Prep/1/2 Happenings
We were really excited to have our kindy kids join us this week for a quick tour of our beautiful school! Our Prep’s and year 1’s did a fantastic job showing them about and helping them out with a quick fun craft activity.

Year 3/4 Happenings
In Maths, we have been discussing angles! We are learning to find right angles in the world around us, and use this knowledge to find obtuse and acute angles. In this lesson, students wrote their name in block-like letters and used colours to show where angles are in their own name.
Miss Allison,

Year 5/6 Happenings
We have gone measurement mad in maths, exploring different units of measurement within the metric system, including how to convert between them. This week we focused on the connection between capacity and volume, including how they are similar and different. We used our knowledge to help us measure different 3D objects to find both the capacity and the volume.
