What a great start to Term 4!

The Year 3/4's had a wonderful time in Week 2, when we went to Rawnsley Park for an overnight camp. During the trip we looked at engravings and searched for tadpoles at Dingly Dell, walked to the Shearers Quarters at Wilpena Pound and played lots of games and activities.

In the meant time, the Year 5/6s went to Thuruna Bay for a four-day camp with the senior kids. 

In Maths we have been looking at chance and data and 3D shape. 

English has seen us looking at second person point of view and playing around with figurative language. So far, the children have learned about alliterations, personifications, hyperboles and metaphors and similes. 

In Science, the Year 3/4 class have been exploring the solar system while the Year 5/6 class have been investigating natural disasters.

The Year 3/4's have been looking at building resilience and learning how to maintain their mental and emotional wellbeing in health.  The 5/6 class have been learning about what happens to the body, both physically and mentally, during puberty. 

We have been busy cooking a wonderful 3-course meal of chicken soup, pizza and cheesecake in the kitchen and getting new plants planted in the kitchen garden. We hope to be able to use the results of our hard work next year during Home Economics.
