F-2 PE

Students tried a variety of sports in Term 4. They continued to work on eye-hand coordination and their balance, to increase their body’s ability in challenging PE tasks. We tried a new game called Spikeball this term. Spikeball is a great alternative to volleyball (it’s easier and more elementally friendly) while working on the same skill.

This media show that students are playing in pair. They are getting more skillful after spending some time practicing the game themselves.

5-6 Maths

In Term 4, Years 5-6 students will learn about probability and statistics. They will experiment with probabilities in different real-life scenarios. Students will also continue to work on finding factors this term. All students have shown a great improvement in the four operations and they have successfully extended their knowledge in finding Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiple.

7-10 Science

Our secondary school students will learn about Earth Science in Term 4. They made fossils with coffee grounds (Thanks Flinders Food Co for their coffee grounds). The fossils look amazing after being dried up. 

Then we wrote an imaginative essay in Science. In this task, students acted as a team of paleontologists who dig the fossils in Hawker in 3022! They used the ‘fossilized’ plants to deduce what the environment was like in Hawker one thousand years ago. The pictures show students digging up fossils in the sandpit and investigating the characteristics of arid land plants.

Apart from studying geology and adaptations of arid land plants, our secondary school students also depicted rock cycles and tectonic movement using Comics. These are some of our students’ works.

3-6 PE

Our primary school students learnt about the rules of baseball this term. The pictures show the students practicing baseball in our school oval.
