CLASS NEWS & AWARDS

Prep B

Patterns you can see them everywhere; patterns you will find them everywhere. A Pattern will repeat, a pattern will repeat. It goes over and over and over and over again! 

Class 1B

What a fantastic term of learning it has been in Year 1! Our students have shown great dedication and growth, making progress across all areas of their learning. It’s been a joy to see their confidence and independence continue to flourish. We ended the term on a high with some memorable events, including our Teddy Bears’ Picnic and Junior Sports Day—both filled with smiles, fun, and teamwork. Wishing all our families a safe and restful break as we look forward to another exciting and engaging term ahead.

Class 2B

Over the past few weeks 2B have been looking at soundwaves in Science. We have discovered how vibrations travel by creating our own string telephones. It was great to see all the excitement as we tested how the sounds moved through the string and listened to our friends from across the basketball court.

Class 3B

Wow!!  What an amazing adventure we’ve had in 3B this semester! We dived into the magical world of Charlotte’s Web and created awesome iPad summaries to show off our thinking. Next term, get ready... because we’re jumping into the exciting pages of Matilda!
We’ve been busy authors too, typing up stories on our computers and learning how to create our very own books. In Maths, we’ve tackled tricky problems like champs, and we’ve discovered how helpful our maths dictionary can be when we feel stuck.
Half the year has zoomed by already, and we can’t wait to see where the next term takes us. Get ready for more fun, challenges, and lots of learning!

Class 4B

In Religion this term, our Grade 4 students have been diving into the mystery of the Holy Trinity — understanding that God is three persons in one: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As part of our learning, we’ve been exploring a wide variety of artistic representations of the Trinity.
These images have sparked rich conversations among the students. Together, we’ve examined the similarities and differences in the artwork, discussed the symbols used, and reflected on how each piece makes us feel and what it helps us understand about God.

Class 5B

Many thanks to all the parents and friends who joined us for the sports carnival. The students all had a wonderful time and all participated with a positive outlook and with great sportsmanship as well.

The term has come to its final days and we congratulate all the students in completing their assessments on time. There are so many to do and students had to dig deep to persisting in all the tasks to the best of their ability. Well done everyone.

We trust you will enjoy and celebrate your child’s accomplishments when you read the reports due in the next couple of weeks. As teachers, it is wonderful to see steady growth earned through a child’s hard work and consistent effort.

We wish our students a happy and relaxing family time break and look forward to term three where we have excursions and year 5 camp planned.

Class 6B

Our first semester has been a very busy one for the class, all of who are looking forward to a well earned break before beginning their last semester of primary school. This term the class have been reading and critiquing picture books with a focus on how illustrators use colour and shade to empahsise the mood of the story as well as identifying the message the author is conveying and the overall theme of the text. The unit of work culminated with the student’s writing a comparative analysis of two texts: The Little Refugee and The Arrival. Here is Seth’s comparative analysis of the texts.
