MATHS 

In Maths we have been studying Shapes and the difference between a polygon and a shape with curved sides. Make sure you ask your child what the difference is! Be prepared for some questions coming at you too about the categories of shapes.  

Here are some photos of us enjoying shape making this week!  

ERP EXPO 

We are very excited about our upcoming ERP Expo in Week 11. Students have been busy studying geography of the world, specifically a country which links to their interest. Eg: Lego in Denmark. Students will enjoy presenting their findings to you at the upcoming Expo on Thursday 3rd of July from 9:15am in classrooms. We hope to see many of you there.  

BRIAN BOURKE VISIT

On Friday we were lucky enough to have Brian visit our year 3 & 4 class. He enjoys writing poetry and shared some of his wonderful work with the students. It was so inspiring to hear him talk about his childhood and hear beautiful poetry 

MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING DAY 

On the final day of term we will enjoy a day focused on developing our awareness of Mental Health. Each of our five Walker Learning Domains – Physical, Emotional, Social, Language and Cognitive will be a focus for the activities. Students will enjoy a day of learning about how we can improve our mental health through a focus on specific tasks. We look forward to enjoying a wonderful day together.  

ENGLISH 

In English we have been learning about Poetry. Some of the children enjoyed re-writing Mulga Bill using the 14 syllables per line rule. We also had the opportunity to write our own poems.

Aralie Chick 

I love the way the birds chirp in the trees, 

I love the humming of the morning bees, 

I adore how the sun lights up my room, 

I love the lovely sweep sweep of the broom, 

I love the squeak of the postman’s bike, 

I love the smell of bakery delights, 

I adore every diamond on my crown, 

I love every single bit of my town. 

Skylah Mulcahy 

The girl who flew to America, went to try the food, 

For a youtube video, it had a funny mood.  

She stayed in a hotel, really fancy place, 

But she really missed her dog called Ace.  

Henry Close 

Me and Oscar are playing Tap Road; we think it is goated, 

Me and Oscar are playing Tap Road, and into our minds it floated.  

Since that happened, our opponents were flattened; our channels will be loaded. 

Maggie Amarant 

Follow me, come with me, I will dance and sing, 

You and I will make us laugh, the flowers will bloom in spring, 

I will be following you, you will be following me, 

Our adventure goes forever, the garden of joy for all to see 

Ryan Jarden 

The sting of the killer bees, 

The thorn of the trees. 

The virus was a disease, 

They’re all so small, That nobody sees, 

But watch out y’all, they will bring you to your knees
