🔟 Friends of Ten in Year 1! 🔟 Our Year 1 mathematicians have been busy mastering their Friends of Ten! 🧠✨ To help these number pairings stick, we’ve been put to the test with some friendly competition. Students have been using tens frames to challenge their partners, racing to see who can be the first to call out the matching ""friend"" to make ten. Whether it’s 6+4 or 8+2, our learners are getting faster every day! It’s been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and growing confidence with their mental math strategies. Ask your little mathematician tonight: ""I have a 3, who is my friend of ten?"" 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ #Year1Maths #FriendsofTen #ActiveLearning #FutureMathematicians

Our Year 5 students have been hard at work this week. In English, they have been reading a biography of Peter Lalor, a key figure in Australia's democratic history. To show off their comprehension skills, the students have been practicing the skill of paraphrasing. This involves taking complex information from the text and rewording it in their own way while retaining the original meaning. ✍️ Today's focus was the introduction. The students loved using their whiteboards to draft their ideas, tweak their sentences, and share their sentences with their peers. 💡💬 Keep up the good work.

Last Friday, Year 3 participated in the World of Maths incursion, exploring 17 engaging, hands-on activities designed to build and apply a wide range of mathematical skills. Students worked both collaboratively and independently to solve problems, think critically, and use strategies involving number, measurement, patterns, and reasoning. It was fantastic to see students making real-world connections and discovering that maths can be both fun and meaningful!

Yesterday, Year 4 attended the “Freaky Forces” science incursion in the MPA and enjoyed a hands-on exploration of forces. Students investigated how friction affects movement, how centre of gravity impacts balance, and why objects behave the way they do. A highlight was the balloon experiment—standing on balloons without popping them—showing how spreading force over a larger area prevents breakage. A fun and engaging way to bring science to life!

Our Year 1 explorers traded their desks for a day of discovery at the World of Maths excursion! 🧮✨ It wasn’t just about numbers—it was about solving puzzles, building towers, and seeing how math lives everywhere in the world around us. From hands-on challenges to teamwork triumphs, our little learners showed off some seriously impressive problem-solving skills. The best part? Seeing those ""Aha!"" moments when a tricky puzzle finally clicked! 💡 Check out some of the highlights from our day of counting, measuring, and (most importantly) having a blast! 📸👇 #WorldOfMaths #Year1Adventures #LearningThroughPlay #FutureMathematicians #SchoolExcursion #HandsOnLearning"

This term, our Year 6 students wiill be investigating how the properties of materials determine their use. Today’s challenge was to taking everyday items like metal clips, bottle tops, playdough, sponges, and wooden tiles and find a way to make them float. Working in teams, the students manipulated the materials before making their predictions. The students then tested their objects to determine whether or not they were able to float. It was a fantastic day of hands-on learning and scientific thinking! Well done, Year 6, on such a focused and engaging start to the term! 🌟
