Specialist Classes

The Arts - Mrs Anstis 

Have you seen the rainbow in the window of the Art Room? This collage was created by students across all year levels last term. It has been wonderful to hear students pointing out the images they added to the rainbow and discover other surprises hidden amongst the colours. 

Prep - Grade 2 students have been practicing their weaving skills, creating colourful rainbows using yarn. 

During Music lessons students have begun to learn the difference between the 'beat' and 'rhythm' by using their body as a percussion instrument and singing to their favourite songs.

In Media Arts students from Grade 3 - 6 have been learning computer short cuts in preparation for their stop motion project. This fortnight they have experimented with range of animation principles to create smooth movment in flip books.  

Physical Education - Miss Atherton

This term, our Prep-Grade 4 classes have been working on their Jump Rope skills! So far we have learned and practiced single jump, double jump, backwards, hop, side straddle, front straddle, cross straddle, and some partner tricks. Each week, everyone has the opportunity to attempt the endurance clubs by continuously jumping for 30 seconds, 1 minute, 1 minute 30 second, or even 2 minutes! 

Prep-2 have also started their PMP, held on fortnightly Friday's. PMP helps children build balance, coordination, strength, confidence, and fundamental movement skills through a range of fun, engaging stations. We would love for parents and carers to come along and join in! Your support encourages your child, helps build their confidence, and makes the sessions even more fun and rewarding for everyone. Our next PMP lesson is this Friday, 7th August:

9am-10am 1/2M

10am-11am 1/2S

11:30am-12:30pm P/1G

12:30pm-1:30pm P/1 T

Grade 5/6's have started Term 3 with pre-season training in their Volleyball SEPEP unit. We have learned and practised how to correctly set, dig, spike, block and overarm serve. Next week we will begin playing full games of Volleyball, earning positions on our Volleyball ladder in the hall, whilst continueing to practise our skills and strategies!
