Shine the Light

Foundation

The Foundation students have been reading lots of picture books by the wonderful author Pamela Allen! After we read the story The Potato People, we made our very own!

Year 1 White

Our Kindness Jar reminds us to shine God’s light through simple acts of kindness. 

Each drawing or message shows how we can share love, care, and joy with others every day. 

Year 2

The Year 2 students have been exploring fractions using colourful Lego bricks. They discovered that Lego is a fun way to show halves, quarters, thirds and wholes. Students built towers and then shared them equally to see what fractions look like. Using hands-on materials helped everyone understand that fractions are equal parts of a whole. The class loved learning maths through play and creativity!  

Year 3

In Inquiry the Year 3's have been enjoying learning about celebrations and commemorations from around the world.

Year 4 

The Year 4 Blue students have been learning how to use protractors to measure angles. They began by creating their own paper protractors and exploring angles around the playground. Students then applied their skills by measuring angles in their workbooks using real protractors.

In Year 4 White Mathematics, we have been learning about probability. There was a lot of fun during the heads and tails investigation! 

Year 5 Blue

In Year 5, we have been studying the unique and thought-provoking work of Australian author and illustrator, Shaun Tan. This fortnight we read The Rabbits, which explores the themes of colonisation and the cultural impact of invasion.

Year 6 

In Mathematics, Year 6 has been learning about transformation of shapes.  They have used their new skills to create some items for their portfolio including their initials that have been translated, rotated or reflected.  They also created a tessellation with a letter from their name.
