A message from Stage 1
Some of our Stage 1 classes visited Thalgarrah Environmental Education Centre last week and visits continue this week. We have had many smiles and happy stories coming back with students and we cannot wait to hear more from the classes that are yet to go. A reminder again to please label all jumpers, scarves and beanies as well as make sure lunch boxes are full as we head into the cooler months.

We are learning to:
Hopefully by the end of the term, your child will be an expert and will be able to discuss their class animal with you in detail.
We are learning to:

Students were eager to make their predictions about what happens when various ingredients are combined. We investigated and discussed the changes that occurred when ingredients were combined to make playdough. We made a volcano with the playdough then added bicarb soda, dishwashing liquid and vinegar. The chemical reaction caused the volcano to erupt, which was very messy and exciting for all students. Students recorded the results and used adjectives to describe their observations.
Over the next few weeks, we are learning to identify the changes in the weather and the seasons. We will be learning about the properties of different objects to see if they are flexible, transparent or able to bend or twist. We are looking forward to making more predictions and observations about the changes that occur during our future experiments.
