We enjoyed a wonderful brisk walk to Banksia village yesterday where we shared two of our favourite festive songs: I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas and Peace in My Fingers. Our Kindergarten students sang just beautifully and the gathered crowd of residents thoroughly enjoyed it - especially the delivery of love at the end. The children enjoyed an icepole treat from Banksia before we headed back to school. You can hear these songs at our K/1 Christmas assembly on Friday in the school hall from 11:40am - all welcome!
For our last STEM session of the year, we made our way up to the Year 6 classrooms to take a look at one of their STEM challenges - a marble run! Our Kindergarten students were delighted to see that STEM works the same way whether you are in Kindergarten or Year 6 - Criteria, Cooperation, Creativity and Problem Solving. After viewing the awesome marble runs, we went back to Kindergarten and made whatever we liked. There was a wonderful array of creations - stethoscopes, trains, buses, community drum kits and even our own marble runs! It was a lovely way to finish the year of STEM. Dear Parents,
Kindergarten students will not be attending the Presentation Day Assembly as they do not receive any awards and it gives a little more space for the other students to sit more comfortably. Thank you. A few months back, KW submitted an application to win a new Active Panel board for the classroom. Take a look at our fun video submission below... Last week, we were fortunate to have a HUGE box arrive - with a new board inside!! A big thank you goes out to Mr Hounsell and Mr Dallas for getting the board up and going.. and to KW for their hard work. The new board is wonderful! |
