This term Grade 4/5 are focussing on a unit of work titled ‘Earth and Beyond.” During the recent Term holidays many of the students began looking at the night sky. They focussed on making observations of the moon, stars and other things happening in the night sky.

Belle was excited, she saw the craters on the Moon using a telescope. Lilac, Hugh and Alfie spotted a satellite moving across the night sky. Allanah saw a group of satellites in the night sky. Indika spotted the Southern Cross constellation.

Last night we saw the Super Moon, it looked really big and appeared really close to Earth. We are looking forward to seeing the Blue Moon.

The children are beginning to work like scientists by making observations.

In the first week we investigated the following question – “How is Earth similar to a boiled egg?”

Check out the images below – students dissecting a boiled egg, checking out the layers, drawing and annotating diagrams. We used diagrams of the Earth’s layers to assist us with our investigation.

Some conclusions we came to –

The Earth is like a boiled egg because it has layers like the Earth. The egg’s shell is like the Earth’s crust the egg white is like the Earth’s mantle and the egg’s yolk is like the Earth’s outer and inner core.

They are not alike because and egg and Earth are not the same shape. An egg is not the same size as the Earth and you can’t boil the Earth. ( Emma Truran)

This week we have continued to investigate changes that occur on Earth such as the water cycle, weather, climate and seasons. We will investigate further the solar system, focussing on features such as sunrise / sunset and components such as the sun, moon and planets and their interactions.

Save the Date - DISCO!!!

The Parents and Friends Disco is coming up on Friday 1^st September.

More information will be sent home in the coming weeks.

A very big thank you to all the volunteers who came out to Bunnings Kingston this Sunday to help with the BBQ fundraiser!!

Everyone really put in a lot of effort to make the day run smoothly and events like these could not happen without the support of volunteers.  These events are a great way to have fun and get to know other parents in the school.

$1000 was raised, which will go to the Parents and Friends Association where it is used for much needed projects around the school.

Thank you very much,

Megan

Synopsis:
While the chickens on evil Mrs. Tweedy’s farm dream of a better life, a clever hen named Ginger (voice of Julia Sawalha) is hatching plans to fly the coop – for good!. The only problem is, chickens can’t fly… or can they? Every escape attempt goes fowl until Rocky (Mel Gibson), a smooth-talking all-American rooster crash lands into the coop. It’s hardly poultry in motion when Rocky attempts to teach Ginger and her fine feathered friends to fly… but with teamwork, determination and a little bit o’cluck, the fearless flock plots one last daring attempt in a spectacular bid for freedom [from DVD cover].
