U4 Natural Disasters and Ballet Dancers

 My Wonder Wall Brick
Learning about the natural features of the earth and what is classified as natural phenomena, the Reverential Rhino's had many interesting questions about the 'hazardous side' of nature. They took to their Wonder Wall and built it higher with questions to help get them started on their inquiry cycle. 
- Do natural disaster's happen on other planets?
- Could lava from a volcanic eruption cause a wild fire?
- How do tornado's come about?






Who said Mathematics can't be tasty!?
Some excitement in class to aid us in learning about data collection, interpretation, graphs and diagrams. We used marbles - no, not the ones that roll on the ground, the ones made by Meiji that you put in your mouth - to help us sort, classify and display our recordings in the form of a chart, diagram and graph. 

During English, we explored various connective words that help us join sentences together to make them understandable and more appealing.
Ballet Dancers
As part of the arts this year, Miss Azusa organized for two professional ballet dancers to come and perform at school for us. They were absolutely incredibly talented and super strong! They danced a piece of 'The Nutcracker' then had us join in with them to learn the different positions and stances in ballet.



HAPPY LEAP DAY!
Something that comes around every four years which we had the privilege of spending together, the 29th February 2024! Changing it up a bit, we had our lunch on the green field and enjoyed a game of 'Leap Frog'.


Hina Matsuri
Kana spoilt us with Hina Matsuri gifts, they were super tasty and unique. 
Thank you, Kana!

DSKI Book Day
Thursday 7th March

We will be having a lot of fun reading and book activities for the students to enjoy, helping build and foster a love of books and reading. 


We also invite your children to wear their pyjamas to school. Getting into pyjamas and reading at home just before bed is something a lot of children do. So, coming into school in their pyjamas and reading will be a good way to connect this and promote the fun and joy of books.

Parents - during the day we would like to invite you to come in and read to the children. You can do so in any language that you would like to! Please bring some books from home you would be happy to share.

just let your child's homeroom teacher know. Email them to organise a time that works for both teacher and parent.

🎶  2 WEEKS TO GO!  🎶  Our Upper Primary students continue to give it their all during our 'UP Spring Musical' practice sessions. Afterall, we only have 2 weeks left to practice as a team! SWIMMING The excitement was real on Monday, the long awaited anticipation for their swimming lessons had finally arrived and our Grade 3s were bursting at the seams with enthusiasm. Their swimming coaches gave feedback on how great all our little swimmers were, good job guys! LAMENTATION Going back to 1930, the Reverential Rhinos got in touch with their emotions and feelings after watching a movement piece by Martha Graham called, Lamentation. I was super impressed with their descriptive words to explain what they felt after watching the video. THANK YOU🍬 Some spoils from Greece! We are super thankful for how thoughtful and caring our fellow classmates are, bringing back a piece of his holiday from Greece to share with us, YUMMY! 🌍🌎🌏 Pop into the STEM room and check out the Grade 3...
