Year Five Excursion

On Tuesday, Year Five went on an excursion to Lanyon Homestead and participated in the Convicts role play program that provided hands-on experience of convict life. Students were introduced to historical enquiry skills, such as examining and exploring different perspectives and different information sources in relation to the 1830s convict era.  The imagined and empathised with the convict experience, and had opportunities to relate their personal experience to life as a convict at Lanyon Homestead.

They participated in hands-on experiences such as sowing, building fences, carting water and planting vegetables. They were able to see buildings that were made by the convicts and investigate artefacts that were unearthed during the convict era in Lanyon, including irons, cups and other cutlery. Thank you to the Year Five teachers for organising this great experience. 

Year Two Excursion

On Wednesday, Year Two students experienced an exciting excursion to Questacon. The students watched an interactive ‘Colour Show’ that explored the science of light and colour.  Students witnessed stunning visual displays, such as colour mixing and the fascinating effects of light on various materials. The show showcased how colour influences our world.

Students explored various hands-on exhibits, including the "Energy Lab," where they experimented with renewable energy sources, and the "Earthquake Simulator," which showcased seismic activities. Overall, the visit to Questacon was a wonderful success, inspiring a love of science in the young minds.
