Our Assembly Item

Preparing for our One fish, Two Fish Assembly item was so much fun! It became our Art, our Mathematics, our Speaking and Listening and our team work. The children had a great time making their own costumes. They painted and glued their scales on making a pattern with their coloured circles. They did such an amazing job! We had some help along the way, though. Ms Vandenberg and Mrs Angileri kindly spent an afternoon making the paintings into fish. We had more help too. Mrs Kiff (mum to Seraphine, Cadence and Lyric) made us some head pieces out of felt. Then it was almost time for the stage! The children could hardly contain their excitement. Finally, it was time! We hope you enjoyed our performance! We certainly did.

A Bird’s Eye View

In Geography this term we have been looking at maps of the local community and trying to understand what it means to have a “bird’s eye view”. The children created models of towns from a bird’s eye view using Lego, Duplo or recycled materials. Their creations really showcased their understanding of what a “bird’s eye view” is.

Learning about Area

Earlier this week we started a discussion in Maths about Area. We found that area is a surface that can be measured. To measure the area of a surface, you need to cover it completely, without gaps or overlaps, using the same measuring tool. First we measured the area one of our students would have if he was lying on the floor. The children were then given the task of finding the area of a surface in the classroom. They chose the area they were to measure and the tool they would measure with. They chose very wisely! Today, the children continued the investigation of area by comparing. They needed to use the language of larger/greater area and smaller area.
