Scienceworks

On Monday the 1st of August the F/1/2 students went to Scienceworks! We had an amazing days full of lots of learning and fun! We got to look at how machines moved and play with lots of different things that made different colours. We saw ourselves in funny looking mirrors as well as made music with out feet. There were even special types of materials that when we stood behind them, our bodies disappeared!

Puppet Plays

This term we have been learning about fairytales! Each week we explore a different fairytale such as 'The three little pigs' or 'Jack and the beanstalk'. We do lots of different activities about the book. One of the things we do, that the kids absolutely love is a puppet play about the story. Here are some of the puppet plays:

Mary Mackillop

This week we have been learning about the Saint Mary Mackillop. On Monday we were so excited as it was our first time over at the church. The kids enjoyed learning about the church, the things we say and the songs we sing. They were all very respectful. We have talked about how we can be helpful like Mary Mackillop.

Classroom fun

The kids have enjoyed engaging with our play based learning area this term. On Tuesday we were working on our fine motor skills. Here are some towers we made and an amazing marble run!
