Presentations in Discoverers 22 and 23

Discoverers 22 and 23 have really enjoyed a range of presentations this term. Thank you to Darrin Gordon who came in to talk with us about rocks and landforms. The students really enjoyed seeing all the different rocks and asking questions. 

Thank you to Emily Easterbrook and Anika Tiller for bringing in their pets ( Patch, Pumpkin and Snowflake). We loved hearing about your pets and the interesting information you shared with us. Well done :)

Halswell Quarry

Discoverers 22 had a fabulous time at Halswell Quarry on Tuesday. We learnt so many interesting facts that link into our Inquiry topic 'Looking down, Looking out, Looking up.' 

Thank you to all the parents that came and helped. Check out the photos from our trip :)
