3D Shapes

As part of our shape unit, some students made 3D shapes using toothpicks and blue tack. A challenge was to make a shape with 8 faces! Did anyone succeed? Have a look at the photos!

Tesselations

A tesselation is an arrangement of shapes where all sides are touching- there are no gaps. Have a look at the tesselations some of the children made!

Excursion to Yarrambat Park

We had a great day at Yarrambat Park exploring the local area and learning about the water cycle. During the day we had four activities including a scavanger hunt, fishing at the lake, painting the local scenery and a hoop discovery walk. See some of the photo's from the day!

Science Day

It was a cold, windy, rainy day at Yarrambat Primary School. Sadly, our excursion to Yarrambat Park was postponed due to the weather and we participated in Science day at school instead. Have a look at some of the children making slime with cornflour, water and food dye!

We had special guests Brent Harvey, Michael Furrito and the North Melbourne Mascot Roo Ruckle! Congratulations to Mika for winning a signed footy for his outfit consisting of a collection of Brisbane Lions hats. Check out the photos!

Homework

This week Middle School had an exciting maths homework task of doing some cooking with their family and bringing in a sample. This was the maths task as it encouraged the children to think about volume and capacity when measuring ingredients. We had some fantastic cooking including white chocolate and raspberry muffins, apple pie, smoothies, pancakes and choc-chip biscuits were a popular choice. Have a look at some of the samples!
