Classroom Projects As part of our STEM, Science and Technology and Enterprise Integrated Programs, the children worked with a partner to plan and create a habitat diorama. The Pre Primary children created a habitat for a bird, whilst the Year One children created a habitat for our class alien. Each group: Step 1 . Brainstormed a list of natural and built features to include in their habitat. Step 2. Decided on what colours they needed to paint their box, what things they needed to make to place into the box and what materials they needed to make their features. Step 3. Created their habitat diorama. Step 4. Reflected on how similar their habitat diorama was to their plan. Pre Primary Year One
A Fantastic Term Two! Over the last nine weeks, the children have progressed in many areas of development including academic, creative, physical and social and emotional. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the children become responsible for their learning. In Term Two, the children were involved in some exciting events... WA Week As part of the school's celebration of WA Day, each child was asked to bring in a photo of their favourite place to visit in Western Australia. These photos are currently being displayed on signage in Block Four. Super Scientist Competition The Year One children were invited to present a short science experiment or report on a science related topic to their peers. All the children were creative, used their imagination and had fun in preparing and presenting their science experiment or report. Congratulations to Tahlia for being selected by her peers as the top 'super scientist' for Room 7. Junior Assem
