So onto the news in brief.
Numeracy
The year 6's are investigating measurement and have chosen a task to help them practice measurement and recording data. There has been a range of activities happening and lots of refining of our measuring processes.
Some of the activities we are trying
- footy kicks
- paper plan throw
- Water trickling
- Long jump
- Vortex throw etc
We look forward to seeing great measuring and data recording.
Christie's Walk Excursion
This Friday and next Tuesday students will be travelling to Adelaide to investigate Christie's Walk. This is part of our introduction to Exhibition and will provide the students with a chance to look at concepts relating to "Sharing the Planet."
On Friday the Year 7's will be having the first visit with the Year 6's going next Tuesday. A note went home tonight with the children and it would help us to have them back as soon as possible to help with the final part of planning.
We are also looking for parent support for the day to help us achieve all that we can. If you are interested in joining us for either day, email or come in to talk to us.
It is an awesome learning experience.
