Students confidently guided their parents through a range of activities, taking ownership of their learning and proudly explaining their work.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\" dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\" style=\"text-align: left\">A highlight of the afternoon was the STEM design task, where students presented their chair designs, discussing purpose, materials, and how their creations could be tested against specific criteria. In English, students demonstrated their understanding of descriptive writing by constructing sentences and experimenting with poetry, showcasing creativity and control over language features. Many also shared their published information reports, and were challenged to explain how structure and visual elements support meaning. Families also explored learning in the arts, including felt-making inspired by contemporary artists. Throughout the classroom, students eagerly shared work they were most proud of, offering insights into their daily learning and favourite activities.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\" dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\">We extend our sincere thanks to all families for attending and celebrating learning with us.
