STEM/Inquiry

Science/STEM

We are very excited to introduce our STEM as a weekly specialist class for this year. Year 5 and 6 students will have their weekly STEM session in the Science Room, taught by Mrs. Pierce.

STEM involves the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths. 

As a part of this weekly session, students will be looking at Biological Science by exploring Desert Survivors.

This unit provides opportunities for children to develop an understanding of how any form of life could survive in extreme temperatures and dryness of a desert environment. 

Inquiry into Health Term 1

We will continue to reinforce the Positive Start program with a unit of study based on the development of key concepts for each cohort.

This Term, our Enduring Understand for our Health unit is "We all have a responsibility for our own and others' health, safety and wellbeing within our community". We will be looking at the ideas of 

• Navigating social media and online platforms safely
• Help seeking and supporting others
• Healthy and supportive relationships
• Changes within my body (Sex Education Australia incursion sessions)

There will be a parent information session for our Sex Education Australia (SEA)  on Thursday 7 March at 5:00pm. More information will be sent out on Compass closer to these sessions.
