Wai care- water testing in the gully

We went down to our beautiful gully to do some water testing to check if our gully is healthy. We found out that the water needs to meet the 5 C's, clean, cool, clear, critters and current.  

We found out our water is quite healthy for a residential area.  

Wai care- Stacey's visit

Stacey came to talk to us about looking after the water in our gully.

She will be coming back to help us test the quality of water in our gully.  Do you think our gully water is healthy? Why? Why not?

AKO - Reciprocal Learning

This term we have been learning about what AKO means - reciprocal learning. We now understand that you can learn from anyone at anytime. We were challenged to teach the class something that we were skilled/knowledgable about. Some of our parent even came and got involved too! Thanks to everyone that got involved and share their skills, we have learned so much from one another.

We had our swimming sports this week.  It was great to put all our skills to the test! What was your favourite part about the day?

Swimming has started for Rm 35. We are enjoying some time in the pool to improve our swimming skills. Take a look....

Meeting our buddy class / Room 7

Our Trip to Corban Art Centre to do 'Selfies'.

We headed our to Henderson the Corban Art Centre today to get creative!  We got the chance to make cardboard selfies.  Firstly, we learned how to draw our silhouette with a buddy, then began cutting that out.  Next, we looked in the mirror and began drawing our faces.  We now know how to ensure our faces are realistic - putting our ears, eyes and nose in the correct places.  Feel free to drop in and see our work sometime. 

 

Here are the wonderful bunch of learners in Room 35.
