WHAM!

What's Happening At Milgate!

Acknowledgement of Country

Milgate Primary School would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land of the Wurundjeri People, and we would like to pay our respects to the elders both past and present. Staff, students and the school community understand that we thrive, learn and live on Wurundjeri Country and we stand with all cultures united as one.

Milgate’s Vision

To provide a dynamic, inclusive learning environment that challenges students to become inquirers, thinkers and caring young people who are able to interact in the global society with respect and intercultural understanding.

Year 1 Excursion to Melbourne Museum

On Wednesday this week, the Year 1 students had a fantastic day visiting the Melbourne Museum as part of their inquiry into 'Where we are in place and time'.

The students had so much fun exploring fossils and rocks as they wandered through the thrilling Dinosaur Walk, and visited Horridus the Triceratops, one of the most complete Triceratops fossils ever found, unearthed after 67 million years. The students explored the concepts of change and connection as they viewed artefacts and noticed how things have changed over time and made connections to their personal lives. They used their research skills to read and learn information about historical artefacts throughout the museum. They explored and found information on Earth’s history, as well as Indigenous culture, and Melbourne’s history.

Thank you very much to all the parent helpers who offered up their time to assist us on the day, we were greatly appreciative and hope you enjoyed the day too!

Year 3 Incursion - The Lab

On Wednesday and Friday this week, the Year 3 students engaged in a full day of science exploration with ‘The Lab’ incursion run by the Mini Boss team. The students investigated a range of scientific experiments focussing on forces, properties of materials and chemical reactions. Some highlights were making bath bombs and hypothesising about the pH of different liquids. The students thoroughly enjoyed this hands-on day where they could apply all of their new knowledge and skills from our current unit of inquiry.
