YEAR 1 INSECT INCURSION

On Friday June 1, all Year 1 students had an amazing

incursion where they had the opportunity to learn about

insects and minibeasts. Students learnt about the basic

requirements that allows them to grow and change, their

different features and habitats, as well, facts about

invertebrates with exoskeletons. Students were able to hold

many of the insects, except of course the scorpion and tarantula spider.

Below are some of our Year 1 students’ thoughts.

My favourite part was watching the crab coming out of it’s shell. James 1H/S

I cannot believe I saw a rhino beetle. It was so shiny and colourful! Arlo 1H/S

The best thing I did was holding the tarantula spider in the box and

Mrs. Hookey took a photo. Apasia 1D

The best thing I did was being able to touch all the insects. Dexter 1D

My favourite part was when it was my turn to hold the lizard. Claire 1G

I will always remember having fun and especially seeing the stick insect

because of it’s big wings. Natasha 1G

My favourite part was seeing a scorpion up close because the scorpion is

very dangerous. Jayden 1H/S

The best thing I did at the incursion was seeing the stick insect. It was so big!

Marcus 1H/S

I will always remember this incursion because it was fun holding the insects.

YEAR 1 INSECT INCURSION

I cannot believe I saw a melon snail at the incursion. Edwin 1D

The best thing I did was feeling the insects, such as the stag beetle.

Daniel 1G

I cannot believe I saw a large wing from a male stick insect. Calvin 1G

I cannot believe I saw a rainbow beetle at the incursion. Daniel 1H/S

I loved seeing the hermit crab. Charlotte 1D

The best thing I did at the incursion was holding the lizard. Isaac 1G

Year 3 and 4 students attended a Road Safety Program run by RACV.

This session focused on passenger safety, giving students important

information whilst also allowing them to participate in ‘hands on activities’.

Did you know that you have to be 145cm tall to sit in the front seat?

Also, make sure you try not to annoy the driver when they are driving.

Atiya and Matthew 4H

We learnt that It takes a lot of concentration to drive with lots of

passengers in the car. We also learnt how to put on a helmet safely and

properly. Laura and Asher 4H

We learnt that it is very important to not

distract the driver too much. When we

are walking or crossing the road we learnt

to always ‘Stop, Look, Listen, Think!’

Chris and Lachlan 4H

RACV ROAD SAFETY PROGRAM

Foundation and Year 1 students participated in a Road Safety Incursion

with Tara, who is Donburn’s Active Travel Program facilitator from

Manningham Council.

The children talked about their modes of transport to school, what they might

see on the way to Donburn as well as how important it is to STOP, LOOK,

LISTEN and THINK before crossing our roads.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the road safety incursion and were eager to

take complete the take home activity to play ‘Traffic Bingo’ with their family.

This was aimed to encourage support and participation as a family about the

‘shared responsibility’ of road safety.

Thank you to Beth Mcinnes and Tara Watson for making this happen.

FOUNDATION FAIRYTALE INCURSION

After learning about fairy tales this term, the Foundation children were treated

to a real life fairy tale on Tuesday June 5. They were entertained by the cast

of Carp Productions, who mixed up some of their favourite fairy tales

including Rapunzel, the Three Billygoats Gruff and the Little Red Hen.

There was lots of audience participation and the children could not stop

laughing! It was a wonderful way for the Foundation students to see some of

their favourite characters in action!

The finishing touches are being made to our new Seasonal Sustainability

Garden near the Grade 5 portables.

Started in the middle of last year, this project has seen parents, teachers and

students from Foundation to Year Six, involved in the construction of the

seven new wicking garden beds. (A wicking bed is a garden bed with a

waterproof lining that holds a reservoir of water at the bottom from which

water is draw upwards like a wick to the surface of the bed via natural soil

osmosis or through the roots of plants in the bed.)

Students prepared the ground, filled the boxes with stones and soil, planted,

mulched and created artwork. Each garden bed is themed to align with one of

the seven Wurundjeri (local aboriginal) seasons and is planted with a mix of

native and fruit/vegetable species which we will use in our Kitchen Garden

Classroom Program.

Artwork on the outside of the boxes include seven sustainability messages

created using plastic bottle tops. These were designed and created by our

Year 3-6 Sustainability Leaders.

Artwork representing traditional seasons were completed by students from

Years 1 and 2.

SEASONAL SUSTAINABILITY GARDEN

Last year our current Year 4 students read the wonderful book “All through the

Year” by Jane Godwin and Anna Walker with Andrea in Library. The students

identified their favorite seasons and gave reasons. Some of these have also

been included in the garden.

Years 2, 3 and 6 students are currently designing the artwork representing the

seven Wurrundjeri seasons. Year 5 students are working on totem poles that

will be placed in the Indigenous Garden.

This project has provided students with real hands-on learning opportunities in

cross-curricular priories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and

cultures, and sustainability. They have investigated weather and seasons and

the ways in which different cultural groups describe them.

Creation of the garden was made possible with donations from Bunnings

(Nunawading) and support from a $1500 Yates Junior Landcare Grant for

Gardens. A further $500 of Yates products donated to the school through the

grant have been gladly used by the students participating in our lunchtime

Garden Club.

A big thank you to everyone involved in this project

including students, staff and parents at working bees.

A special thank you to John Conte for collecting all the

construction materials, putting them all together to create

the beds and keeping the project rolling.

Kathryn Manago - Sustainability/Garden Club

Student thoughts on their involvement include:

“It’s cool to see that every week the plants grow a bit

bigger” Sebastian, Year 4.

“I enjoyed painting the green arrows because I got to work

in a team. I also like watering the plants through the special

pipe. I’m looking forward to continuing to work in the

garden”. Allie, Year 4.

“Painting the boxes was really fun. I painted multiple,

including the winter box and the flower one. I enjoy helping

in the Sustainability Garden.” Jacinta, Year 3.

“I planted some radishes and I water the plants and

potatoes. I actually thought of the slogan Every Drop

Counts and I painted the tap for my slogan on the sign.

It’s really fun and I look forward to more

Gardening Club”. Zoe, Year 3.

“I enjoyed watering the pants. When I was

little, I loved doing gardening. I was glad to

find that our school had a gardening club.

I helped plant the brussel sprouts and I

watered them. I hope one day I can try

one”. Lucy, Year 3

“I painted the grey part of the box. I watered

the plants with my mum and helped take the

signs out of the classroom so Mr Ryan

could screw them on. I enjoy gardening in

the Sustainability Garden”. Sienna, Year 2.

COOKING PASTA WITH 4 O

It was a surprise that we got to cook Linguine with Naden and Kathryn.

To make the Linguine we had to harvest our ingredients from the garden and

the Chicken’s coop. We collected 4 eggs and herbs such as Basil, Garlic and

Mint. We washed our hands and started preparing. We needed to cut the

herbs before we used them. We made a bear claw with our hands so that we

did not hurt ourselves while we were cutting.

Next, we made the dough using Flour, Eggs and Salt. Kneading the dough

was one of the challenging parts of preparing the dough. To roll the dough into

pasta we used a pasta maker, and then the pasta needed to rest. Then, we

cut the pasta into strips. The pasta and the sauce were cooked on the stove.

We cleaned up and did the dishes while it cooked and some people set the

table. We got to eat our final pasta in a tea cup.

Canoeing: Before we could get on the canoe, we had to put on a life jacket and a

helmet. We chose a partner and got an oar each. After that, the instructor showed us how

to get into the canoe safely and how to row. The lake was in the shape of Australia with a

floaty that represented Uluru. Once the canoe was in the water, we climbed in and had a

race. At the end we got to capsize. Everyone enjoyed working as a team and learning

how to canoe.

By Marina, Miah B, Natalie, Matt, Moosa, and Omar

Team rescue: We needed to carry a dummy on a stretcher with three planks and

two ropes to get to the other side of the obstacle course. Our task was not to drop the

dummy or touch the ground while completing the obstacle course. It was a difficult task

but we had fun doing it. It involved teamwork, strategy and communication. The quickest

group to complete the course was Group 3 with a time of 52 minutes.

By Ashley L, Saanidhya, Isaac, Max and Jordan.

Ball games: Ball games was an exciting activity. We played dodgeball, basketball,

soccer, football and cricket. You could choose what ball games we would like to do.

Alison ran the ball games activity and put us into teams. We had lots of basketballs,

footballs and much more equipment. The popular sports were basketball and dodgeball.

By Katie, Emmi, Erin, Gilbert, George, Sam Mu and Karam.

Low ropes and boulder wall: One of the activities at Phillip Island Adventure

Resort was the Low Ropes and Boulder Wall. They were both really fun. In Low Ropes,

there were ten different challenges and challenge ten was the hardest. Hardly any people

made it to the end, as it was really hard and difficult to complete. The boulder wall was a

rock climbing course. It was much easier than the low ropes course. It was a lot more

enjoyable for the people who knew how to rock climb. Everyone enjoyed this activity very

much and had a great time.

By Harrison, Rhea, Luke B, Amelie, Daniel and Thomas

Duty groups: For duty group we had to go to the hall 15 minutes early to set the

tables before everyone arrived. We placed cups and cutlery and got the drinks ready.

After everyone finished their meals, we had to wipe the tables clean and take the dishes

to the kitchen. We also had to vacuum the floor. This was a good activity because it

taught us to be responsible and tidy.

YEARS 5 AND 6 CAMP AT PHILLIP ISLAND STUDENT RECOUNTS

Page 13: Julie - Donburn Primary School...13 June 2018 Dear Parents and Guardians Thank you to all the parents and staff who went to the camp at Phillip Island last week. Chris Kovits, Jess

YEARS 5 AND 6 CAMP AT PHILLIP ISLAND

Initiatives: The Initiatives course was where we had to get a whole team across a

very hard and challenging set of obstacle courses. It was very challenging because we

had to work as a team. Some challenges were to get across a bunch of tires, to get

across 3 tight ropes, to try and get across a log with none of us falling off, To get across a

tight rope with nothing but our teammates hands, to get across a see-saw and to try and

balance it for 10 seconds and the last challenge was to get through a maze in an amount

of time.

By Joel, Jamie and Aakash

Twin Flying Fox: For the twin flying fox we got into pairs and went to the instructor

to get our harnesses on. We collected a rope and ran up a hill to reach Shaharna, the

camp leader. We climbed onto a platform and stood on three steps. We got our

harnesses tightened for safety, then we waited for the person to wave the flag to make

sure nothing was in the way. 3, 2, 1 Go! We zipped down like lightning towards the

bottom where everyone was waiting. We dropped our ropes so the instructors could drag

us to the ladder to get unclipped. We slowly climbed down the ladder to get our harness

off. We all had so much fun!

Stazi, Sophie, Daniella and Ryan

Disc Golf: In disc golf, you have 3 Frisbees: a driver, a middle shot and a putter.

The aim of the game is to throw the Frisbees into a basket (lowest score wins). You play

9 holes and there is a par of 4 or 5. The par is the amount of times you can throw the

Frisbees to get a goal. If you pass the par number you fail, if you get under or the exact

number of throws you are more likely to win. We had a great time playing disc golf with

Grant.

Written by JP, Jared, Damien and Michael G

Night walk: On the first night of camp, the Year fives and sixes split into two

groups to do the night walk. We walked in opposite directions into the dark bushland to

look at the night sky. We searched for mysterious creatures as we wandered around the

campsite with our torches. Halfway in, we switched off our flashlights and gazed upwards

into the dazzling sky. We heard noises in the bushes but no one had sightings of any

animals.

By Josh A, Ayden, Aaron and Trent

Giant Swing:

One of the most thrill-seeking activities was the Giant Swing.

It was 18m high, and had a 2m freefall. Everyone

encouraged each other and pushed their limits. We had to

put on special equipment for safety. We were connected to a

rope and got pulled by our group to the top (or our

comfortable height). Then we pulled a cord and we fell down

to the ground then flew up and came to a stop. The Giant

Swing was not doubt the best activity!

Raft building: Raft building was an exciting activity. We had to build a raft out of

pipes, wooden planks and ropes. We lined up all the pipes and wooden planks and tied

them all together with good old rope. After we built our raft, we all had to test our raft in

the big lake that is at the back of the camp site. Most teams failed sadly and got soaking

wet with cold water. Although most of us failed, we still had heaps of fun and we all really

enjoyed it.

By Samantha, Kevin, Sam R, Basma and Ava

Ponding: On camp, we had an activity called Ponding. It was an activity where we

had try and scoop water creatures in the pond with a net. Each group received a net, an

ice cube tray, a bucket and were split into groups of 4. Each group had found amazing

creatures and placed them into the ice cube tray filled with water. We then used

magnifying glasses to identify what species it was. The most common species found

were backswimmers, but some people were lucky and found things like bloodworms and

sea snails. After we identified the creatures, we carefully placed them back into the water.

Overall we had an amazing time in Ponding and hoped we could do it again.

By Dylan, Adriel and Triston

Disco: On a freezing Wednesday night, Grant organised a disco in the

multipurpose room. We saw the disco ball with bright, colourful light shining on the disco

ball. Grant and Sam, his assistant DJ, blasted out loud tunes, which pounded our hearts

with excitement. We started to dance with the music. At the end of the disco Grant

decided the king and queen disco dancers of the night. The king was Rocco and the

queen Sophie . We had a fun night and enjoyed it.

By Edmund, Tara, Ella, Remi. Ken, Rocco and James

Photo Hunt: One of the activities we did on 5/6 camp was a Photo Hunt. For this

activity we split into groups of 4 or 5 people within our activity group and we had to find

the places where different photos were taken. We had a set time limit and we had to try

and find all 35 photos. There were only 3 groups who succeeded in finding all 35 photos

in the set time. We all enjoyed the photo hunt activity and we all got to have fun with our

friends.

YEARS 5 AND 6 CAMP AT PHILLIP ISLAND

San Remo Pelican Feeding: On the way to the Phillip Island

Adventure Resort, we stopped in San Remo to watch the pelican

feeding and eat our own lunch. It was fun learning about the

pelicans and their eating habits. We learnt that pelicans eat fish.

The lady was feeding them flathead. Pelicans can keep food in their

neck. It was so cool when we saw all the pelicans jump to get the

flathead.

By Ali, Hani, Muqi, Mike and Connor

Minute To Win It: On the first night of camp, after the night

walk, Ms Tseregounis and Ms Wightman hosted Minute To Win It activities. Children were

split into 10 groups and competed in 6 activities. Some of the activities included a

Balloon Toss, Egg and Spoon Race, Coin in the Cup and the House of Cards challenge.

The winner was Team 2, and Team 1 come second. We had lots of fun and it was a great

start to a wonderful camp.

By Campbell, Alina, Rose, Izzy T, Dave and Richard

Archery: For archery, we worked with a partner. We shot 3 arrows each and had to

aim for the bullseye. Then we had to add up the scores and we found out who was the

best archer in our activity group. We moved back 2 meters every time the whole group

finished shooting their arrows. Everybody did well and had a great time.

By Keanu, Xander, Shaya, Damon and Jared

Red Faces: Red Faces was on the last night of camp. The judges were Brendan

Renehan, Mr Ryan and Ms Tseregounis. We watched many students perform different

acts and the judges rated each act out of 10. In first place came Kosta. His performance

was lip-synching. It was funny and the judges loved him – especially Mr Ryan. The

judges were harsh to everyone else though! Mr Ryan’s average score was a 5 out of 10.

BASF KIDS LAB AT MONASH UNIVERSITY

A group of students got the privilege to attend a chemistry lesson at Monash

University on Wednesday 13 June. We participated in three experiments, two

of which involved chemicals.

The first experiment was paper chromatography, then we did a super

absorber test and finally we made worms. We got to work in one of Monash’s

new chemistry labs and had some scientists help us with the experiments.

Everyone had a an amazing time and we are grateful for the experience of

attending a chemistry lesson at Monash.
