Term 4
Walking past the classrooms and around the
playground, it is wonderful to see our students so
settled and producing excellent work. Term 4 is
upon us and is a term full of exciting activities with
excursions and pool days but it is also a time to
strive for personal bests in our academic areas.
Our teachers have created many exciting learning
opportunities for the students where they can
apply their knowledge and understanding but also
question and become efficient problem solvers in
this changing world we live in.
Young Entrepreneurs
Today on the news I heard about young
entrepreneurs who have developed a tag for
school hats and jumpers. The tag has a number on
it and when you purchase a new jumper or hat it is
registered online. If the hat is lost at school and
turns up in the lost property the parents are sent a
text message automatically. This is the world we
are living in. These young entrepreneurs are not
very old. Education is teaching kids to think,
question and problem solve but also invent.
Infant’s Playground Equipment
Year 1 and 2 are currently questioning the
usefulness of the infant’s playground equipment.
We will be applying an inquiry based learning
model to assist the students to question and
problem solve. Who knows what wonderful ideas
they will think of? Watch this space.
