STEM

Good afternoon everyone,

During Week 9 we will be taking part in a STEM day. For our STEM day we need some recycled materials from home to help us make our PARACHUTES!!


If you are able to, would you please kindly donate the following materials to our class:

  • fabric
  • string
  • cardboard
  • plastic
  • thread
  • pegs
  • army / lego / plastic animal figurines
  • cloth
  • tape
  • foil
  • paper clips
  • serviette 
  • cupcake cases
  • coffee filters 
We do not need ALL the materials, these are just suggestions for things that could be used to construct a parachute in class.


Your help is greatly appreciated 😊😊


Kind regards,

Miss Dowling & Room 13 students

HASS

We have been learning about Early Explorers in History this term. Throughout our research and learning we discovered that the Chinese explorer 'Zheng He' had many voyages, some that possibly included sailing by Australia. He travelled around during the early 15th century. As part of our History unit and STEM we constructed some 15th Century Junk Boats, similar to those that Zheng He would have commanded.
