This term in Digitech the students in years 3 to 6 have been participating in the Lego Engineering program. The students work in groups to build the Lego model whilst learning about the forces that help to make it work. Most models require a motor and some use a special bluetooth motor that can can be controlled using the Wedo program on our Chromebooks.
The 3/4 students have built a variety of models including a crane, railroad barrier and a towing vehicle. The 5/6 students have built a forklift, battle-tank and a caterpillar robot.
We are all learning lots of skills and knowledge about how different machines work in our world as well as having fun with building the different Lego models.
Here are some photos of models that we have built recently.
Year 5 and 6 artists are just completing a unit on Street Art. The last artist they explored was Keith Haring and after drawing a joyful artwork in his style they created a clay wall hanging of a figure. These have been a lot of fun to make. Next week they will use Paint pens to decorate the figure. Super work
During our reading lessons the Year 3’s and 4’s have been working on Readers Theatre.
Readers Theatre is a reading activity that involves reading a script aloud in small groups. It is a fun and interactive way to improve our reading skills, such as improving our fluency and expression as well as developing our confidence when speaking in front of an audience
The first group is called ‘The Foiled Robbery’. The second is called ‘The Science Experiment’. We hope you enjoy our presentation.
This year the Preps have had many special celebrations for their first year of school including “P” day and “100 Days of School” celebrations.
On June 21, our Preps celebrated “P day.” P day is a day when our preps dress up as something beginning with the letter P. Some examples include are pirate, princess, police, piggy and even Peter Parker. The preps really enjoyed “P” day and there were so many pretty and perfect costumes. P Day was a real hit for our Prep students.
Another major day for our Preps was when they celebrated 100 days of being at school. On their 100 days celebration they dressed up as something to do with 100! Lots of students dressed up as grandmas and grandpas and so many of the costumes were very creative. The Preps got to decorate 100 biscuits and made a necklace with 100 lollies on it ….. yummy!!!
Safe to say I think the preps really like both of these days.
Here is a few photos from the Prep celebrations ….
The amazing Prep artists have been creating crazy colour wheel clowns.
The little artists first of all created colour wheels using red, blue and yellow paint.
these were used for the clowns tummy.
Next they drew clown faces, mittens, bows and shoes. Finally they added some juggling balls.
These are super cute, well done Preppies

The Book Week theme for this year was: READ GROW INSPIRE!
The students wrote on a leaf a character from a book or person that inspired them or that they admire and it was lovely to see our ‘tree’ grow! Some of their inspirations were: Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Ahn Do, Matilda, Taylor Swift, Ella Diaries, LeBron James, Messi and many more…..
The students enjoyed many activities throughout the week organised by Mrs Dowling, with the highlight being the book week parade! Here are some of the photos…….
Father’s Day is a day for people to show their appreciation for their fathers, father figures and grandfathers. This special day reminds us how much we love our fathers, grandfathers and those who are like fathers to us. We take the opportunity to say THANK YOU for all they do for us.
Below is the Prayer Service I planned for Father’s Day. Teachers and students used this Prayer Service in their classes on Monday afternoon. We understand that not all the significant men in our lives could be with us. Families are encouraged to pray together as a family using the Father’s Day Prayer Service to recognise and thank the fathers, grandfathers and father figures in their lives.
On the 24th of July, the 5/6 level went on an excursion to Scienceworks as part of our current Science topic about Matter. Matter is everything around us that exists as a solid, liquid and gas.
We went to the planetarium and learnt about how physics would allow a aeroplane to fly in space and how a black hole behaves.
We also got a really cool demonstration on how things can boil when they become incredibly hot or cold by pouring liquid nitrogen onto a squeaky duck.
Overall, our Scienceworks Excursion was really fun and we enjoyed learning about all the different states of matter.
Here are some photos from our excursion to Scienceworks …..

To consolidate their learning of “Then and Now”, Grade 1/2 s had the opportunity to participate in an incursion from “Storybox”. They were so eager and attentive much to the admiration from the teachers and learnt how times have changed, clothes they wore, the games they played and the gadgets and the gimmicks they used. The best discovery was the bedpan which they thought was a mixing bowl!!!!!!
The amazing Year 3 and 4 students have created Dreamtime Dioramas based on a Dreamtime story they wrote during their class literacy sessions.
After investigating the art work of author and illustrator Gregg Dreise the students created the diorama and then made the animals in the story using magiclay.
These look sensational, they should be very proud of their hard work.
This is just a few of the ones that have been completed.
