On Monday, August 3rd, Room 17, 18 and 6 students walked to Seacliff Beach to plant native species in the sand dunes, with the help of councillor Clare Lindop and Alex Guat, Team Leader for Environment and Coast from Holdfast Bay Council. Trees were supplied via a grant through Trees for Life. Over time, the three classes will return to the planting site to water and weed around the plants.
Student Voice in Learning Leaders Riley and Nicolas recently observed a Numeracy lesson with year 3 & 4 students in Room 6.
The task began with a ‘number talk’ focusing on skip counting, starting points and direction of counting. The students were given a variety of open-ended tasks where they choose the ways in which they responded.
OSHC has been busy over the holidays, with not only our Vacation Care Program but the construction of the new verandah. We also want to introduce our Acting Director, Jodie Reading.
Room 3 students enjoy challenges. They think they are: fun, cool, 5 star, difficult, confusing, tricky, easy and hard too!
School drop-off and pick-up
Parents should maintain the 1.5m physical distance between themselves and other adults (parents and teachers) at all times, including school drop off and pick up.
Schools may need to gently remind parents using their app or newsletter, or by placing appropriate markers or signage at the school gate.
Room 18 embarked on a research project of the Murray River as part of our Humanities and Social Sciences Unit. We followed an inquiry focus, asking questions and conducting research on ‘Who uses the Murray River and how do they use it?’ and ‘What are the problems that are associated with the river?’.
We’re always looking to find ways to improve learning outcomes for our students. At Seacliff, we are investigating and reflecting on our teaching practice through the ‘Action Research’ approach.
The Reception children in Room 4 had great fun exploring the school to find different shapes. They used these shapes to help create some wonderful art!
We think the Oval is the best place to play! We love playing on the oval because there is heaps of space.
Room 16 has been working hard and having fun in Writing, Maths, Physical Sciences and Buddy Class. We hope you enjoy some of the work we’re sharing!
