Creative Canva

This term 5/6A have been researching different places and environments in Australia. They have spent their time investigating things that threaten, damage or even destroy environments. Students have created a multi-genre Canva presentation about the threats in these environments and how everyone can help to prevent any more damage. Our creations were fun to create and are entertaining, informative and persuasive.

Sail or Jail?

This week in History, the 3/4S researched life in 18th-century England. They uncovered the grim reality of "prison hulks," old naval ships repurposed to house the overflow of prisoners due to rising crime and overcrowded jails. Conditions aboard these ships were severe with widespread disease claiming the lives of 1 in 3 inmates. Eventually, these prisoners were transferred from the hulks to transport ships, which sailed to Australia, where they became part of the early convict settlers.

Ukulele Unison

On Monday our students were involved in a hands-on experience led by Tom Harding from "All Hands on Ukes". Students learnt some ukulele facts, as well as many styles of music including disco, funk, pop and jazz sound great on the ukulele. During the session students worked towards playing their ukulele and gained a better understanding of rhythm, tempo, pitch, tone and harmony. Our staff and students thoroughly enjoyed participating throughout the day.
