News from 1C
1C has had a busy start to the term. We are enjoying
reading some of Roald Dahl’s books, such as Esio Trot and
the Twits. We watched the movie of Esio Trot and are
going to make a comparison between the book and the
movie. Our next step is to start writing stories of our own.
Last week we went to Thalgarrah. We had lots of fun
making maps out of rocks, dirt and grasses. We also got to
use binoculars and then created some impressive art works
from our observations. Highlights of our excursion were
when we learnt the basics of basket weaving and meeting
Matt’s python.
We have all been excited about the tennis lessons
continuing this term.
A couple of weeks ago we said sadly goodbye to our
classmate Dakshin as he travelled back to Nepal.

News from 3/4E
This term, 3/4E have been making and exploring the
different features of a 3D object. Below are some
pictures of our learning. We used tooth picks and blu-tac to
create our models.
We have also been using recycled materials to create and
design our own space shuttles. We watched videos of
astronauts from NASA to help guide our designs. We learnt
how an astronaut eats, drinks water, sleeps, uses the toilet
and exercises.
We had to take this learning into consideration when
planning our own space shuttles. We have been working with
3/4M and we are having a blast! We have not finished them
