Catch of the Day - Making clay sea creatures in our art incursion was lots of fun. #mamrelearning

Why do we build stairs out of concrete and not cardboard? Year 4 are learning about different materials in science and were challenged to see if they could build a step out of cardboard and have Mr T stand on it. #mamrelearning

Year 12 Chemistry students learning the chemistry of making soap (saponification). #mamrelearning

5A have been reading and analysing Lance Balchin’s Aquatica over the past term. This has fit in to both our Informative Writing and Animal Adaptation units. We have created our very own Aquatica Animals that may be lurking in the ocean in the future. Miss Mullen and 5A are very proud of their incredibly intricate artworks. #mamrelearning

4T are using their knowledge of Volume and Capacity to estimate and then measure the amount of water in their water bottles. As well as this they are working out how to estimate the capacity of new objects by submerging them in water and seeing how much the water level rises. Clever young mathematicians! #mamrelearning

Me Melendez's maths class. Never a dull moment! Looking at position using the old street directory. #mamrelearning

This term Year 5 has been reading the Ickabog by JK Rowling. This week, we have created maps of Cornucopia, the country in the story. Students used direct evidence from the text and their own creative and critical thinking skills to visually represent Cornucopia! Both Miss Ellis and 5E are very proud of their work! #mamrelearning

KM participated in a little science experiment using milk, food colouring and dish washing soap... it was awesome to see what happened. #mamrelearning

Year 5 have worked so hard this Term to complete their ‘Biorama’ ready for our Exhibition today. Students have studied Biomes from the around the world in Geography whilst in Science learning about the adaptations that animals have to make in order to survive and thrive in these Biomes. Year 5 have worked tirelessly on these projects. Each group had to present their Biorama along with a poster and a detailed speech that showed what they had learnt throughout Term 3. It is safe to say that Miss Mullen, Mr Melendez and Miss Ellis could not be any prouder of Year 5’s efforts. #mamrelearning

As part of their Geography unit, 2K have been building 3D models and creating Google slide presentations of Australian landmarks to present at their very own Travel Expo. #mamrelearning

Year 4 has been learning all about renewable energy this term. For the last few weeks they have been working hard to create a Third World town or a modern city that runs entirely on renewable energy. This was inspired by learning that Sydney city is now run entirely on renewable energy and by the inspirational true story of William Kamkwamba from Malawi, whose story can be seen on the Netflix film ‘The boy who harnessed the wind’. #mamrelearning

The Mamre Anglican School 2020 Showcase was an exhibition of works from Design & Technology, Visual Arts and Multimedia. The Showcase featured HSC major works from our year 12 students, as well as work from Year 11 and highly accomplished year 9 & 10 students. As we were unable to invite parents and friends to view the exhibition in person, we hope you will appreciate this video, showing the depth of skill and imagination in the students studying these subjects. #mamrelearning

Year 10 have been learning about heirloom fruit and vegetables, understanding how we have genetically manipulated modern crops. After months of waiting we have harvested our first ‘blue corn’. #mamrelearning
