What happened in Hamilton

Grade 3 Exit Point Our Grade 3 students showcased their learning for their topic, “Island Life.”

The children dressed as teachers so that parents could have an educational experience.

Throughout the Exit Point, parents tried a number of activities based on what Grade 3 had learned during the topic.

At the beginning of the Exit Point, students performed the "Water Cycle Song" and welcomed their parents. Students questioned parents on what tools they would need to survive, using coordinates to find locations, the water cycle, pattern making and writing a postcard from their island. Parents particularly enjoyed testing themselves on our Kahoot! game to find out how much they had learned.

Grade 2 students celebrated the end of their 'Active Planet' IPC unit on Tuesday. The students showed their learning journey through a movie created in collaboration with their teachers. They talked through their learning and innovation stages of projects.

The students thoroughly enjoyed this IPC topic and have banked lots of new skills and knowledge.

KG2 Picnic

As an introduction to our new English unit 'Stories from a Range of Cultures', KG2 had a dress up day where the children wore their national dress and brought a dish from their country to share with their friends.
