In OASIS, students will explore the basic needs of plants, animals and humans, including food, water, air and shelter. We will learn through our school garden by caring for the plants and animals at our school. Students will continue to look after the garden by completing a range of hands-on gardening jobs and learning how to care for living things and their environment.

Students will make artworks using different techniques to express their observations and imagination. They will describe artworks they make and view, including where artworks are made. They will focus on various techniques when creating 3D artworks. 

Science-Jess Widdicombe 

Push and pull will be the focus for term 4. We’ll explore the strength and direction of forces and where forces are in our everyday lives. To end the unit, the students will undertake a paper airplane design challenge.   

Music – Stacie Mason 

Students will practice reading and writing music on the stave – the five lines and four spaces music is written on. They will learn to place a new note – ‘lah’ – as well as using notes they already know – ‘so’ and ‘mi’. Using new and old songs, students will read, create, sing, move and play instruments to explore written music. Songs will include ‘Bounce High, Bounce Low’ and ‘Icka Backa’.
