On 20th May, Louie Vassalo from Featherdale Wildlife Park came to our school to teach our Year 1 students about animal transportation.
Louie and his animals were a huge hit with our students.
His teaching supports and enhances the work we are doing in the classroom in HSIE, where students will be naming transport vehicles which could take an animal to a zoo in Japan and designing an enclosure to transport the animal safely.
We thank Louie for helping us provide engaging learning for our students.

Students have been using directions to create a range of tracks for the Bee-Bot. They then developed a navigational algorithm by applying mathematical knowledge of grid coordinates and precise movements (distance and direction). The final goal was to test and refine their code and course design, ensuring the robot successfully completed the programmed route and measured the distance traveled.

🧮✨ Exploring Geometry in Year 4! In Mathematics this week, our students took a deep dive into mapping skills. We learnt how to identify and mark locations on maps using grid references, and used directional language to describe routes around Gridville! 🗺️➡️ To put our skills into action, students even created their own towns by following specific coordinates. Such a fun and hands-on way to build spatial awareness and problem-solving skills! 🌟😊

Putting the 'Heft' into Hefty Learning! 💪📚 Year 2 is mastering the concept of mass! We started with the simple, sensory skill of hefting—using our sense of feel to compare objects and estimate which is heavier. Then, we moved on to the precision of scales to get exact measurements. We are learning that sometimes, things aren't always what they feel like! Which do you think is a heavier: an apple or a tennis ball? Let our Year 2 experts know! #Year2Learning #HandsOnMaths #ComparingMasses

Stew-pendous performance by our Year 2 stars ⭐️ They really brought the classic 'Wombat Stew' to life. No actual wombats were harmed (or eaten) in the making of this play!

Our littlest learners in Kindergarten have been working incredibly hard this week! We've been practicing our letter writing skills and, most importantly, learning how to use those handy little words called conjunctions! Conjunctions help us to join our ideas, making our sentences longer and more descriptive. The Kindy students wrote beautiful, thoughtful letters to our Principal, Mrs Garzaniti, all about our school experiences.

Learning while grooving! Year 1 attended Zing today to work on their movement skills. We were formally assessing their ability to use space, follow a sequence, and keep the beat. They certainly passed with flying colours! 💯 #DanceAssessment #PrimaryPE #Year1Fun
