Term 4

This term has started off at a crazy pace with lots of activity going on in the Senior Unit. With that being said the blog has taken a bit of a back seat but now it is time to get back into it.

 
Here we are at the start of Week 3. With only 7 more weeks left in the year there is still plenty to keep us busy. This week is no exception. Before we delve into this week lets reflect on the previous 2.
 
Exhibition was a great success for the Year 7's. Over the last 2 weeks they have completed their research and created an exhibit to show what they had found out. It was an excellent way to show their learning and skills they have developed over their time at school. On Wednesday we had the Exhibition night which provide the Year 7's an opportunity to share their knowledge and hard work with family and friends.
It has been a wonderful experience and has shown of the talent of the Year 7's.
 
Not to be out done, the Year 6's have had a big focus on government and have been looking at change and conflict and how it impacts on laws. They have looked at different events from history and how these have influenced this change.
 
Saturday saw the Senior students participate in the School Fair. Well done to all involved and the creativeness of the trash band.
 
This week will see things returning to some sort of normalcy. Home classes will be working together again and we will be starting our last Unit of Inquiry for the year. This unit begins on Tuesday with our excursion to the Museum and St Peter's Cathedral. It will be a great journey and chance to explore items of cultural significance.
 
More to be revealed as the week progresses.

On Thursday the Year 6's will have a chance to visit parliament house to explore more about government. This is an all day excursion and we ask that you follow the guidelines on the note provided last week.

While the Year 6's are away, the Year 7's will be continuing to work on their exhibition. This week they will be finishing creating their Central Idea and Lines of Inquiry. From here the exhibition really begins.

Friday is the Blast Cricket. This is taking a different format this year but it is expected a number of students will be participating in this activity. More information will come to hand this week. Stay tuned.

Have a good week and watch out for more information.

School Photo Day

Just in case you missed it, school photos are this Thursday. A note went home tonight about what to wear and about payment of photos. It should be pretty quick and painless process that will produce great pics.

Check out the Story

At times we like to put on some of the work we have been doing in the Unit.
Here is an example of some students work in the form of a book reading.
We hope you enjoy.
