*** DESIGN-O-SAURS ***

Our Early Years students put their engineering skills to the test today as they worked collaboratively on a Brick Challenge using the Engineering Design Process!

Working in teams, students planned, created, tested, and refined their designs to build a dinosaur that met the criteria and constraints of the challenge. Through teamwork, creativity, problem-solving, and perseverance, students demonstrated fantastic communication and critical thinking skills while bringing their dinosaur creations to life.

What an exciting way to explore Design and Technologies through hands-on learning! 🦕🧱

*** TREAD TOGETHER ***

We are excited to share the beginning of our **TREAD Together Project**! Today, students began painting the first tyres that will become part of a large-scale art installation in our school garden.

This project symbolises families, school and community *treading together* on the educational journey, while also promoting sustainability through the creative repurposing of tyres. Aboriginal perspectives and connections to community will be woven throughout the installation, making it a meaningful space for storytelling, belonging and collaboration.

This will be a long-term community project, with opportunities for families and community members to become involved along the way. We look forward to sharing updates as the project grows and comes to life! 🎨🌱🖤💛❤️

*** VISUAL ARTS ***

Our Reception and Year 1 students have been busy singing and signing *I Can Sing a Rainbow* using Auslan as part of their Visual Arts learning- with Ms. Barnes. 🌈

Students loved combining music, movement and communication as they explore different ways to express themselves creatively. What a joyful way to learn about colours and inclusion together!

*** DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY ***

Our Early Years students in Rooms 19, 18 and 12 have been busy designing and creating shelters using natural materials, inspired by traditional Aboriginal shelters. 🌿🪵

Students have explored how First Nations Peoples used the environment sustainably to build safe and practical shelters, while also developing their creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills.

The most successful design from across the three classes will be selected to be recreated as a large shelter in our Bush Tucker Garden — an exciting project for our whole school community to enjoy! 🍃
