Nemarluk School

On Friday for the final day of Term 2, the year 6 classes got to go on an excursion to see the V8 Supercars! 🏎🏁 We hope everyone had a great weekend and are enjoying the first week of school holidays! 🎇

To wrap up our 40th anniversary celebrations and the end of semester 1, we had a jumping castle set up for everyone to use. The students, and staff 😉, had a great time! 🌈✨🏰

Have a safe and refreshing mid-year break. See you on Tuesday the 14th July for the start of Term 3!!!

Week 10 Whole School Assembly!
Well done to all students who received a classroom award, and a special congratulations to Zayne Ward for winning the Green Ant Award 🐜 for this term! 🥳

We had a few performances from students as well at this assembly, our satellite classes sang some songs 🎵, Stuart Park 2 presented a poem and a dance 🤠 from their time spent at RDA horse riding 🏇🏻 !!

Have a safe semester 1 break, see you next term! 😊

Students at Manunda 2 had a fantastic time at Manunda Terrace school Sports Day 🏉 in Week 8. They enthusiastically participated in a range of engaging events such as Rob the Bird’s Nest 🐤, egg and spoon races 🥄🥚, sack races and parachute activities 🪂

Throughout the morning, students showed great energy working as a team and cheering each other on as they worked together to complete each challenge ⚡. It was a fun-filled and active morning that not only encouraged participation, but also helped students develop important skills in cooperation, resilience and being a good sport 😊

This term, students in Room 13 have been diving into their learning, working collaboratively and continuing to build their independence, work skills and life skills 👏🌟

Students have especially enjoyed exploring our Celebrations Unit of Work, creating timelines with photos from their journey at Nemarluk School and working together to create a whole-class story using the Book Creator app 📖📸

The class has also been enjoying Let’s Talk and Play sessions, playing games together and going swimming 🏊🎲

Friday transitions to Henbury School have been full of fun and new experiences, including playground time, cooking, bike riding and visiting spaces such as the library and sensory room 😊

Millner 2 class created several artworks to enter into the Litchfield Rural Show Art Competition 🎨🖍. Each student designed an individual artwork piece for the NT subject category, using natural materials to create a rural bushland landscape 🌿🌻. As a class, we also collaborated on a large collage to enter in the Group Mural category.

We are happy to share that Joshua won 1st 🥇and Simon won 2nd for 5 year and under category 🥳! In the 6- 8 year old category, Zayne won 1st place and Dalton won 3rd place 🎉. Our class also won 1st place for the group project! 🏆

In week 8, our Northern Territory Learning Commission presented to our leadership team about having a mobile library at the Nemarluk campus.
We are excited and proud of the work that our NTLC students are doing! 📚🤩

🔢✨ Numeracy in Preschool ✨🔢

In Preschool, students explore numeracy concepts through structured play, rotations and intentional teaching opportunities. Through activities focused on problem-solving, numbers, patterns, shapes, measurement, time, spatial awareness, and technology, students build important foundational skills 📚🧩

Some of our learning experiences include completing puzzles, singing counting songs 🎵, weighing objects ⚖️, counting with one-to-one correspondence 🐸, matching tasks, sorting objects by colour, size and shape 🌈, exploring sensory trays, and rolling dice games 🎲

Activities are completed individually, in small groups, and as a whole class to encourage independence, peer learning, turn-taking, and sharing. These experiences help us support and extend each student's numeracy development throughout the year⭐

This term, as part of celebrating Nemarluk School’s 40th birthday 🎂🎉, students in Room 8 explored games played by children in the past as part of their unit of work.

Students had great fun learning and playing traditional games such as hopscotch and marbles while discussing how children entertained themselves before technology and electronic devices were common. It was wonderful to see students developing teamwork, turn-taking, coordination, and problem-solving skills while experiencing activities enjoyed by previous generations. The students especially enjoyed comparing these old-fashioned games to the games they play today. 🤗

Earlier this term, some of our students attended the Darwin Disability Expo at the Marrara Netball Stadium, where they participated in a wide range of inclusive sports.
This event is always so incredible, the staff and students always have a blast! 🚲😋
