News & Events
Compost
We have many weekly jobs in the garden and compost duty is a big one. Students collect the compost bins from around the school, chop and sort food to feed our worms and chooks. This week, another group planted some seeds and started to build a chook guard so the chooks don’t get to them.

Making Clay
This week in Bush Talk we used our home- made sieves to separate rocks from soil. The first step to making our own clay. It was messy and lots of fun!

Biometrics
Grade 5/6 students investigated some questions about their biometrics: Is your height the same as your arm span? Can you perform a standing broad jump approximately the same distance as your height? What a great way to integrate health and mathematics!

Painting
In the Art Room there were plenty of ooh's and ahhhh's whilst stamping, dotting, playing with paint, mixing colours and experimenting with mark making on canvas, card and paper.

Making Wreaths
This week in Bush talk we started to make our own sieves to sift the rocks out of soil to make clay in a few weeks. We made a wreath out of ivy vines and sewed netting onto the wreath with flax we harvested last week. It was satisfying making our own tools for a job!

Journalists
Our grade 3/4s enjoy the new role of being a journalist in the kitchen/garden program and I'm sure they will be excited to see their articles and photos published.

Pointillism Painting
Like a Georges Seurat pointillism painting, our teachers and Education Support created an image of a Mullum Primary School student. Each dot of paint represents all the interactions we have every day, contributing to the overall development of students in our care. Our students then gave their teachers direct advice on how to help them with their learning. I am sure you will agree that collectively this has created quite an impressive display!

Cooking
“Today grade 3/4 M did the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program (SKAG).
Last week we cooked. This week we enjoyed eating Indian Flat Bread, Cucumber Raita and Garden Salad. We thought that the food was super, luper, grouper great. Our favourite was the Indian Flat Bread. We also liked the salad. We think we could add chicken, sugar and soy sauce to improve the cucumber salad.
Thanks from Carter and Alanis”

Buddies
Our Foundation students had their first session with their Grade 5 and 6 buddies and it was a lot of fun! Grade 5 and 6 took their buddies on a Scavenger Hunt to show them around the school and get to know them better. We're looking forward to our next session together!

The Art Room
It’s been a busy couple of weeks in the Art Room, getting to know where materials live, learning about our routines, deciding on our learning expectations and organising our Visual Diaries. It’s been a fun adventure so far, beginning with painting and drawing and making Art for a whole hour!

Playground
We are so excited to let you know that the playground will be finished tomorrow! That means from next week students will be able to play on it. Two hundred plants are on their way and a big planting session will be held with some classes next week.

Teddy Bears' Picnic
Grade 1 students enjoyed a teddy bears’ picnic and old-fashioned games, as a part of the introduction to our Talk for Writing recount text ‘The Teddy Bears’ Picnic’. This helps to build enthusiasm for upcoming learning, when the children are explicitly taught the skills required to structure their recount writing and enhance their sentences.
