Vardys Road Public School

🍒 3/4 Cherry have been “hands down” busy learning to tell the time to the minute. The clock has certainly been ticking—time really does fly when you’re having fun! ⏰

6 Turquoise💎 have been learning about natural disasters. They studied techniques used by engineers to design buildings that can remain standing during an earthquake. Students designed and constructed their own model buildings before testing them in an earthquake simulation. The challenge was to create a structure strong enough to remain standing for 45 seconds of simulated shaking.

🎭Years 4-6 were treated to a dynamic presentation of THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WILL, an exciting and interesting play by the BELL SHAKESPEARE company. Our students laughed, learned and were inspired by this wonderful opportunity to engage with the arts! 🎭

B O C C I A F U N !
Vardys Road competed for the first time at the annual Boccia knockout tournament. Selected students from our Support Unit classes played 8 games against other schools showcasing their amazing teamwork and Boccia skills. They had a fun and memorable day displaying resilience, perseverance, playing fairly and comradery. We won a few games, placed 9th in the competition and Miss Kavanagh and Mrs Nathaniel couldn’t be prouder! Well done!

A Day in the Life of K Daisy on Fridays!🌼
Morning sport, followed by dictation, letter tiles, maths, music, health and developmental play — a busy day of movement, literacy, numeracy and collaborative learning.🌟

5 Navy⚓️love borrowing books from the Library and reading for enjoyment in class!

🪻Iris have been learning about money💰
We practised counting and matching money using hands-on materials before taking part in our pretend ice cream shop where we worked on handling money, understanding costs and waiting for change. 🍦
To finish off the week, we visited the Backgate shops where we enjoyed ordering our own ice creams and milkshakes while using our money skills in a real-life setting! 😊
