dinosaur petting zoo
art club
The Art Club was commissioned by Mr Albanese to do a very special job! We were asked to create an artwork to decorate the 4 cupboard doors behind the principals desk because they were plain and BORING!
Mrs Goulder and Miss Frazer planned a huge artwork made up of smaller pieces of paper, so that each student could create their own section of the picture. Stage 1 used oil pastels to complete an under the sea scene. Stages 2 and 3 used black and grey materials (charcoal, pastels, pencils, graphite powder, pens, etc) to create a night scene of Sydney with bright New Years Eve fireworks, which covers 2 of the doors. Stage 1 are working on another mosaic style artwork to finish our design. Can you guess what will be on it? |
meet barbie!
At whole school assembly we finally got to find out who Barbie is! She is our new life-size, fibreglass cow and some lucky students will be able to help paint her. Each stage is going to design her a costume so she can wear different outfits depending on her mood (like a real Barbie doll!) Stage 1 students decided that we should create a space costume for her so that we can send her to Vinnie as a source of calcium! If you have any great ideas or could help with creating a space suit, please ask a Stage 1 teacher!
Responsible Pet ownership
We had a special visit this week - from a dog! We learnt how to care for our pets, and some students were chosen to role play what we should do if we meet a scared or angry dog. We learnt lots, and some of our best listeners were chosen to pat the dog at the end of the presentation.

Poem in a pocket
In celebration of Literacy and Numeracy week, students were asked to write and share a poem with other students. We wrote poems about dinosaurs and shared them with Stage 3 classes. Each person who listened to our poem signed the back. We only had to collect 3 signatures but we had so much fun that some of us collected 10!
