VISUAL ART

Our Grade 2 students have been busy putting their artistic and mathematical skills to work as they design and build their very own robots using found and recycled materials. Throughout the unit, students have explored how shapes, lines and forms can be combined to create imaginative designs, while using measuring skills to help bring their ideas to life.

It has been wonderful to see their creativity, enthusiasm and problem-solving skills shine! Students have experimented with a variety of materials, adapted their designs and shown fantastic persistence and resilience along the way. We are so proud of the imaginative robots they have created! 🤖✨

YEAR 3

3NH had a fantastic time taking part in a mini–Commonwealth Games organised by our wonderful Year 6 students! The 6JC team showed fantastic leadership as they guided our year 3 students through a range of fun activity stations. Each group represented an assigned country and had the opportunity to compete, earn medals and cheer each other on along the way. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, teamwork, encouragement and friendly competition throughout the afternoon. 3NH absolutely loved the experience and had so much fun! A huge thank you to 6JC for creating such an enjoyable, engaging and memorable opportunity for our class. 🏅
