The Junior Primary Class started doing some drama and rhythm activities, learning about spacial awareness, action stills and how to construct rhythm pattern beats.

The students have been accelerating in their Read, Write Inc program and their English units overall. In Maths, the students have extended their number knowledge, counting forward and backwards up to 20, 100 or 1000 as appropriate to their year level. The skip counting has been embraced by all, even the Foundation group are practicing counting by 2s and 10s.

In Science the student’s worked in groups investigating push and pull simple machines. Each group chose a particular type of machine, like levers, pulleys, incline planes and wedges.  Each group then presented their findings, including a model to the others in the class.

In the sequence of photo’s, the student’s chose a picture and in the first shot modeled the picture. In the second shot, they predicted what could happen 5 minutes later and the last shot, how the situation ended.
