Learning Experiences Term 2

 The Royal Flying Doctors Incursion

This Term students in the Grade 1/2 area were visited by Tom and Campbell from the Royal Flying Doctors Service. They spoke to students about the rich history and critical importance of the service for Australians. They brought along with them an interactive plane for students to have a hands on learning experience.

Students got to sit in the pilots seat, be an air traffic controller and become either a nurse or doctor while they listened for heart beats. They also spoke of the importance of both doctors and nurses roles being filled by girls and boys.

Mrs McCoy's Gardening Class

Throughout the year Grade 2 students are provided the opportunity to experience a cooking and gardening workshop in small group with Mrs. McCoy. They plant and harvest both fruit and vegetables from our school garden.

Students also experience cooking using the produce they have grown or collected in a recipe. During the lesson students are taught about kitchen safety, food handling and the importance of healthy eating.
