STEM

As part of our Science program, students have enjoyed using the electronic invention kit called 'Makey Makey'. We have been using different materials and identifying conductors to control a program on the computer. The students have had a lot of fun with this whilst learning about electrical circuits and some coding.

NAIDOC Week

 During Week 2, we celebrated NAIDOC week by participating in a variety of activities. On Monday, students attended a special assembly and sang an Aboriginal song. Two of our students, Travis and Zanetta, had the opportunity to help make a 'Bush Tucker Garden'. 

We got together with our buddy class to complete a mapping exercise with names in the Noongar language. The students love working together and learning new words. 

In class, the students have been reading Aboriginal stories and drawing storyboards to reflect the main events. We will be using these storyboards to write a narrative retell of the story in writing.

Creative Coins




The Term 2 Student Representatives completed their fundraising during NAIDOC Week. Students were asked to lay their coins in the design of a boomerang. All money raised by the Reps went towards the Year Six leavers gift.

Principal's Challenge Term 2

Congratulations to Room 11 on winning the Principal's Challenge for Term 2. A superb effort from everyone to win the challenge two times in a row. Congratulations to Holly, Shiam, Falencia and Alona, who made the top 10 of Year 6 students.

Congratulations to the students in Room 11, (Travis, Declan, Sava, Logan, Kyah and Olivia) who were appointed as Student Reps. for this term. We are looking forward to working with all the Year Sixes in this group. Students have already successfully started their jobs and met with Ms Roberts to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities and the school expectations.

Super Scientist

Congratulations to all the students for their presentations of a science experiment. The class enjoyed listening to the explanations and asked some searching questions. A special mention to Luke, Yasaman and Logan who represented Room 11 for the Year Level Challenge.

The winning presentation for the Year Six experiment was Francis, who will be demonstrating his experiment on Wednesday, at the whole school assembly.

Lesmurdie Senior High School Transition Day

On Monday, the students visited Lesmurdie Senior High School for a transition day. The students learned how to read a timetable and navigate their way around the school. We caught up with some previous students at lunch who were able to talk to students about how quickly they settled into the school. The different groups visited the Performing Arts Centre, the music rooms, the design and engineering rooms.

Constable Care

As part of our Health program, students have been investigating road safety and cyber safety. In Week 7 we watched an entertaining sketch by members of the Constable Care program. Students were reminded of the need to be wary of sharing passwords and passing on any information to people we have never met. More information on cyber safety is linked on this blog.
