9/10 C

Term 2 has been a very busy term for Secondary 9/10C as we explored our discovery topic of Health through exciting excursions and incursions. Students have enjoyed the journey to different experiences, learning valuable skills and developing independence with each experience.

These enriching activities have been a part of the health and wellbeing focus for our Discovery Unit. Some highlights have been buying fruit and veggies from Coburg Market to create a healthy tasting board with all the colours of the rainbow, making delicious rice paper rolls and the excursion to Bundoora Park Farm to explore how animals help with our well-being. The class has enjoyed reflecting and writing about these experiences each week.

In numeracy sessions, Secondary 9/10C has been building addition and subtraction skills, and in recent weeks, students have been expanding their multiplication skills.

Students have been having a great time at their elective sessions each week as well as during their respective Fit for Life and STEAM groups, as well as representing the school in other areas such as the school band and Koorie Club.

What’s up next??? I won’t ruin the surprise, so buckle yourself in for term 3...

Term 2 has been packed with experiences for Secondary 9/10F. These enriching activities have been a part of the health and wellbeing focus for our Discovery Unit. Some highlights have been making healthy pizzas on a budget with just a few classic ingredients, buying fruit and veggies from Sculli Bros in Greensborough Plaza to create a healthy tasting board with all the colours of the rainbow and a Fun Fit Yoga session.

We enjoyed the nature walk that provided an opportunity for some well-earned peace and quiet while we tried out forest bathing at Gresswell Forest. We also went to Bundoora farm and explored how animals help with our well-being.

The class has enjoyed reflecting and writing about these experiences each week as well as preparing and presenting a slideshow all about health and wellbeing.

More recently, they’ve begun exploring the art of creative writing in Literacy sessions.

In numeracy sessions Secondary 9/10F has been building addition and subtraction skills, and some students have been expanding their multiplication and division skills.

9/10G

What a fantastic Term 2 !

In Discovery Literacy, we’ve been learning how to stay healthy—physically, emotionally, and socially. We've had some amazing experiences to support this, Fun Fit Yoga session, forest bathing at Gresswell Forest, animal therapy at Bundoora Farm, making rice paper rolls in the Discovery Center, and visiting Sculli Brothers in Greensborough Plaza and Coburg Market.

We have made great progress with vertical addition and subtraction, and have begun exploring multiplication and division.

Our Sounds-Write sessions have been a valuable part of our learning experience and we continue to build strong phonics skills through letter sounds, segmenting, and blending.

It’s been an incredible journey so far, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings.

Mason: “I loved going to Coburg Market because I got an HSP and a drink.”

Franky: “I like doing Maths, I get to think and solve problems.”

Matthew: “I love music and I look forward to band practice.”

Jett: “I like doing addition and subtraction in Maths and going on movement breaks.”

Fabian: “I love playing Footy with my friends.”

Gabes:“I like playing sports and I love all the excursions.”

9/10H

Wow, this term has just flown by! The highlights have been our regular experience days which have been aimed at exploring our ‘One Body for Life’ unit. We’ve been to Greensborough Plaza to explore new fruits and vegetables, we’ve been to Gresswell Forest for nature bathing, we’ve spent an afternoon in the kitchen making healthy snacks and even got handy with a hammer and nails to make our own rainmakers!

Lucy and I have been so impressed by the way our class has had a true ‘have a go’ attitude this term. It’s allowed us to explore and experience new things that we have never tried before.

Hoping that you all have a safe and happy holidays, and we can’t wait to see you all back here in Term 3!

Elise and Lucy
