Pullenvale State School

WASABI KIDS JAPANESE CULTURAL INCURSION

Our whole school enjoyed an immersive journey into the rich tapestry of Japanese culture during today's incursion.

Our Prep-Year 1 students dived into Japanese culture through engaging activities such as action songs, the Sakura dance, interactive games, traditional clothing experiences, folk tales, origami, and a fun samurai puppet performance.

Year 3 and 4 experienced what a Japanese school sports day looks like, with activities such as the giant ball race, wacky races, ball toss and more.

Year 5 and 6 discovered the secrets of ninja and samurai, exploring codes, meditation practices, and the unique skills of these historical figures through puppetry, interactive lessons, and activities inspired by ancient Japan.

YEAR 5 PEEC EXCURSION

This week our Year 5 students, as part of their biological science unit, turned into Environmental Advocates during their visit to Karawatha Forest. The PEEC excursion's aim is to teach students about the environment by immersing them in exciting stories about people and their strong connections to place. While out in the forest, students became part of a story that they have already begun in class, all the while practicing Dadirri.

YEAR 2 ART CLUB

Our talented Year 2 Art Club artists have had a fantastic term exploring their creativity! The students experimented with a wide range of materials, techniques and artistic ideas and they showed curiosity, imagination and a willingness to try new things. We are so proud of the wonderful artworks they created and the confidence they developed as young artists along the way!

We're looking forward to our upcoming athletics carnivals where The Rich Pour will be on site offering organic Merlo coffees, gluten free hot chocolate and powdered chai lattes, teas and real fruit smoothies.

STUDENT COUNCIL FREE DRESS DAY

Well done team for getting involved in today's Student Council Free Dress Day! We raised $324, which will be directed towards purchasing new musical instruments.

The winners of the best dressed classes are 2WC and 6DY!

Students in 5WI explored the BIG question, “What are the features of the Australian Democracy?” The information gathered was very insightful.

We had some very welcome visitors today to our Year 5/6 block.

Our Year 4 students had the opportunity to visit our Year 5 classes to view their science creature creations and ask probing questions. After making their way around the room, taking in each design, the Year 4s had the chance to share their learnings and preferences.

PRINCIPAL'S MORNING TEA

A select few who have been identified as following our school values consistently this term were celebrated at today's Principal's Morning Tea. Students were presented with a certificate and treated to fruit and lamingtons with Mrs Sherwood.

Congratulations all! (We are proud learners)

Who says you can’t have fun on rainy days?!
