On Monday the 26th of April, year 3 and year 4 went on an excursion to The Rocks in the city.
We got there by two buses, and we got to drive over the Harbour Bridge. When we got there we first dressed up as the captain, free settlers, convicts and soldiers.Then year 3 and year 4 got split into three groups.
We got shown a police station and a cafe but in 1788 it was a hospital. We heard ghost stories about Susan and Old Man Jeff. There were lots of old houses and new houses. We discovered that, when convicts came, they built houses and wrote their initials on the sandstones.
We had our lunch in front of the harbour. After that we had the olympics and a trivia game mixed together! After that we drew an amazing drawing of the harbour in the past and the present. We really enjoyed it, and learned lots more facts for our history unit.

Over the past two weeks in Year 2 we have been learning about how to write a procedural text. We started with Fairy Bread and then ‘Frog in a Pond’. Each week began with the teachers demonstrating how to make each yummy treat, followed by the students creating their own recipe! The children explored how verbs and adverbs can make a recipe really easy to follow. They had so much fun writing their procedural texts and then eating their yummy treats! 🧚🏻🍫😋

As we head into the warmer months Year 1 has started the term with a fun beach focus. Students have enjoyed reading a variety of beach and water-themed books and using these stories to inspire their writing. They explored verbs through the book Jetty Jumping and used lots of descriptive adjectives to write about different sea creatures. The students have had a great time making connections to their own beach experiences and discovering interesting fun facts about life under the sea. 🌊☀️📚🐠🐙🦀🐚
