It has been a fantastic term, Students have been so engaged in their Inquiry topic ‘Food Matters’ and learning about where our food comes from. The Year 1 students, enjoyed baking bread from scratch and finding out where the ingredients came from. One of the highlights was tasting the warm, crunchy, delicious bread, with toppings!

Math Fun – Learning about Area
This term, The Grade 3 classes have been further learning about the concept of measurement and measuring the area of a shape. Students have been using familiar metric units and grid paper to calculate the area of shapes.
