2B 'Hands on' learning about quarters

Secondary - Motivational Speaker Mr John Coutis

On Monday the 5th of March Secondary students had a visit from world renowned motivational speaker John Coutis. John has spoken to many students and organisations around the world including Australian Olympic teams and NRL teams. The sessions were broken into Years 7 to 9 and then Years 10 to 12. John spoke about his life and journey so far, the good and bad times he has endured, as well as the importance of trying your best in all situations and not letting circumstances stop you from achieving your goals.

2B Mathmatics

In Mathematics we created a big graph showing our favourite pets!

Learning Multiply & Divide :)

2B engages in buddy style learning in Mathematics. Students worked with a partner to complete Maths based challenges.

In Mathematics one group played a game to underpin learning in subtraction. 

2B HSIE

In HSIE we actively engaged in learning about lizards’ shelter and animals that shelter in trees. Students enjoyed using the sand tray from the Learning Centre and a tree branch from Mr Green’s farm to explore new learning opportunities.

During the term we have also been learning about under water habitats. We had several sensory activities to support written learning.

We have also been learning about what animals shelter in trees and why trees are a good habitat for some creatures. God is a good creator. 2B has been enjoying hands on learning opportunities to support written work.

2B A big house

2B engaged in collaborative learning and made a house in HSIE to help us revise our learning about homes/shelters. The whole class contributed to the project.

Stage 2 Engineers

Year 3 and Year 4 have been engineering towers in the ISC to be like Rosie Revere, in the book Rosie Revere, Engineer. Their task was to create the tallest tower out of straws in 10 minutes. We had some fantastic collapses and some amazing heights reached. Well done Stage 2!
