Spring Term has been flying past and we can't believe the end of the year is almost here!

In our fourth unit of inquiry, 'Where we are in place and time' we investigated how exploration can lead to discoveries that present challenges and opportunities. We learned about the journey of Captain Cook and selected our own explorer to research. Then we created an incredible treasure chest about the explorer to showcase our findings.

A highlight of the year was our Outdoor Education camp at Scotch. We set up and participated in a wonderful cultural session. The night ended with a delicious barbecue dinner and stargazing. We enjoyed camping out in the Middle School quad, however, many of us were very weary the next day! The camp was a fantastic experience and we can't wait for our Year 5 camp to Moray in 2021.

We are currently undertaking the Year 4 leadership journey. We have nominated for leadership positions and are in the process of our writing speeches. The wonderful Junior School leadership team has guided us through the process and we are grateful for their help. We are very much looking forward to being leaders in the Junior School next year.

Finally, we have been working hard to put together an entertaining assembly item for Grandparent's Day that will take our grandparents down a musical memory lane. We are looking forward to a wonderful end of the year with swimming lessons, a JPSSA carnival, Christmas carols and summer holidays.
