Mornington Park Primary School

Weekly Wrap Up - Another stunning week of creative learning

Mornington Park Primary School Weekly Wrap Up!

The wet weather didn’t stop us from enjoying our days at school!

MPPS went 'All In' for National Reconciliation Week with their 6 metre timeline created by the students in Yarning Circle. All classes linked the timeline with truth telling. The junior classes tip toed the 2.5cm it has been since Captain Cook saw fires and interacted with First Nation peoples along the east coast as he sailed on the Endeavour 250 years ago. But they had to make very big jumps to get all the way to 60,000 years and more that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have been caring for Country. The senior students worked out the calculations of metres to cm/mm; how many mm they were on the timeline; how many cm since the Dutch and Spanish explorers sailed the waters to the north, west and south; Yolnu links in Arnhem Land with the Macassan traders from as early as the1500s. We also linked why the 27th May Referendum Day and the 3rd June Mabo Day were so significant to the timeline and disproved the notion of 'Terra Nullius'.

Unfortunately this morning session on Anxiety has been cancelled due to low numbers.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Please don’t stress if you haven’t got a ticket, looks like the link doesn’t work. Happy for you to attend without a ticket.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the Biggest Morning Tea at Mornington Park.

Tomorrow the children can wear a splash of yellow and donate a gold coin. Classrooms will be having their own special morning tea in classes.

Parent and carers are welcome to join the staff at 11.40am in the main staff room for a wonderful morning tea. If you wish to come along, please bring a plate to share.

Below is the link if you wish to donate online or you can donate by cash tomorrow.
