Discovery Centre

Curriculum

What a HUGE week we have had in the Discovery Centre. We are so proud of our singers, dancers and actors who performed in the Junior Production! On Tuesday students got changed into their costumes and did a dress rehearsal to a keen audience of 3/4 students. On Wednesday we had a very exciting adventure, travelling via bus to Crossways to do a run through on the big stage. It was a very fun but long day in preparation for the big night. That night, the time had finally come - after weeks and weeks of practise, the students were ready to perform in front of their adoring fans (their families!). Foundation students did a FANTASTIC job performing as time travellers, beach goers and postmen. We hope you enjoyed the show! 

In Literacy this week we focused on recalling information from events that have happened by writing recounts about the weekend and and the production. We have challenged students to include 'wow' words to make their writing more interesting. In Maths we practised counting forwards and backwards from different starting points with some songs and games to help.
