Our grade 1/2 and Prep/1 classes have been hatching chickens! With fertile eggs and an incubator they’ve been watching with great excitement for the big day.
Grade 1/2 were given a creative writing exercise: Imagine you are inside the egg, just before hatching. What happens next?  Have a read of these excellent reports, that earned each [...]

I would like to take this opportunity to mention how fortunate we are to be running the “Go for Your Life Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.”
We started this program in 2007 with funding provided by the state government under the “Go for Your Life” banner.  However, the initial funding amount has now run out, and [...]

Recently in discovery time the children started making glasses from cardboard and cellophane. How the world changed when everything was purple or red!
But why did some colours look black through the cellophane? And what does that have to do with a rainbow?

All children settled into school extremely well. At first they were a little hesitant but it didn’t take long before they were drawing, chatting and playing. Their big buddies have certainly helped them.
All prep children have a big buddy from grade 5/6 who has helped them settle into the routine of school. During the first [...]

The students of 2/3B have started Discovery Time on a Wednesday mornings. They have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the activities and have written some reflections of their learning.

Today I played with Jacinta, Cortney, Caitlyn, Jake, Charlie and Natasha. We all played with the tea set. There were lots of little tea pots. They were very fragile. [...]
