The results have been absolutely fantastic and I can’t wait for you to see them! Meanwhile here is a sneaky peek…! (refer to photos) Grade Three and Four students have been experimenting with chalk pastels to create a drawing of a koala in its habitat. Some are painting backgrounds with leaves and branches, some are creating collages using the painted paper created in previous lessons, and some will make 3D koala heads attached to a 3D branch with gum leaves. Grade One and Two students are continuing to work on their koala faces. I can’t wait to see their portraits once they are assembled!
Students are continuing to work on their Drawing units this term.įoundation students have been drawing and painting their self portraits and are about to create the background using lots of coloured paint! This time, they will be painting without using a paint brush! How crazy is that?!! Students have been creating textures in their painted backgrounds using different utensils to carve into the paint. During the year, it is beneficial for them to wear appropriate shoes on their HPE day and also have a drink bottle. It is a requirement that the students have a hat during Terms 1 and 4 for outdoor HPE activities. This term we have discussed safety when playing sport, the importance of hydration and best practice in the hot weather. This includes discussing the health benefits of physical activity and mental health wellbeing. The Health component is also a major element of the Program. The Grade 5 and 6 students have been learning the skills of basketball and will be beginning a unit on AFL shortly. The Grade 3 and 4 students have been focusing on a netball unit where they have been learning the rules and skills associated with netball. They are learning the fundamentals of running, skipping, jogging and galloping. The Foundation to Grade 2 students have played with a variety of balls and have been consolidating bouncing and throwing. We had a marvelous time at the Melbourne Museum, and did some fantastic creative writing about it the next day at school!ĭuring Term 1 in Health and Physical Education, the students have had many experiences learning new skills and consolidating already learnt skills. We even got to use some of our senses whilst exploring the creepy-crawlies in Bugs Alive! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing, hearing and smelling the world of insects, spiders, snails and other invertebrates.Some of us made connections to experiencing the historic Puffing Billy. Two steam train models were made of different materials- one wooden and the other metal.Interesting fact: Cork was a suitable material for capturing the decayed character of classical architecture! A small cork model of the Colosseum in Rome, made by Richard Du Bourg around 1775, is the oldest model in the Mini Mega Model Museum.
