Cross Country

Cross Country

On Thursday the 26^th of March our students participated in the whole school Cross Country. It was great to see our grade 3/4 students participating and having a go. The winning house on the day was Bass!

Serendip Sanctuary

Serendip Sanctuary

We were very lucky that the 3/4 grades were the first classes to visit Serendip Sanctuary this year. We had some great weather and we even got to take a bus to and from the Sanctuary which saved some of our energy. Over the week we worked on learning about the environment and the animals that live at Serendip. The students walked along Hovells Creek and collected litter and recorded the types of litter they found. The total numbers were astonishing. The students were shocked to find out how much rubbish was collected altogether.

The students worked on the netbooks and used Microsoft Excel to create some graphs. The students made great recommendations for the people of Lara in regards to rubbish. An example from 3/4B is below.

“We’d like the people of Lara to look after our town and the environment.  We don’t want them to just throw their rubbish out because they should reuse, reduce and recycle.” By Dylan

We had a deeper look at what is really in compost and why it is good for our plants,

We were lucky to have Hazel visit and bring in her lizards to show everyone.

The students also used the Ipads to look at the Ecolink app and name some of the ‘free range’ animals spotted at Serendip. These animals are not in cages and are free to come and go as they please.

The students also learnt about Imovie on the Ipads and were able to add music, transitions and headings.

What a great week!

Book Fair

The Scholastic Book Fair will be coming to our school for the week of Monday 16/3- Friday 23/3. It will be in the Performing Arts Room; Room 10.

Please come along before or after school and purchase some books as it is a great fundraiser for our school.

Flight Day

In our Inquiry unit we have been learning about flight and the important people in Aviation. As the Avalon Air Show was happening on Friday the 27^th of March we also had our own Flying aircraft competition. The student had each made an aircraft for their homework and was able to enter their aircraft in different categories. Some of these were longest flight, best decorated and mystery category. Everyone had a great morning and the students did a fantastic job of creating their aircrafts.

Well done to all participants. 

Here are some photos from the morning.
