Week 4 Term 2 2019

Dear Parents/Caregivers, We are well and truly in the thick of the Term. Online Naplan is almost complete and PSSA has begun. Congratulations to our Junior Rugby Team that has made the Panther Trophy Final Day on Wednesday 3 July at St Mary’s Stadium. Healthy Harold and his team of educators have been presenting lessons on a variety of health and wellbeing programs this week and the students have loved the opportunity to participate in the visit. Thank you to all of our school community for supporting the Adopt-a-Farmer Day. Our community raised over $200 for the cause. I’m sure the farmers will be most appreciative of our help. Next week on Sorry Day we will be wearing mufti in both Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander colours and the teachers will be involved in the Biggest Morning Tea to help raise money for cancer sufferers.

Week 4 Term 2 2019

STAGE PAGE

3/4 Lyrebirds

2 Magpies 2M Magpies have been learning in Mathematics how to create their own graphs and interpret information from the graphs. We played a game called “We’re Going on a Shape Hunt”. Each player had to roll the dice and move their counter the corresponding number of squares on the game board. Students then recorded the shape on the graph. Play continued till all students had reached the finish line. Once play had finished students then answered questions about the shapes that had been “hunted” during the game.

In 3-4 Lyrebirds this Term, we have been learning things about each other to create a learning environment that celebrates each other’s unique attributes and their culture.
