Last week in Science, Miss Atterton taught us about Fossil Fuels and how important they are to our survival. There are three types of Fossil Fuels which are coal, oil and natural gas. Without these we wouldn't have heating and cooling which is vital to our survival and health.
Mining and extracting these fossil Fuels from the Earth can have devastating effects to nature. We got to mine for coal using chocolate chip biscuits. The chocolate chips were the coal and the biscuits were the Earth. We had to extract the chocolate chips out of the biscuit using tooth picks and then examine the biscuit without the choc chips in it. It was very interesting to see what mining for coal can do to the Earth.

Our Assembly
Dear Parents,
Our class is hosting an assembly, which will
be held Friday 18th of August at 8:45am. Please ensure your
child is at their class dressed in their costume at 8:20am that morning. We
will be performing an item based on our love of poetry.
Your child needs to come dressed up according
to the play they are in.
My Brother On His Birthday -
Party dresses with hair down so we can put party hats on our heads.
My Mother Does My Homework - Jeans, a
shirt and enclosed shoes.
The World’s Biggest Burp
- Jeans, a blue shirt and enclosed shoes.
Please ensure these costumes are easy to move
around in! We will be checking costumes on Wednesday, 16th August, so
please ensure these are brought to school for this day.
Children are to bring their school uniform in
their school bag to change into after the assembly.
Your child will be bringing home a copy of
their lines each night to rehearse, along with a link to the song and lyrics.
Thank you for ongoing support and we are looking forward to seeing you all
there!
Kind regards
Mrs Caris Szczepanik and Miss Atterton

Volume and Capacity
Over the past few weeks our focus in Mathematics has been volume and capacity. We have learned that volume is the amount of liquid actually in the container and capacity is how much the container can hold when completely full. We have had so much fun using water and different containers to measure the volume and capacity!
Miss Atterton taught us that if we pour the same amount of liquid into a container with greater width, the water level will appear less. If we pour the same amount of liquid into a container that has a smaller width, the water level will appear higher. How cool is that!

Damper Making
Yesterday in class we made Damper as part of our NAIDOC Day celebrations. We learned how Aboriginals made Damper using traditional methods then we had a go at making our own.
We needed to use:
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 1 cup of self raising flour
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of salt
Once you have all the ingredients you just mix them together, form little buns and then cook them on 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.
They were so simple to make and tasted delicious! We put some butter and jam on ours. Some of us wanted to make more at home it was that delicious.
Have a look at our pictures below.
