Performing Arts

Our students had their first day with Mrs Boxwell (our new Performing Arts teacher) this week. They had a great day thinking ahead to the Wearable arts and our theme 'The Desert'. 

These boys had a wonderful time dressing up...

Lip Sync!

Inquiry

The students have been enjoying our new space for Inquiry. Everyone is working in small groups to prepare a presentation about something to do with Space.

Cinema T.V anyone?

Today Mr H worked very hard to install our new T.V! It wasn't an easy job and required him to put a few bits of wood here and there to make it secure. It is the biggest T.V in the school and measures about 70 inches! How lucky are we? :)

A big thanks to Mr H for all his hard work and everything he does to make sure our class spaces have everything they need.

Space - What do you want to know more about?

This afternoon the students got into groups to research something they were interested in about our Space Topic. This included Moons and unknown planets, Venus, Pluto, International Space Station, Supernova, Blackholes and Wormholes! 

We were also very lucky to get our first T.V in the new space. This is portable so we can move it around to different parts of the room. 

Science - From Asteroids to Zero Gravity!

This term for Science are topic is Space - From Asteroids to Zero Gravity!

Yesterday we shared facts about our current knowledge of things related to 'Space'. Each student was asked to share one fact and also come up with a question they are interested to know more about. This is called our Wonder Wall - at any stage, students might like to research this question and add their facts to the booklet.

Today we started tuning and and sharing some more things we knew about the Sun, Earth and the moon. We are currently waiting for our TV in the new learning space, so in the meantime the projector will come in handy!
