🐣 Hatching Excitement in the 2/3 Classroom! 🐣
This term, our P–3 students have been learning all about life cycles, and what an incredible learning experience it has been!
Each classroom has been incubating eggs, and this week the Year 2/3 class was lucky enough to witness their chicks hatching. Watching the chicks break through their shells and emerge into the world was an amazing experience that brought our learning to life.
These adorable chicks will be available for purchase at our upcoming Giru State School Growers Market at the end of the term.
Be sure to keep an eye out for more updates as our students continue their life cycle investigations! 🐥💛💙

🏐 Netball Carnival 2026 🏐
Today our Year 4/5/6 students travelled to Townsville to participate in the Netball Carnival, joining a huge field of 63 teams from across the region.
Every game provided an opportunity to develop their skills, encourage their teammates and represent Giru State School with pride.
A special highlight was finishing the day with our final game, where both Giru teams had the chance to play against each other. It was wonderful to see all of our students enjoying the game, supporting one another and celebrating their efforts after a busy day of netball.

🏐💙💛

🔬🟢 Science in Action! 🟢🔬
Our Prep and Year 1 students had a fantastic time during Science this week as they explored the properties of different materials by making their very own bouncy balls!
Students followed a procedure, mixed ingredients, observed changes, and tested their creations to see how high they could bounce. There were plenty of excited faces as they discovered how science can be both fun and hands-on.
It was wonderful to see our young scientists asking questions, making predictions, and investigating how materials can change when combined.
Great work, Prep and Year 1! 👏🔬🧪

🐣 Calling on our community! 🐣
Does anyone have a chicken heater/brooder heater that they would be willing to lend to Giru State School for a few weeks?
We currently have eggs in our incubator that are due to hatch this week, and we are looking for a safe way to keep our new chicks warm once they arrive.
If you have one available, or know someone who might be able to help, please send us a message or contact the school.
Thank you for supporting our students and their learning journey! 🐥💛💙
