Dear Parents,

You are invited to view our class display of Inquiry houses on Friday 1^st July at 2:45pm. We are setting up a ‘gallery’ in our classroom of the houses that we have been designing and creating in our Inquiry unit this term – Houses/Shelter from Australia’s Neighbouring Countries.

The students are eager to share their designs with you all. We hope to see you there!

A reminder that the year 2/3/4 assembly will be held on Wednesday 22nd June at 10am.

Matter – Change Of State (solid, liquid, gas)

Here are some images of our Science experiment that we carried out on Thursday.  We were investigating the fastest way to melt an ice cube.  We chose 3 heat sources to observe and we found that ice melts the fastest when put in a bowl of hot water.  The time it took was 1 minute 53 seconds.

We described how a solid can melt into a liquid when a heat source is applied.  We wrote predictions, made observations and discussed the importance of fair testing.

The Mothers Day Stall will be on Thursday 5th May, not Friday as advertised before.

Happy Mothers Day to all of the wonderful mothers!

Welcome back to term 2!  We have a busy term ahead with NAPLAN, Wackyathon, Premiers Be Active Challenge, just to name a few.

There will be a number of pupil free days this term along with a public holiday and all of these important dates will be listed on our class newsletter which will be sent home this week.

Today, your child received the new Show ‘n’ Tell roster for this term and their own Premier’s Be Active Challenge form which they can fill in at home.  The students can choose to do 4 weeks or 10 weeks of the  challenge and when they have filled it in, they can bring it back to school and I will pass it onto Ms Pettman.

The NAPLAN tests will be held in Week 2 this term on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  We have been preparing the students in class but if you would like to have a look at some practice examples, here is a useful website.
