Maths 

In maths we started with the unit of addition and are currently studying data. It is always a fun unit because everyone gets to express their likes and dislikes during the question part of collecting the data. We've had some very exciting voting times.

Science

Religion

Even though Easter was in the holidays we have continued to discuss the Easter story in Religion lessons. We have performed skits, heard stories and captured the events in a sequencing activity.

Sport

The students attending the swimming lessons have come a long way from some not being able to put their head under the water, or not being able to perform the freestyle stroke to attempting to complete a lap of freestyle.

It was impressive to see how much each student knew about their family tree during history. They all knew which side of the tree to place their grandparents’ names and their correct titles.
