Over the last few weeks, we have celebrated Book Week, a fire truck visit and have been making electrical circuits in Science. We all had a fun time being creative to celebrate Book Week. S3 presented a door based on the theme “Hats Off to Reading Books… about Zones of Regulation.” We painted the background in the different zone colours and represented different emotions found in the Mr Men books, such as Mr Happy (Peter) and Miss Curious (Gorgia). Angelina produced a wonderful likeness of The Cat in the Hat, too! S4 made some great individualised hats to go with drawings of each student and attached them to their bag rack, with some of the interesting books they have read this term. Tommy made a Naval hat, Henry’s had the letter H on it and Tahlia’s showed how talented she is with design.

We were also lucky enough to experience what it is like to be a Rural Fire Fighter. Some of us wondered why the fire truck was yellow and not red?! We were able to hold the huge hose and point the nozzle, streaming water into the air. We listened to the high-pitched siren and sat in the driver’s seat, pretending to drive the truck to a fire. Most of us could independently use the steps up and into the cab and confidently back down again.

In science we have been experimenting with electrical circuits, using batteries as the power source, wires and loads. We have attached bulbs, fans, magnets and sirens to see them light up, move or make sounds.  It has been challenging and great fun to follow the instructions on how to complete increasingly more involved circuits to see if they work.  

We are doing lots of movement during our play breaks and looking forward to the Colour Fun Run, which will take place on Friday, 10^th November.

Warm regards,

Savannah, Tahlia, Angelina, Tommy, Zane, Ray, Jed, Peter, Henry, Braydan, Marcus, Gorgia, Tegan, Libby, Kerri, Jas, Amie, Kelly and Darren.
