Year 3 Robotics Group

This week a group of Year 3 students have been busy creating and programming robots....

"We learnt how to follow instructions and use our imagination to create wild things with MOSS blocks"
(Ishita & Yao)

"I built this robot, programmed it and put on sensors so if it comes to a wall it will stop, turn around and go in another direction."
(Richie)
"I learnt about how machines work and how things connect to make a working circuit."
(Finn)

Year Two Artists

This term a group of Year Two artists created some spectacular artworks with Ms Kelly. They used line and pattern to add detail when creating their favourite objects in a bottle.










Taniwha Sculpture

Earlier this year a talented group of Year 5 and 6 students worked tirelessly with Ms Kelly to create an incredible mosaic sculpture. You can see this taniwha sculpture proudly displayed at the entrance to the Hobson Bay Walkway on Shore Road. Venture through the walkway and you will find other sculptures from neighbouring schools.
