This week I had a group of students from Year 5 and 6 working in teams to create some Stop Motion Animation with lego.

We used the webcam in our laptops to capture the images and then loaded them in to a program called ‘Stop Motion Animator’.

Here are some photos of the students at work.

Here is Olivia and Sam’s finished product:

Each year Anglicare run a Christmas Card Art Competition.  The winner gets to have their design made into Christmas Cards which are sold by Anglicare to help raise money for their Christmas Appeal.

Along with the winner they have 5 runner up places.

There were about 700 entries this year and our very own Taylor was one of the runners up!

Congratulations, Taylor!

In Art the students have been making Pom Pom Penguins to fit in with the theme of Antarctica.

Here are some of the finished little fellas…

As part of our Science Unit on Sinking, Sailing, Soaring the students had to design and make a boat using recycled materials.

Here is a slideshow of their finished products:

During this term we have been trying to make the transition into Senior School an easier process for the Year 6 students.

Students have taken part in an Orientation Day where they had ‘taster’ lessons in Senior School rooms.

They have also been reflecting on big changes that have already occurred in their life and how they are able to come out the other side of those changes relatively unscathed.

Today we went and visited some Senior School students during their lunchtime and the students in 6L were able to ask them some questions about high school and what advice they could pass on.

Here are some photos of the students conducting their interviews:

The students had to go undercover in Antarctica this week as part of their operation to investigate Antarctica.

You can read more about the task here.

Students took on the role of an Antarctic Expeditioner and were interviewed by a member of their family.

Pranav’s was one of our favourites.  Have a watch and let Pranav know what you think.
