Coding

This term as part of homework and Science students have been given access to Code.org.Tthis is an online program that is designed to extend students understanding of computational thinking. 

Students can access this website through the link on the right hand column of the blog, in the 'Important Links' tab. There you will find your child's name, click on their name and select their secret picture. From there you will find Course 1. Students are welcome to work through this course at their own pace, we will be spending some time in the computer labs as well to work through it. 




We are very excited to work with the Ozobots and learn how to code them to complete mazes.

Anzac Day

What a wonderful way to start the term. A fantastic ANZAC presentation by Mr and Mrs Bird.

Mr Bird has been collecting his memorabilia for many years. He comes to visit us every year to share his collection with us. He generously allows students to try on his gear and tells them all about each item. 

The children absolutely love it!
