In science, Elders used their cooperation skills to classify animals into groups using branching tree diagrams.

During ‘Harvest Week’ we have done some harvest cooking, written some autumn and harvest themed poems and enjoyed doing harvest art. We hope you enjoy our short film presentation.
We started the week with some harvest cooking. Elder class made tomato soup and vegetable soup to sample in class and an apple crumble each to take home and enjoy.

In science, Elders discovered the visible rainbow when sunlight is refracted through a prism. They made their own colour wheels. When the strings were pulled the colours merged.

In science we learnt about refraction and completed two experiments to show the optical illusions refraction can cause.
We had our first whole school assembly of the year! It was via Zoom and we all agreed that Mrs Lamb did a great job! It was funny seeing the other children in their classrooms on our whiteboard.
