What a week!!

Well, week 7 was an incredibly busy week for all of us in Suessville! We started with Japanese fun day where we made Kites, played games, read a Japanese story, attended a Japanese performance and tasted some Udon and Soba noodles. We finished off the week with our excursion to Birrigai. We had an amazing two days where we got to learn how to build tents with just a few sick poles, some rope and a tarp. We built fires and cooked damper on sticks and experienced going to school in the 1950's. There were team challenges where we worked together to solve puzzles and high ropes activities to test our nerves. We finished off with an Early Settlers Simulation where we were put into families and had to earn money to buy a fence for our plot of land, to build a shelter, to build a dam and purchase animals. After all of our hard work, the Governor and his soldiers came to visit each family to inspect their land. 







We are now back at school getting ready for our End of Year Concert this Wednesday, we look forward to seeing you all there!

Science Inguiry - Night and Day

Today we began our new Science inquiry, Night and Day. Students  will be exploreing the sizes, shapes, positions and movements of the Sun, Earth and Moon. They will investigate how shadows change throughout the day and link these changes to the Sun’s apparent movement across the sky. We have already learnt that the sun doesnt actually move but that we move around the sun while turning on an axis.Take a look at one of the interesting clips we watched to help our learning.


What is something you would like to learn more about during our Night and Day inquiry?
