Building Towers

On Friday we had a super challenge to see which team could build the tallest free standing bridge with only four pieces of paper, a sheet of newspaper, cello tape and glue. Everyone had to work together to come up with a solution that would solve this problem. Some groups discussed various options while others jumped straight into the building process. In the end each group created their own unique structures. Here is a video of us all working together.

Happy Holidays

Ready, Set, Go!!!

Today we had our annual cross country race. Throughout this term we have been practicing nearly everyday and each day we were better prepared for the actual event.

The morning was filled with great excitement. There were many parents, grandparents and sibling who had come to watch us all run the cross country race. It was so much fun and everyone had a great day.

Did you enjoy the cross country? 

Chinese Moon Festival

Today we learnt about the Chinese Moon Festival which takes place on the 15th day of the 8th month in the lunar calendar. This year the Moon Festival will be on the 30th of September. It is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival because chinese people celebrate this special occassion in Autumn when the moon is the brightest, roundest and biggest.

Ms Ko also taught us how and why chinese people celebrate this festival. At the end of our lesson we each made a paper lantern which is used during the festival.

Watch the clip below and share what you learnt about this festival.



Year 6 Production

A few weeks ago the Year 6 students presented an outstanding production about protecting our oceans. They worked hard and we were amazed by their talent. Some of the performers were from our buddy class and we enjoyed watching them share their learning with us.

Great job Year 6's!!!

What was your favourite about the production?

Art Exhibition

These are our beautiful seasonal trees which we completed for the Art Exhibition. Our paintings are inspired by the amazing trees in our school environment. Each season is represented through our art work and we tried to show this by adapting the back ground or thinking about how trees change each season. It was an exciting experience because we learnt different painting techniques to help us communicate our ideas.

We hope you enjoy our paintings.
