<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This term, the students in Banksia class have been enjoying a wide range of hands-on and creative learning experiences across their subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Food Tech,they have engaged in cooking lessons where they developed practical skills, followed recipes, worked collaboratively and ate some yummy food. They have explored gardening and how to care for plants and herbs to cook with, and learned about sustainability and the natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In English, students worked on story writing, building their creativity and confidence in expressing ideas, creating short graphic novels about friendship. They also explored visual storytelling through watching short films and learning about the elements of mise-en-sc\u00e8ne, helping them understand how meaning is created through the setting and images, the character\u2019s facial and body expression, the importance of music and visual details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Music, they are learning about Aboriginal music, gaining an appreciation for culture, rhythm, and storytelling through sound. They also explored the elements of music, including beat, rhythm, and dynamics following fun Youtube tutorials and using their bodies to make sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year 8 students attended a medieval incursion, which provided an engaging, immersive experience that brought history to life. Also, year 7 completed NAPLAN testing, and approached the assessments with effort and resilience. We are very proud of their persistence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Science, students took part in a range of experiments, encouraging curiosity, observation, and hands-on learning. It has been a busy and rewarding term in Banksia class, and we are incredibly proud of the students\u2019 engagement, creativity, and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
