🍕 Fractions are everywhere! 🍕
Our students in 1/2 Tame/Rogerson have had a fantastic start to learning about fractions this term. Through pizza activities, fraction manipulatives and hands-on investigations, they have been exploring wholes, halves, quarters and eighths.
Students have been learning how to identify equal parts, compare fractions and discover how different fraction pieces fit together to make a whole. They have also represented their learning through drawings and practical challenges.
From dividing pizzas into equal portions to using materials to model fractions, students have been developing a deeper understanding of how fractions can be represented in different ways.
We love seeing so much mathematical thinking, teamwork and problem-solving in action! 🌟🍕

Our Preps had a fantastic time participating in a tennis incursion today! They had lots of fun learning new skills, practising their hand-eye coordination and having a go at different tennis activities.

A big thank you to Jess from the
Lindisfarne Tennis Club for such a fun and engaging experience! 🎾

Some of our Year 3-6 students recently took part in an engaging workshop with the DeadlyScience Program, exploring the incredible engineering knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through the design of traditional fish traps.

The students were joined by guest presenter Fi Green, a palawa woman who is embarking on a PhD looking at the many tidal fish traps that exist in lutruwita/Tasmania. They were also joined by local fly-fishing expert, Alex Beechey, who talked about another sustainable and very enjoyable way of catching fish.

Working collaboratively, students investigated how fish traps were carefully designed using natural materials to harness water flow, force and energy while sustainably protecting fish populations and caring for Country. They then put their learning into action by designing, testing and refining their own fish trap models in simulated river and coastal environments.

The hands-on session strengthened students' problem-solving, teamwork and engineering skills while highlighting the rich scientific knowledge and sustainable practices that have been passed down through First Nations cultures for thousands of years.

A huge thank you to Deadly Science, Fi and Alex for sharing this engaging learning experience with our students.

Prep Geard have had a wonderful start to the term. We have started to learn about data and statistics where students will learn to collect and show data. We have been enjoying hands on learning, with sand play, stickers and threading being a favourite. We can't wait to have another great term 😊
