Here we are at Lake George. Last time I was here, it was a wide paddock. Not a drop of water. Class 5-6 has three days in Canberra as part of our democracy lesson. Both houses are sitting and we’re hoping for some action. We will check out some embassies, including visiting the tent embassy, […]
Class 5-6 visited the NSW Parliament, where we role played the passing and amending of a bill through both houses. The children put their practiced debating skills to the test. In a couple of weeks, we are off to Canberra where we will get to see our federal pollies in action. Of course, democracy is […]
Class 5-6 has entered this year’s Reconciliation Challenge. We will be submitting artwork. In preparation, we have visited two art exhibitions to gather ideas and stir our artistic juices. A few weeks ago, we visited the Cultural Centre to see the fabulous Western Desert exhibition, and on Friday, we went to the Opening of the […]
Class 4-5 have been immersing ourselves in Greek mythology, culminating in the play, Jason and the Argonauts and the Quest for the Golden Fleece. Heracles, Orpheus, Castor and Pollox, and band of heroes and heroines overcame insurmountable hurdles to retrieve the Golden Fleece. And we succeeded! This was the first play that there were several […]
Great snorkeling camp! We never stopped. We slid through clear, sun-sparkling waters with wobbegongs, blue gropers, sea urchins, swaying sea grasses with schools of fishes. The children were as wide-eyed as the fish. We camped in the tall blackbutt forest that teemed with kookaburras, lorikeets, king parrots, rosellas, singing magpies and currawongs; kangaroos and wallabies; […]
Bonny Vale is in the Royal National Park. It is a perfect place for children, with a grassy campground surrounded by protected beaches and mangroves. After our super-wet camp earlier in the year, we had nothing but sunshine for this camp. Happy campers!
The Class 3-4 children have just completed a term of twice weekly lessons with Derek in the Artisan Workshop. It was our first time in the workshop, and the beginning of our journey with woodwork. In the Steiner world, the child’s life body spends its first years expertly sculpting the organs. By the beginning of […]
Everyone in the school has been champing at the bit to go on camp once again. We were lucky enough to be first, soon to be followed by most of the rest of the school this term. With the summer we have had, it was likely we’d have some rain, but it turned it in! […]
During the Learning from Home period, Class 2-3 made springtime projects: we were super-sleuth journalists reporting on the early signs of spring; and later, we returned to the scene of the crime to report developments in leaf, seed and fruit formation; and we also investigated insects in our backyards and in the bush. In the classroom, […]
