On the last week of term one our Year 4 students travelled to Yarra Junction for their camp at ADANAC.
It was a very exciting camp for everyone with great weather and lots of fun activities.
Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves particularly as it was the first overnight camp for many of our students.
Here are a few pictures of our year 4 students in action at camp ….
One of the Maths topics we have been learning about in the 5/6 Level has been about Data. We learned about how you can use a tally chart to help keep an accurate summary and how we can present this information in a variety of different graphs. Some of the different graphs we have learnt about so far include a bar graph, column graph, line graph and stem and leaf plot.
One of our data surveys was based around collecting data about birthdays where we got to survey other students in the 5/6 level. We all tallied the data then presented this information into one of the graphs we learnt about. We finally posted these surveys on Seesaw for our families to see.
Overall, everyone enjoyed participating in our Data unit and learning about some of the different types of graphs
Here are a couple of photos of our work from our Data unit.
In our 5/6 level we have been learning about the different types and levels of Government for our Inquiry unit. Some of the different topics we have learnt about include the different levels of Government (Local, State and Federal) and the different houses of Federal Government which are The House Of Representatives (Green House) and the Senate (Red House). We also learnt about how laws are made and that there is an incredible 4500 rooms in Parliament House.
To demonstrate our learning of this topic the 5/6 students created a presentation showcasing what we had learnt. Some students completed a poster and other completed a slide show.
Here is some of the work from 5/6 Red.
Enjoy!
Last Thursday (March 30th), our Year 6’s and Preps came to school early along with their families for Buddy Breakfast. This event is a special opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and enjoy some yummy food together. One of the most special parts of our Buddy Breakfast is when the year 6 students present their Prep buddy with a special ‘Buddy Bear’. The purple buddy bear is an initiative from the Alannah & Madeline Foundation that helps to let every student know how special they are in our HT / St. Mary’s community. Many year 6 students still have their purple ‘Buddy Bear’ which is a symbol of how special the prep / year 6 buddy relationship is.
Overall, everyone really enjoyed our buddy breakfast and are thankful for the opportunity to gather together.
Here are some of the photos from the day ……
