Classroom Update

Kindergarten and Year 1/2

Today Kinder and 1/2 participated in Australia's Biggest Child Safety Lesson run by the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. Students learnt about permission and consent and that they are the boss of their own bodies. Students also acted out how they could ask permission and how they could give or not give consent.

This afternoon, students started working on their body safety booklets exploring different situations they are would say Yes and No to. Some of these situations include, getting a hug from another child, sharing their toy, sitting on an adult's lap, and having their photo taken.

Year 3/4/5

Friday fun - Last Friday year 3/4/5 participated in some open ended challenges during mathematics.

Some of the tasks included cutting a piece of paper to make it the longest, trying to calculate how many coffees the teachers drink in a week at SFX, calculating the amount of time they have spent at school including days, hours, minutes and seconds. We had a competition to see who made the longest piece of paper with our winner being Gemma.

During movement breaks over the last couple of weeks, the favourite game to play is dodge ball. Lots of team tactics, and movement skills are necessary to stay in the game. From dodging, catching and hitting your target.

Year 6

Year 6 student's have been learning home economic skills. At its core, Home Economics is about home management. This covers many subjects, such as human development, personal and family finance, housing and interior design, food science and preparation, nutrition and wellness, textiles and apparel, and consumer issues. Students have explored cooking lessons over the past couple of weeks, and are now diving into textiles. While the year 6 boys had extra transition, the girls were able to relax and master some sewing skills using embroidery.
