This term Year 11 Biology have been learning about the effects of abiotic factors (such as temperature and light) on plant growth. Their current assessment task is to complete an experiment of their own design looking at the effect of these factors on plant growth at home. An excursion to Longneck Lagoon at Maraylya provided students with valuable first-hand experiences completing fieldwork. We’re now at the writing up stage, where an important step is to have your draft work peer reviews by others. #mamrelearning

Today the children from the 3 Year Old Program conducted an experiment using Bicarbonate Soda, vinegar and food colouring. They were fascinated and really enjoyed watching the colours foam and mix together. #mamrelearning

Under the careful guidance of Mr Petersen, our Year 7 Digital Technologies students have started manufacturing their coasters by using the school's laser cutting technology . The detail of each of the coasters produced is quite astonishing. Well done Year 7 #mamrelearning

Year 6 are studying different systems of government this term. The task was to complete the longest marble run they could make as a team. To develop an empathic understanding of fairness and equity, we created an inequitable playing field where one team had less time and fewer resources! The lack of fairness was keenly felt! #mamrelearning

Exciting things are happening in the library! The Scholastic Book Fair has arrived. The library will be open 8am to 3.40pm daily for parents and students to purchase books. Please bring a reusable bag as we have a limited amount of plastic bags. Pre-K to Year 2 have been busy creating artwork from the book Bear in space and are excited to meet the author Deborah Abela. Years 3 and 4 have been creating birds and butterflies for our book week theme Dreaming with eyes open. Please check library bags for wish lists next week. #mamrelearning
