The Dig – Yr 6 PBL
On Monday, the year 6s presented their completed P.B.L to the community. It consisted of an archaeological
journal, a booklet and an oral presentation of what we learnt about Australia’s history. We started the day by
bringing tables into the gym and setting them up with our artefacts. We practiced the presentation with the group
in front of us so we were prepared for when we started the expo. It was great to see so many people from the
community come and celebrate our learning. The best part was sharing what artefacts we discovered and
explaining what they were, and also sharing what we learnt about Australia’s history. A special thanks to Emma
Oliver, Dan Rosendahl and the teachers for making it possible.
From William Garland and Marcus Butcher.

Prep P won a prize to work with Mr Branson. We used the exciting programmable Bee-bots for the first time. Mr Branson showed us how to program the little robots to move forward, backwards, left or right. Prep P students were using the Learner Profile, Thinker to solve problems. “On Wednesday, we used Bee-bots. We had to think about which buttons to press to make them go. We had to do a lot of thinking to make sure the Bee Bot went to where your partner said. We both were really good with the Learner Profile, Thinker”. Ben and Daniel
“Wow! I was really happy when I solved my partner’s problem and made my Bee-bot move to a flower. I was a Thinker because I could solve the problem. It is important to think different things all the time because if you keep asking questions you end up knowing lots and lots of things”.
Seth “I liked the Bee-bots when I played with them, they were a lot of fun. We had to try and make the Bee-bot move to the flower and then Mr Branson asked me to get the Bee-bot to the number 2. I was successful because when I was thinking I decided to count and put my finger on the square and then I pressed the button correctly and solved the problem. I was a fantastic Thinker. I got to the flower a lot of times”. Chloe
Grade 3 Camp to Swan Hill
On the 24th of May, Grade 3 went on camp to Swan Hill. We visited the Pioneer Settlement and did lots of fun activities. We had a ride on the Pyap Paddle steamer on the Thursday and attended the Laser Light Spectacular Show that night. On Friday, we continued to learn what life was like many years ago. The children were surprised that teachers in the olden days were allowed to use the cane to discipline children who used their left hand to write! Everyone enjoyed the whole experience and we were very tired when we arrived home. We would like to thank our wonderful helpers who attended the camp with us; Casey Kiel, Sharnie Kiel, Kaitlin Brennan, Adrian Bruggy and Nick Robertson. They were amazing!
