25.01.2022 Last week our little learners were busy learning how to compare the length of objects using string and streamers. We also had some fantastic example of writing during the week and our prep student wanted to share his great writing. Keep up the great work everyone!

25.01.2022 This video shows how to get text to speech in PDF documents.

23.01.2022 Our Kindy students yesterday were keen to share their learning in the afternoon with our principal. We had a discussion which led to students trying some pumpkin seeds. They even showed they understood how to read signs in our office showing Mrs G where the hospital (first aid) supplies were located if someone got hurt. Evie and Ruben were quick to point out that only adults are allowed into the cupboard because the sign says stop to kids (authorised personnel only).

23.01.2022 Please see the below post from the state government. Parents can be assured that learning materials are ready to go and will be delivered by Monday 20th April. Our staff look forward to working with parents in the coming weeks to support students’ learning.

22.01.2022 Today kindy and prep students combined our numeracy lesson with gross motor. We had lots of fun counting while learning how to hop through hopscotch. It was great fun!

20.01.2022 In Kindy, Evie has been investigating Humpty Dumpty falling off his wall... she was all prepared with her bucket yesterday but Humpty didn’t want to fall in there . Today Evie is working to come up with ideas to protect Humpty Dumpty.... we cannot wait to see what she comes up with. Good job Evie!

19.01.2022 This morning our students worked hard on editing their information texts. We use dictionaries to assist us with this task. Our prep students were excited to share their multimodal information text with Mr Todd and explain what they have learnt about using PowerPoint.

18.01.2022 And here is the much awaited test... will Humpty Dumpty be safe? Watch and find out!

16.01.2022 This morning we had our first class teleconference. There were lots of busy learners early this morning.

We look forward to having our next class teleconference next Thursday morning for those who can make it. Great commitment to learning Isaac and Lachlan!

14.01.2022 It's great to see William and Charlie working hard from home. Keep up the great work boys!

13.01.2022 LJ was demonstrating how distracting it can be when someone isn't standing still and uses gestures that don't match their speech.

13.01.2022 Our Kindy students have also been busy Learning at Home. Ruben did some hands on learning with Dad measuring to see if the tractor would fit through the gate. Evie worked on creating her bunny and shared her learning with her sister. We loved the colourful and practical hands on learning happening in each home environment.

12.01.2022 Our school has undergone some minor works within the classroom to make our learning spaces more flexible. This morning students came in to a new wet area in our larger classroom which was exciting and a big change for a normal weekend thanks to the efforts of our staff. Here are some photos from the action.

11.01.2022 Today our students were busy learning during maths. It was great to see hands on learning in a collaborative environment where our students were helping each other. We are looking forward to another busy day tomorrow.

09.01.2022 This morning Prep to Year 2 students had some fun videoing bad examples (non-examples) of how to present to an audience. The boys found it hilarious when Mrs G took her turn. We learnt about: -standing up straight and still facing the audience -using appropriate tone, pitch volume and pace when speaking -using appropriate gestures to match the story... - and remembering to have good eye contact with the audience We are pleased to share some of our videos with our community (some people chose not to share their video as they were feeling shy today) See more

09.01.2022 This morning students have been working hard in English and literacy activities. What a great way to finish and busy first week. Well done everyone.

09.01.2022 Our students have been working in all sorts of ways over the past week. These photos show that learning happens in all places. Well done boys!

09.01.2022 Today we have had a busy day of learning. This morning we started with the lower school learning how to use powerpoint, then we moved after lunch into maths lessons, where we had students trying trick the teacher, students peer tutoring and then sharing their learning with other grades. We finished this afternoon with some active skipping activities that helped us to remember our times-tables and skip counting.

09.01.2022 This week Evie has been coming up with a plan to save Humpty Dumpty when he falls off his wall. Watch the video to see Evie explaining her plan... Her test will be the next post in 2 minutes

09.01.2022 Today Years 4-6 were hard at work identifying if information will support their point of view for their multimodal feature article in English. They use a collaborative approach to discuss points made but agreed that some facts provided may be used in different ways to support arguments. Keep working hard students.

08.01.2022 Lately our older students have worked hard to demonstrate their knowledge of fractions, number and drama (yes I said drama, just to keep everyone on their toes). Here are a couple of examples with the proud upper school learners who consistently work hard in our classrooms.

07.01.2022 Congratulations to our winners this week. It has been great to see everyone consistently working hard this term.

07.01.2022 Today we had some examples of home learning being sent through. Well done students and parents, keep up the great work!

06.01.2022 Farrer was showing us how tone can be distracting when it doesn't match the text by using an angry tone.

06.01.2022 Great job to all our parents who have successfully completed their first day supporting our students in learning at home. The staff are very proud of your efforts and here to support you when you need you need assistance. Emails from both Mrs Goddard and Mrs Koster this afternoon have some more information for tomorrow's learning. Have a good night's rest and we will be speaking with everyone tomorrow morning!

05.01.2022 This video shows how to get Text to Speech in Word documents. It is useful for when we have word documents we need read to us.

05.01.2022 Today staff participated in their annual First Aid training on our school site. This important qualification was completed through both online and a face to face socially distanced practical session. It was excellent to access this training at our school to cover a range of topics including anaphylaxis, asthma, CPR, sprains and strains on Chloe the test subject.

05.01.2022 Lachlan demonstrated how hard it can be to listen to someone who is not facing the audience.

04.01.2022 Safety first in Science with Mrs F!!

04.01.2022 The last two days we have been busy demonstrating our learning in many different ways. Students enjoy some sustained silent reading after completing their maths assessments.

03.01.2022 The Years 4 and 6 boys thought that Mrs G did a terrible job with her presentation. She didn't stand still, didn't face the audience, used inappropriate pitch and inappropriate gestures. This was all very distracting and a great non-example. Next week we will continue working to improve our oral presentation skills in class.

02.01.2022 Today our lower school worked to identify sentences with nouns and verbs from a traditional story we have been reading. This is a photo of LJ’s fantastic writing this morning. Well done LJ!
