PLANET EARTH AND BEYOND INQUIRY LEARNING







Our new focus chosen by our Ninjas in our Inquiry learning journey under the topic Pride in Planet Earth and Beyond is finding out How Rockets work? 
The learning goal of this inquiry will be to find out how rockets work and then design and create a rocket powered by water. 

The first phase of our inquiry is creating a KWL chart.

Then its the big task of researching and finding out important information they will need in order to create a Water Powered Rocket.

 

 

 

We used our digital devices (chrome books) to help us find the information we need. 
We also worked in our inquiry groups so we didn't have to do it alone. Working together in our inquiry groups makes it easier because we can share and discuss ideas. 
Check back in next week to see how our groups are getting along.

Ice Cream Fundraiser - 11th November





Helping out with the High Flyers Ice Cream Fundraiser
Our Ninja's got to put their mathematical skills to use this week helping out with tallying of ice cream orders ensuring that the total sum of orders are correct. 
They did a wonderful job!


 

The ice-cream fundraiser was a real success with so much support from our peers. The High Flyers managed to raise $790.40 which will go towards their Year 6 Camp and Year 5 EOTC (Education Outside The Classroom) activities.

The girls were on the bikes today and the boys are going for a jog.






Positive Puberty Plus Education

delivered by

Our Ninjas combined with the Majestic Manus learned a lot about the changes that their bodies will go through when they go through Puberty. 
To help us deliver this program Nikki from Nest Consulting did an amazing job. Helping our students learn about puberty in a very safe and friendly environment.
This was done through slideshow presentation, group discussions, team quiz games, and through a lot of questions.
It was great to hear a lot of questions asked by our students about subjects they weren't really sure and confused about.
