Term 4, Week 9
Location! Location! Location! Wow, what a great day we had at Braeside Park last week as part of our Inquiry unit. The weather was amazing, and the park had so many areas for us to explore. We enjoyed scavenger hunts, ball games, 'nature names' and a great 'Welcome Walk' around the park. Students particularly enjoyed the Adventure Playground and searching for all kinds of cute critters. As the term is drawing to a close, students have been working hard to finalise and consolidate their learning and we are very proud of their behaviour and commitment to having a growth mindset. We hope you are looking forward to the Carols night as much as we are, it is set to be a great night!

This week we continued our INQUIRY topic, 'Location, Location, Location!' focusing on weather and features of the land that are important to certain cultures. We will be continuing our work on weather and forecasts over the next week.
