Young Ranger Program

Tuesday was the last day at school of the Young Ranger Program.

As part of the program, students received a kangaroo or a possum skin, on which to do their own art designs.  On Tuesday 26 November and the following two weeks the students will complete the Young Ranger Program on Country, Nyambinya Kyuna.

Year 5/6 Science

Last week students in Years 5/6 visited the science lab to experiment with chemical reactions. They watched the reaction between water and an Aspro Clear tablet blowing up a balloon and made slime using different ingredients. They then tested who had the stretchiest slime. 

Elective PE - Golf

On Friday 15 November, Mrs Hobbs and her Middle School Elective PE class went to the Uralla Golf Club to hit golf balls. Leading up to the day, the class has been practising at school with golf clubs and tennis balls.

The class with putting around the green. We then went and hit buckets of golf balls down the first fairway. Students focused on keeping their head still and their body balanced. The group came back to the practice green for chipping practise. Brand new golf balls were given to the student who was able to get the closest to where Bruce was standing.

Finally, we went back to the fairway to ‘Flog’, (golf backwards), to hit golf balls down the fairway.

A big thank you to Bruce McMullen for taking the time to show students how to hit a golf ball, get students to think about setting up and how far away from the ball they need to be.

The students enjoyed the time at the Golf Club, and they can all hit a golf ball, some students surprised themselves they could hit it off the ground and straight.

Lucky students who won a new golf ball for their chipping accuracy were John and Liam.
