STUDENT PERSPECTIVE

PRIMARY SRC REPORT YEAR 2: GAVIN & ANORAH

This term in Year 2, we have been learning about the environment. We've been talking about what people and animals need to survive, like food, water, and shelter, and how that ’ s different from things we want, like toys or lollies. It ’ s been fun learning about the difference between wants and needs, and we understand now that we need the basic things to live, but we don ’ t always need the extra things. In our reading lessons, we compared two books: The Three Little Pigs and The Three Little Pigs New Neighbour. We really enjoyed this because both stories were about pigs, but the new neighbour book was a little different, and it was fun to talk about how the stories were the same and how they were different. It helped us think more about characters and how they can change a story. In writing, we ’ ve been working on creative narratives. We learned that stories need a problem and a solution, and we also need to have exciting characters and settings. We really like making up stories, and now we know how to add a problem to make my story more interesting. We can ’ t wait to share our stories with our friends and teachers. We ’ ve been missing our Year 2 teacher Leah who is on holidays. As part of the Primary SRC, we ’ ve been working with Ms Hayton on a proposal for a school disco in Term 3. It ’ s going to be so much fun, and we're excited to see how it turns out! We ’ ve also organised a Winter Woolies Day for Thursday, June 5th, where everyone can wear their cosiest clothes. We think it will be a great way to stay warm and have fun while raising money for our school, so don ’ t forget to bring a gold coin donation!

This term has been really exciting, and we're looking forward to all the fun activities we still have to come!

SECONDARY SRC REPORT YEAR 8: HIYA & JANA N

In week 1 of this term the Year 7 and 8 cohorts went on an excursion to the Melbourne Museum, as part of our Connection to Country learning for LOTE, which was a fun experience to learn about Australia ’ s past. In the museum we explored the First People ’ s gallery, the Forest Gallery, the Melbourne Story exhibition and another exhibition that took us back 600 Million Years. In week 2, the Year 8 girls had an incursion for a drone program named “ She Maps ”, where they learnt about different jobs that are used with drones, and they also got an opportunity to operate drones. The Year 8’ s have just started a Math CAT on decimals, fractions and percentages, we are all looking forward to demonstrating how much we have learnt.
