On Monday 29 March, 40 Seacliff Primary students headed to the Brighton Lacrosse Club to play in a carnival against a variety of schools. This carnival was a great way to introduce these students to lacrosse and expand their skills in a sport that some of them haven’t played a lot of.
On Wednesday March 24, Seacliff Primary School celebrated Harmony Day and the Japanese festival of Hanami with dramatic dances and a picnic lunch. Families were invited to attend and we would like to thank all of those who came and made it a real community event.
This semester Room 1 have been learning about the past and how daily life has changed due to the use of technology. Students have been comparing family life, toys, the way we communicate and transport.
We have had a lot of fun investigating the differences! Through reading books set in the olden days, watching short videos and researching, we have been able to design our own olden day toys and use our art skills to draw a horse and cart.
During the beach excursion, students investigated which types of plants and creatures survive in different zones closer to or further away from the water, examined soil samples from different zones, identified plants and creatures washed up on the beach, imaginatively created their own creature that was somehow adapted to survive in the area and designed their own anti-erosion invention.
This term, Room 16 has been learning about Forces for our Physical Sciences Unit. Students are expressing an interest in this topic and enjoy sharing their own experiences and understanding of forces in and around their home and school environments.
Together, we have been learning how a force acts on an object to make it move in different directions. Some of these forces include ‘push’, ‘pull’, ‘gravity’, ‘resistance’ and ‘lift’.
On Friday the 5th of March 102 Seacliff students in years 4 to 7 headed to Glenelg Beach to play in a beach volleyball carnival against a range of different schools. It was fantastic to see the excitement leading up and throughout the day of the carnival. Students had been focusing on volleyball during their PE lessons and had been using their own time to continue practicing with their team.
At Seacliff Primary School, students in Years 5, 6 and 7 comprise our Student Voice in Learning project team. Our students are empowered to fully and proudly participate in school life. By building in student voice opportunities across all aspects of learning, students can engage, participate, lead and learn.
