Week 3, Term 4 4MB Class activities

Dear Parents,

We have an upcoming excursion to the Australian National Maritime Museum on Thursday 22 August. I am looking for 2 parent helpers for this excursion. If you are able to help out, please contact the office. This will be an exciting excursion as we will learn about what life was like for explorers in the past and climb aboard Captain James Cook's HMB Endeavour.

We had some exciting learning activities with Miss Steinert this week. Here is the class investigating the different types of weathering and erosion and the effects on our environment in Science.
