Out and about in Year 2


This term we are learning about ‘push and pull’ in Science. We investigated what happens when various objects are placed in water. First we had to predict what would happen, then observe what happened. Finally, we explained what happened and recorded our observations.

We also had a go at making a ball of modelling clay float – tricky, but lots of fun!

Girls’ Soccer Gala Day


On Monday 2 May some girls from Years 4, 5 and 6 were chosen to go to the Girls’ Soccer Gala Day. We went to Jamisontown to play against a variety of schools - we came 6th out of 20 schools.

The ‘Player of the Match’ was Jessica Smith, and the Team Captain was Sienna Stanford; Cindy Tonna saved a lot of goals. It was great weather and a great day to play.
