Please bring in a toy for Week 2 science. Grade 1 students are beginning to investigate moving parts and require a variety of toys that can be handed around to other students for observation. There is no need to buy new toys and it is probably best if the toy is not expensive, fragile or sentimental. Thanks for your assistance!

Welcome back to Term 4! Walk to School will be recommencing this Friday, the 12th of October. It will be perfect weather to get your body moving and coming to school actively. Please meet at the corner of O’Neil rd at 8:20am. See you all then!

Just a reminder that our Open Night is on tonight between 6pm and 7:30pm. Feel free to pop into your child’s classroom at some stage during the night to check out all the great things they’ve been doing. You are also encouraged to have a wander through other year levels to see what is happening through the school. This may give you an idea of what your child might be doing in the not too distant future and will help you familiarise yourself with our lovely school.

A Zoo? Here at Beacy?     Our budding Designers in Grade One are diving in to the process of creating amazing enclosures for zoo animals. They have been brainstorming ideas for the animal they would like to create a home for and what they need to consider for the animals, viewers and staff at a zoo. They will be learning that design is a process that cycles through stages:  Investigating; Generating; Planning and Managing; Producing; and Evaluating. As the process moves along, we will need your help to ensure your child has the materials they need to make their model.  More news to come soon.  Students will be thinking critically, collaborating, communicating and creating to build amazing models…. and they are getting excited!

Brainstorming on the Intereactive TVs

1N thoroughly enjoyed having a week of Rainbow Lunches. They enjoyed reading the book and learnt the importance of having rainbow foods in their lunch boxes as well as some treats throughout the day. 🙂 

1W got into the spirit of Rainbow Lunches and for a whole week had delicious healthy foods. Our classroom has never looked so bright! Well done everyone.

1W had a great time using their problem solving skills to build a wall that Humpty Dumpty wouldn’t fall off. It was fantastic to see teamwork, persistence and resilience being displayed during the construction process. Humpty Dumpty has never been safer! Well done everyone 🙂

Well done to 2A and 2K for for loading the lunch boxes with colour in week 4 and 5! We look forward to what 2F will have in their lunch boxes next week!
