Nicole, Liam and Joey covered in mud!

Our three enviro monitors went to the beach today with Mrs Daniel and MrsVenville to do the 2 metre square project. I wonder what they found in the area they searched.

Should We Be Able To Jump Off Wharves...Persuasive Writing by Liam

Should we be Able to Jump off Wharves?

I think we shouldn’t be able to jump off wharves.

When you jump off you could land next to a jellyfish or a sea creature that stings you!

The water might not be clear and there could be rocks and sharp objects, then your foot would have a BIG cut or a scratch on it!

Another reason is when you jump you could land on another person and both of you can get BROKEN bones and no one wants that!

If you have problems swimming you could DROWN! Plus you can just dive at a public swimming pool because it’s clear, there are lifeguards, there’s no rocks, shells, and also it’s not too deep!

It is very dangerous jumping off wharves unless you do it carefully!

Colour Wheel Learning

Ms Maloni taught us about the colours on the colour wheel:
primary colours, secondary colours, warm colours, cool colours, contrast colours and complementary colours. Sienna made a chart recording these. In the photo, Isla is sharing her knowledge with Ms Maloni. After that we experimented with the colour ideas on our sketches.

Liam's Autumn Poem

Autumn Time

By Liam

Red, orange, yellow, colourful Leaves everywhere

Soft breeze in the invisible air

Leaves twirling swirling down from the beautiful tree. Cherry red leaves, fanta orange leaves, lemon yellow leaves

Trees naked after leaves falling down

A great new season...Autumn
