School Preview & Readiness Program

Gymnastics

This term K-6 students have enjoyed their weekly Gymnastics and Circus lessons with instructors Ben and

Grace from ‘Little Champions Gymnastics & Circus Coaching’ in Wagga. All

of the students have improved their balance and co-ordination skills and

movement sequences each week. The Gymnastics program has been a fun

and engaging component of our Physical Education lessons this term.

2/3/4 History

Year 2/3/4 students are very proud of the First Fleet Ships

that they built for their STEM History project this term. The

students designed and built their ships at home and then

presented their project to the class, including an explanation

of how their ship was made and why they chose the specific

materials they used in their design. Students were also

encouraged to reflect on their

design and the process. Next

term we will be testing the

ships to see how well they can

float! Mrs. Crain was very

impressed with the effort that

the students put in to their

designs, as well as the level of

creativity shown by all

students.

5/6 Virtual Classroom—Korea

This year the 5/6 class are participating in a project with The University of New England Asia ConneXions

over the year and 8 Virtual Classroom (VC) sessions. In these sessions the children are going to teach

the South Korean students about their life and schooling in Australia and the South Korean students will

do the same. On the 5th of June we had our first VC session and introduced our school and our students

to Busan. It was a lot of fun! Our last VC was on the 19th of June and focused on music.
