Art and Science

Science

This term in Science Bottlebrush have been exploring and sorting a range of manmade and natural materials. They have also been discovering what it means for an object to be waterproof and when it might be used. Sturt Desert Peas been exploring different ways to use materials to help make a protective package and completing a range of experiments. They particularly enjoyed making different bridges out of paper shapes to support a range of weights. Eucalyptus have been discovering the benefits and dangers of living near a Volcano. They have been developing their research skills and finding a range of data and factual information about Volcanoes using the internet. At the end of the term, they will work together to make small model Volcanoes.

Art

This term all of the students have been busy preparing for the Arts Festival. Everyone is very excited to show off their creations to the community. Students collaborated on decorative feathers for a selfie wall and created prints inspired by the Indigenous artist Kaylene Whiskey. Bottlebrush created clay works together based on a Fairytale theme. The Sturt Desert Peas used inspiration from stories they love such as Captain Underpants and traditional coil pots. Eucalyptus created a beautiful display inspired by the potter Ladi Kwali and should be very proud of their efforts! Make sure you come along to the Arts Festival so that you can see all of the beautiful works on display.

Please join us on Wednesday the 7th of December from 2.30pm - 4.20pm to celebrate all of the students wonderful work in Art and Italian.

I am looking forward to another great year of Science and Art in 2023!
