Dear parents and Guardians
We have been very busy in our homegroup with the Grade 6A students. During the last week of Term One students were engaged in cooking. Students made Muesli bars of their choice and it was a great opportunity for us to experience this. Through the cooking experience we looked at measuring and estimating.
During the last weeks of Term One we also had a day excursion/camp to the Enchanted maze. Students and myself were very busy with the tree surfing activity. It was definitely a challenge for me as height is not my strongest area. We also went on tube slides and in and out of mazes. It was a great day for all and can't wait for our next adventure as a grade.

Grade 5B have been using Mathletics to get ready for NAPLAN, which gives them the chance of practicing some questions at their leisure. We wish them all the best in their actual tests.

Dear parents and students,
Last term Grade 5 and 6 students focused on Health in Integrated Studies. Hence, as part of the Health curriculum, Gourmet kids visited our school to engage the students in cooking. Students happily made delicious muesli bars.
This term in Integrated Studies, students are learning about Australian History. After Week 6, students will be busily working on certain topics in Geography. All the best to our Grade 5 and 6 students.
Coming Up:
Grade 5 & 6 Incursion: The Colonial Show (19 May)
Grade 6 Excursion: The Chinese Museum (5 June)
Grade 5 Excursion: Eureka Skydeck (13 June)
Looking forward to have these exciting adventures within Integrated Studies.

Religion and Values
In Religion and Values classes we started Term Two with the revision of Term One, (Six Pillars of Iman), and made some posters for the revision. This term, primary students are learning about the Five Pillars of Islam. They watch videos, do some hands on activities, games etc about each topic. Grade 3’s and 4 are presenting their holiday projects in class as well.
The R.V. department announced the winners for the Salavat Competition in Week Two during assembly and all winners received their certificates.We would like to thank our students who contributed to the Salavat Competition and for their outstanding effort.
Lastly, the R.V. department we also displayed the 2017 Reading Challenge List and the summary sheets in each class. We encourage our students to borrow those books from the library and read them in their available time.
