 Years 4 - 6

Today our year 4 and 5/6 classes took part in an incursion run by Kiewa Catchment Landcare Group (KCLG). Today we welcomed back Cathy, Shannon, Rowan from KCLG who accompanied Aunty Valda, Aunty Glennys, Kingston, and Charlotte from Dhuduroa Dhargal who shared their cultural art with us.  As part of a colaboration our students have been asked to draw on individual canvases a native animal that speakes to them, that they may even adopt as their own totem animal. Some of these artworks will be added to Aunty Glennys canvases as commissioned by Landcare. 

This incursion was very well recieved by our students who learnt a lot and are very excited to be apart of a bigger project.

Why Do Things Move?

Last Friday our students made Rockets.  Learning about force, push, and pull, how different factors like balanced,/unblanced, force, and gravity can alter it and therfore result in different outcomes.

This week with Mary-Ann our Prep/1 class focused on Force, the action of moving or changing postition. Using their creativity in smaller groups they expolored this subject and together using critical analysis guided by push and pull, friction, and gravity came up with some answers.
