Year 5 Expedition

Year 5 are currently on their 3-night excursion to Milson Island, staying at the Sport and Recreation Centre. The programs offered by NSW Sport and Recreation promote the core ideas of the PDHPE Syllabus by promoting an active and healthy lifestyle and making informed decisions that lead to effective and responsible actions. The camp focuses on encouraging, understanding and valuing self and others, there is a big focus on independence whilst children are away from home. The students will be participating in orienteering, archery, raft building, kayaking, an amazing race, a boat trip to Twin Islands, BMX biking and paddle polo. What a great way to end the term.

Junior School Special Visit

Calrossy Junior School Prep Red, Year 4 and Year 5 had a very special opportunity to hear from Mrs Skye Fagan's Japanese friend, Tomomi and her daughter, Yuzuka about their life in Japan last week. The students were able to ask them questions with a highlight learning about the earthquake drills they do at Yuzuka's school which is in a seven storey building in the centre of Tokyo.

Yuzuka also had the opportunity to play with students in Year 3 at lunch time and visit the Yr 3 class after lunch where she participated in a science lesson and made a sundial. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to interact with Japanese speakers and find out first hand about their life in Tokyo.

Year 4 improving native bird population

Year 4 students with the help from some of our parent and grandparent helpers have been busy building bird nest boxes. The students are looking to improve the native bird population at our school and this is one possible way they have identified to do this. Well done everyone, they look great. Check out the photo gallery below.
