Books in homes, we love books!.

Our favourite miracle stories from the Bible.

We all painted indigenous stories, using dot painting and wrote a short story to go with it!

We love to do our reading groups everyday. We concentrate and focus on our own work. Learn new vocabulary and practicing reading high frequency words.

In August, Year 5-6 students went to Warmun for Culture Camp. Together we explored the culture of the region, visiting significant sites such as the Whipping Tree, Viewng the Kimberley stuatue of Mary and Jesus, the Warmun Art Centre and a Waterhole where the Rainbow Serpent lives. We also went on a bush walk and spent time with students from Ngalangangpum School.

Fun times with our Buddies in 5/6

We are a team and we work together in year 1/2

Working hard in all curriculum areas in year 1/2.

Fun times out and about in 1/2. Excursions around Wyndham.

This term in History we have looked at the Gold rush. We learnt how to pan for gold and in what parts of W.A has gold been found in. We shared some stories of some family members we knew that found gold in Halls Creek. We went out into the playground and tried to find some gold for ourselves.

This semester we have been writing to our Pen Pals from St Mary Mackillop College in Busselton. We have enjoyed teaching the year 5 students about our culture and what we enjoy about living in the Kimberley.

This term we have had great fun each week spending time with our buddies. We have learnt about each other, played blueearth games, had fun answering some quiz questions and enjoying one other's company.

During Week 4 this term, the Year 6 students travelled to Perth for their Graduation Camp. This had been a much-anticipated event all year and it did not disappoint! Whilst in Perth we camped out in the library of our host school St. Columba's. During our week, there we got to join St. Columba's for All Saints Day Mass, an amazing race with the year 6 students and outdoor play in the ECE yard. Our students got a tour of Parliament house which concluded with lunch in the members only restaurant. A very fancy, fine dining experience particularly enjoyed by the teachers. The students loved the view from Kings Park and seeing a piece of the Kimberley (the Boab tree) in the heart of Perth. Unfortunately, it was just a little too cold to go swimming at Cottlesloe beach but that didn't stop us from having lots of fun people watching and tucking in on fish and chips for dinner. Bounce was popular with all and was followed by some shopping. We got to see everyone's favourite animals at the zoo and there were lots of great photo opportunities. After learning about graffiti at school the kids enjoyed finding examples of it throughout the city and discussing the artistic merits of each example. There were many complaints of why we had to leave Perth at all and lots wished they could stay forever. This was taken as an indication of a very successful camp! Thanks to all those who contributed to an amazing week for our students.

Lots of Hands-on Activities Year 1/2.

.

Students in year 3/4 have been learning about fractions. They have been developing their understanding of equivalent fractions using materials.

We have been learning about the History of the Voyage of the First Fleet. Students worked using recycled materials to make a representation of a ship from the First Fleet. They have been learning many facts about the ships.

Aboriginal dancing and music. Lots of fun for Year 5/6 Class.

Capacity - How much a container can hold.

We have been learning about habitats. We had to make up our own new animal and Design a habitat to suit its needs. We had so much fun making and designing these. 

Learning our spelling in different ways in 1/2

It has been a wonderful start to 2016 in the Year 5/6 class. We have already been very busy and at this rate it looks like the term is just going to fly by. We have been to the pool for our class party and Kununurra for Squash. In between all the fun activities we have started our learning; in Maths we have begun looking at 3D shapes, in reading we have been reviewing our comprehension strategies and in writing we have been developing holiday recounts.
Our Year 6 students have also been busy preparing for Leadership selection. They have written and presented their own speeches to the school and been interviewed by a panel of adults where they had to answer questions about what type of leader they will be.
