On Thursday the 26th 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.
What a great week!
