Miss Drew's Dream Team

This term, 5/6D has been learning about Micro organisms. Last week, in science, we did an experiment to see what happens when yeast (used in bread making) is mixed with sugar and water.   Yeast is a micro organism that requires food and the right temperature to grow. In groups of five or six, students used water bottles and different measures of yeast, sugar and water to see what happens when the mixtures are left over night.

Here are some photos from our Experiment.

Here is our second instalment of Two truths one lie.

Well done to all the Year 6 students who accompanied Mrs Armstrong to Callaghan Campus Waratah on Friday to participate in taster lessons in preparation for the transition to high school. Year 6 had an amazing day participating in a variety of lessons including English, dance, science and woodwork. Thanks to Mrs Armstrong and well done year 6 on great behaviour and effort. 

Yesterday,  students from years 3-6 walked to Islington Oval and competed in our annual Cross Country. It was great to see everyone trying their best! Thanks to Mr Slade for his fantastic organisation of the event and to Mrs Bowman for the photos. Well done to those students who made it to Zone. ​

This term, 5/6D are doing an activity on our blog called Two truths, one lie. Each week a handful of students will write three things about themselves, two of these things are truths and one of them is a lie.

Its you job to work out what is what! You can leave your comments underneath.
