The Sky Is The Limit In Fourth Class!

The Sky is the Limit!
4th class really challenged their growth mindsets and patience last month by creating a paper maché hot air balloon over the course of 3 weeks!
They all tackled brand new concepts, accepted new challenges and showed fantastic perseverance. The results of these fantastic efforts are now hanging around the school stairways.
Well done 4th Class!

Art Class Outside!

4th class took their Art lesson outside last week, focusing on shading and shadows. The children explored Herbert Park and captured an image using their Ipad. They practiced taking photos from different angles and compared and contrasted the pictures. Once the children completed their picture they then went on a hunt to find materials in the environment to frame their pictures!

 

Lava Lamps with 2nd Class!

2nd class combined science (materials and change) and literacy (explanation writing) last week to make some very impressive lava lamps. You can watch their lovely lamps here.
