Ferntree Gully North Primary School

Yesterday, our Prep students enjoyed a wonderful walk to Koolunga Nature Reserve as part of their learning about the environment. 🌿🍃
During our visit, students explored the natural surroundings, observed the plants and wildlife around them, and learned about the importance of caring for our environment. We discussed simple ways we can all help protect nature, including keeping our spaces clean, respecting wildlife, and looking after the world around us.
It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to connect with nature, build their understanding of sustainability, and enjoy learning outdoors together. Well done, Preps, for being such thoughtful and respectful environmental explorers! 🌏💚

Last week to extend on our history learning at school, the Grade 1/2s went on an excursion to Ambleside Historic Homestead. We enjoyed experiencing life as it would have been in the past and learning about the history of the local area.

Last week, our school held a giant cereal box domino run. It was a wonderful afternoon and as a community we have donated a whopping 296 boxes of cereal! A huge thank you to all who donated. The boxes have now been distributed among the community to families in need. Keep your eyes peeled for the video to follow 🙂

Today we celebrated our amazing ES staff for their dedication, kindness, and the incredible support they provide every day. Their hard work, care, and commitment help create a positive and inclusive learning environment where all students can learn, grow, and thrive. We are so grateful for everything they do to support our school community. 🍦 🍨

The Grade 5/6 students had an exciting camp to Sovereign Hill where they stepped back in time to experience life during the gold rush. Students tried their luck panning for gold and were thrilled to find small specks in the water. They also explored how the goldfields helped shape Australian democracy, learning about the events that led to fairer rights and representation for miners. It was a fantastic trip of hands-on learning, history, and excitement.

Prep Alphabet parade!! 🍎 🐘 🤴

Today the 1/2 students commemorated Anzac Day by making Anzac biscuits. We learnt about the history of the biscuits and enjoyed baking and eating them!

Lest we forget.

The Grade 3/4’s have been learning about angles. They have classified angles using their properties as acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex or a full revolution. They loved sharing their understanding with chalk!
