On Wednesday the 20th, Grade 4 students enjoyed an exciting excursion to the Melbourne Museum, taking their learning beyond the classroom walls. The day began with a visit to the IMAX theatre, where students watched an inspiring documentary featuring Jane Goodall and learned about the positive impact individuals can have on the world around them.
Throughout the day, students explored a range of fascinating exhibits, including the First Peoples Gallery, Melbourne Story, the Forest Gallery, and the new Our Wondrous World exhibition. The excursion was a wonderful opportunity for students to deepen their understanding through hands-on learning and discovery. Overall, the students had a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

On Friday 8th May, students in Grade 3 and Grade 5 participated in an African Drumming incursion. This hands-on incursion gave our students the opportunity to explore rhythm, music, and movement in an engaging way, whilst building confidence and cultural awareness.

🏀 Year 5 Wheelchair Basketball Incursion 🏀

On Monday our Year 5 students participated in a Wheelchair Basketball incursion run by Basketball Victoria.
Students were able to see and participate in activities that give them a first hand view of how sport is played by athletes with disabilities.
A great deal of fun was had practising how to move, racing and turning before bringing these skills into a match of wheelchair basketball.

What a fantastic opportunity for our students!

This week Grade 1 students attended their Toys Over Time Incursion.

Students explored the histories, facts and design variables across a range of toy themes, and discover how toys have evolved by exploring their movements, cultural significance and their place and time in history.

It was wonderful to see them engaged and curious about classic toys they have never been exposed to, as well as some modern favorites.

Grade six students have been working in pairs to create a Paper Mache Underwater animal. Stay tuned for how they turn out in the coming weeks!
