fabulous day last Friday at our book parade! We are so proud of our foundation students getting on the stage and showing off their amazing costumes! Thank you to all of our Grandparents and family/friends who made the morning special by joining us for a book and short activity!
In Inquiry, Foundation students investigated the properties of wood and aluminium foil, predicting and testing whether each material would sink or float. After exploring various foil boat designs, they considered shape, size, and materials to design and build their own boats to "float their goat."
Kind Regards,
Miss Melanie & Miss Georgia
