Classroom Spotlight
Foundation
Students have been exploring early measurement concepts by using scales to compare and understand weight. They also continued reading Parrot and building their knowledge about caring for the environment and the ways individuals can help protect the Earth!
Junior School
Students studied human cells and the digestive system, developing their ability to explain scientific processes. In writing, they practised constructing paragraphs using FANBOYS and adding clear supporting details. In mathematics, students explored questioning and data collection, and will create their own digital graphs on Friday.
Middle School
Learners extended their investigation into human body systems, focusing on the functions of key organs including the skin, heart, lungs, and kidneys. They also examined the skeletal system and nutrients such as calcium. As part of their literacy work, students wrote persuasive paragraphs arguing which layer of the human body is most essential for maintaining health.
In numeracy, we are continuing to learn Multiplication and Division strategies
Senior School
Senior students continued to draw on their critical thinking skills by analysing real-world advertisements. They identified persuasive techniques and discussed how these methods influence audiences and shape decision-making.
Junior Science
This term Foundation students have been learning about the weather and seasons. Today students learned about shade - how it is created, why it is important and where to find it in our school during Summer. Students created incredible posters to display around the school to keep everyone safe on hot days like.
Senior School Science
Senior students have been investigating the Solar System this term. Each student selected a specific aspect of the solar system and began creating either a diorama, papier mache model, or poster to represent their chosen focus. They also completed a structured fact file to support their research and presentation.
Work is well underway!
Completed projects will be displayed around the school. Keep an eye out for their impressive results!
Visual Art
Students created imaginative name monsters using mixed-media techniques. They began by folding and cutting their name from A3 paper, then mounted it on a background and added detail using line-work and smudged oil pastels. Some students extended their designs with 3D elements using folded coloured paper.
Finished artworks will be shared in class and displayed. A student who demonstrates our school values will receive two tokens.
