HASS AT LPS
1/2 Blue:
As part of the HASS inquiry about ‘Our Special Places’, Grade 1/2s went for a walk up to Gordon’s Hill Reserve area behind the school to explore a local area of significance and to investigate “Where are my special places?”. 1/2White and 1/2Navy went on their walk on Wednesday 28th April and 1/2Blue, 1/2Black and 1/2 on Thursday 29th April.
Lead by Sara, the students explored the Reserve discussing the trees, nature, wildlife, Aboriginal names of the landmarks surrounding them and reflecting on what they could see, hear, and feel. Once at the top students created a sketch of something that they felt was special to them.
When back in the classroom, students and teachers discussed the explorations and reflections that occurred during the walk. These discussions were aimed to help students gather a deeper understanding of how they can explain what makes a place special to them.
It was a fantastic shared experience for all grade 1/2students of an area that should be visited by all Lindisfarne Primary students and their families when able to.
The grade 1/2 teachers and students would like to thank Sara and all the parent/guardian volunteers who came along on our walks.
3/4 Navy:
Our learning focus for our first week back was HASS, specifically ANZAC and family traditions. Students discussed their traditions with their families in preparation for constructing Family History Scrapbooks.
