There has been lots of exciting learning happening in the Primary School including our outdoor classroom day and the Year 4\u00a0 Planetarium Incursion.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Classroom Day<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Despite the chilly weather, the Primary School girls enjoyed the opportunity to take their learning outside the four walls of the classroom to celebrate Outdoor Classroom Day. Outdoor Classroom Day is a worldwide movement designed to celebrate and inspire outdoor learning and play. Why? Well, outdoor learning improves children\u2019s health, engages them with learning, and leads to a greater connection with nature.<\/p>\n

Lessons held outside on the day included Year 1 hunting for animals in our school habitat in Science and Technology, Year 4 conducting a hands-on investigation in Maths on perimeter and area, and\u00a0 Year 3 venturing outside to use informal measurements to measure the distance between two points during as part of their current maths investigation of \u2018A Snail\u2019s Holiday\u2019. The gardening club girls took a walk across the road to the Frances Newton Community Garden to engage in a scavenger hunt and take a look at some of the vegetables growing in this important community space. We are certainly glad this rain held off to allow us time outside!<\/p>\n
