Visual Arts

In Visual Arts, Foundation students made bookmarks for book week. Year 1/2 students continued and completed their ‘Mini Chick Treehouse.’ Year 3/4 students continues their inspired ‘Steampunk Robots’ by making sure they are stable and secure before they start to paint them. Year 5/6 students continued sculpted their 3D Keith Haring characters, by using Modroc. This week, while 4 to 6 students were on camp, all students were able to play, experiment and explore with air dried clay. Foundation students made turtles, year 1/2 students made pinch pots with lids and year 3 and non-campers were able to choose between a pinch pot with legs or a fairy door. All students had a wonderful time creating their air dried clay piece. All students were also able to make and create Father’s Day / Special Person’s day craft.

Culture Studies

Last week in Culture Studies, students learnt about the Turkish cuisine. To inspire the students, they had the opportunity to look and discuss at all the photos of the beautiful Turkish foods that Miss Simos ate while she travelled around Türkiye. Students were then able to taste the experience of some Turkish foods, Pride Turkish bread, Hummus Dip and Traditional Turkish delight. It was wonderful to see students having a go and enjoying the foods. Some students wanted to ask their parents to buy these foods, which was wonderful to hear. We also discussed the superstition of the evil eye; students were able to answer a quick quiz on all the things that they have learnt about Türkiye. This allowed them to be able to paste the Turkish stamp in their passport. I would also like to thank wonderful Zehra, for sharing her Türkiye artefacts and knowledge with me and the students and for organising and getting the Turkish food for the students. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊

Library Update

Book Week was a huge success.

Every recess, library leaders read picture story books in the library for other students to listen to. Thank you so much to everyone who helped with this, and who came along to enjoy.

We also all had so much fun at the Dress Up day last Thursday. There were some amazing costumes and characters, and it was amazing how everybody embraced the day.
