Using Science to Understand Our World

Term 2 Welcome to Term 2 and welcome to Sara Burrows our Year 1 student. She has been very busy taking the students through the fair testing process for our 'in school' science fair at the end of this term. As it is winter Milo Mondays are back on offer. Children are enjoying this start to the week. We had a successful camp in Term 1 and are now focusing our energies on Cross Country, Character Portraits, Visual Mihi and for PE - throwing and catching. Our class is hoping to hold a netball tournament at the beginning of Term 3 - so netball skills will also be on the agenda. We also have cooking groups every Friday and have enjoyed some very scrumptious food. We have a busy year of science. Not only will we be participating in the science fair, but as a class we will be exploring the many aspects of science. We will start off in Term One with the living world. Checking out some wonderful ideas on evolution, classifications, adaptations and ecology. The class had an interesting visit to our locall stream - where Mel introduced us to a variety of stream critters. Chck out our inquiry learning page for more information on what the chidren are doing.
