What a great start to term 4.

The students have been busy this first half of the term, learning about the weather and what can occur during different weather events such as drought and floods. The students did an experiment with some Cress. Using three different weather events. Drought – no water was added, Flood – water was added every day and Normal Rainfall – water was added as needed. They enjoyed watching the cress change. The students are also making a weather book by using predicable chart writing to explain the weather events we are learning.

We have joined with JP2 to learn about health. In class we have been talking about being safe and unsafe. The students have gotten to use the parachute outside to learn about directions, when it is safe and unsafe to move about under the parachute and cooperation with their peers.

The most exciting item of term is we have started swimming at Gympie pool. The students have enjoyed the freedom that the water gives them to move about on the pool noodles and floating on their backs. 

This term we welcome Mr Tony to our classroom Mondays and Thursdays. The students have managed very well with the changes and everyone has settled back into school routine after the September holidays.

We are excited about what we will learn in the second half of this term.
