Fairburn School

A huge congratulations to our netball team who competed last week! They faced some tough competition, but their teamwork, positive attitude, and non-stop hustle paid off. Thank you to the coach and the amazing parents who came out to cheer the team on. We are so proud of you all!

Our thinkers in room 17 have been diving deep into the world of maths by exploring increasing and decreasing patterns! Amazing stuff!

Of all the pages we turn during the week, our favourite ones are always at the library! Every week room 31 gets to explore new worlds, meet unforgettable characters, and stock up on fresh adventures. This class is officially hooked on reading!

Swipe through to see some of our favourite moments from last week's Samoan language week. Let’s keep sharing the beautiful Samoan language every day!

Talofa lava! 👋🏽✨ This week, our school has been alive with music, dance, and beautiful cultural pride as we celebrate Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa (Samoan Language Week)! 🇼🇸 Our students and staff have embraced this year’s theme, embedding the language and traditions into our daily school life. From practising key phrases in class to enjoying weaving, playing a game of lape and grating taro. It has been an incredible week of learning and connection. A massive fa'afetai tele lava to our amazing Samoan students, families, and staff who led the celebrations and shared their beautiful culture with us all.

Last week was all about celebrating Africa day through art! Room 6 spent the week exploring the incredible colors, symbols, and storytelling found in African beadwork. The best part? The kids got to design and string their own inspired bracelets and necklaces! Wow! Way to go, Room 6!

Room 21 class turned into a full-blown artist studio last week as they brought their sculpture ideas to life. Swipe to see the journey from paper blueprints to sticky, scrunched masterpieces! We couldn’t be prouder of these little sculptors. Awesome work!

This week, Room 17 class took inspiration from Virginia King’s stunning nature-based sculptures. The students have been busy combining geometric patterns with natural forms, learning how art can help us appreciate our environment. We love seeing their creative minds (and busy hands) at work! 🎨❤️

A massive, heartfelt thank you to the wonderful folks at the Rotary Club for visiting our school last week. They generously gifted our year 4 students with their very own dictionaries! From "adventure" to "zealous", our kids are already hunting for their new favourite words. Swipe to see some of those proud, book-loving smiles! ️❤️
