Technology and Enterprise

In T & E, we designed a coin that was to represent the Bell Tower, a significant Western Australian landmark. We used skewers to etch our designs into air dry clay and painted them. We then evaluated our products to see how effectively our coins met the success criteria.

Homework Folders

It is an expectation that students being their folder to class each day. Recently, many students have been leaving these at home, making the timely distribution of homework and correspondence difficult. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure they have the equipment they need each day.

Life Ed Van

In Week 6, we had a visit from the Harold the giraffe in the Life Ed Van. Harold and Karen taught us about medicines and how to use them safely. We also talked about feelings and things we can do to make ourselves feel better if we’re feeling a bit down. Here are some of the things we learnt:

Investigating Scientifically

In Science, we have been learning about shadows. We conducted an experiment to observe how Sammy the Snail’s shadow changed throughout the day. We concluded that as the sun moved, so did his shadow. It started to the left of Sammy, moved behind him at midday, before ending up behind Sammy. 

This week, we are going to be making shadow sticks to further observe how shadows change throughout the day.
