Instrumental Music

Congratulations to our music students who performed at the Instrumental Concert on the 22nd October. The students performed with great enthusiasm.

Students performed on a variety of instruments including strings, percussion and piano. It was a fantastic effort by all students and I am looking forward to the ongoing participation of students in future musical performances.  If you are looking at starting your child in the instrumental music program please contact Diana Busolin Monday to Wednesday.

Exploring Habitats

The Year 1 children in Rooms 29 and 30 have been learning about different habitats for our unit in Geography. They worked collaboratively in groups to design and then construct a diorama of a habitat of their choice. They also researched the habitat using their IPADs and published an information book each to go along with their diorama.

Room 29 extended their learning further by creating an artwork of a place that they thought is special and explained how we should take care of it. They even thought of sizzling starts to engage their audience! Below are some examples of the children’s learning and creativity.

Grange Primary will have representatives at the PMA presentation evening on Friday 1st of November. We entered the 2019 PMA Challenge and were successful in winning the class presentation section for both Grange entries. Teachers and the representative students will be presented with their certificates by the Minister for Education, John Gardner.

Sarah Pendrey, Caroline Harkins and the students from Rooms 2 and 30 entered “What is capacity?” and received state winner.

Susan Wilson and the students from Room 32 entered "Displaced" and received state winner.

Both classes presented a digital entry where they were able to showcase their mathematical learning throughout the topic of capacity and displacement using ICT. Many thanks to Chris Philbrook who assisted with developing the students technological learning.
