EDI NEWS—THIRD EDITION

Dinosaur Diggers Incursion

The Foundation students also celebrated their 100th day of school by dressing up as anything to do with 100! We explored the number 100 and different ways to count to 100.

This term in Foundation we have been transforming our classrooms into Fairy Tale

land! Here are some of our wondering questions about fairy tales:

I wonder why is the wolf so scary? Goldie

I wonder why the Gingerbread man trusted the sneaky fox? Ted

I wonder why Ariel had a tail? Emma

I wonder why the troll stopped the three goats from going across the bridge? Cruz

I wonder if princess Jasmine ever gets married? Jasmine

I wonder why the three little pigs didn’t lock their door? Byron

Sizzling Start for

Dinosaur in the backyard

OMG! If this happened to someone else they would

cry, but I’m brave enough to handle this by myself. It

was a triceratops! It was stabbing my trees and they

fell on my neighbours. The neighbours said, ‘Get off

the lawn!”

By Tommy M, 1A

Sizzling Start for a Picture Prompt

Ahhhh! Look Dad, there is a Tyrannosaurus Rex! It is

really BIG! It is going to eat us! Run!!!! Phew, that was

close. I can’t believe we saw a real T-Rex.

By Max H, 1B

Dinosaur Incursion Recount

OMG! I can’t believe I found real fossils! I saw one dinosaur egg.

It was amazing because it was bigger than a chicken egg. I smelt

dinosaur poo, it was gross. I learnt that T-Rex’s are very

dangerous. My favourite part was seeing the T-Rex head.

By Abbie McC, 1A

OMG!!! I saw loads and loads of dinosaurs. I saw a T-Rex toy, it

looked really scary to me. I heard a noise, it was a dinosaur

ARRRRRR! I felt a huge dinosaur skill. His name was Tom the T-

Rex. The mum T-Rex is bigger than a dad T-Rex.

By Asha S, 1A

Here I am beginning to run like

the dinosaur stampede. The

stampede was very noisy and

the lady was very funny.

By Archie A, 1A

I was roaring like a

T-Rex.

By Lucy V, 1A

Here we are looking for fossils. I found a

shark tooth. It was cool.

By Scarlett S, 1A

ARGH! There’s a fossil

about to eat me!!!!! Just

kidding. It was only a fossil

that turns into rock.

By Mark P, 1B

WOW! Look at that giant T-Rex head! That

was so cool. By Ruby W, 1B

Look at this humungous fossil. Inside it had

about 60 sharp teeth. By Jessica M, 1B

Woo Hoo! We found some

fossils and animal teeth.

My favourite were the

shark teeth. They were a

bit sharp.

By Matthew B, 1B

WOW! Look how HUGE

this dinosaur foot is

compared to my foot.

YEAR 3


Did you know that the United Kingdom can fit

into Africa over more than 120 times? Kai 2A

Did you know that Mount Everest is about 60 million years

old.? There has been fossils found on it. Finnian 2A

The Year two’s had a fun cultural day. We got to dress up

from our continent, we learnt dances from other countries

and we got to cook and then eat fried rice and gingerbread.

It was a great day!

Remi and Leah 2A

Swimming I hopped in the pool with my clothes on. We swam two

laps then we had to tread water for 5 minutes. By then I

was panting. 4 minutes had past I knew I could do it but I

was so tired! RING!!! The 5 minutes was up. I was relieved!

But we still had to take our clothes off in the water. That

wasn’t easy. Still panting. I hopped out of the pool. I did

it. Jack 2B

Splash! Sloosh! Just a reminder that swimming is on!

Don’t forget to bring your bathers, towel, swimming

cap and goggles! You can dive in and have fun and

learn at the same time. So come to swimming. When I

was at swimming I learnt how to do freestyle and sur-

vival kick with chicken arms and got water pies in my

face. You clearly see swimming is where you should be.

Zoe 2B

Splash! Falling in at the deepest end with my clothes

on! Going under the water! Doing breaststroke, float-

ing and doggy paddle. Getting out of the water. Get-

ting things wet! Sitting next to my best friend on the

bus playing games. Swimming is the BEST!

Ethan 2B Mmm I love the yummy food in Europe. Wow,

it would be so great. We have to go to Europe

to try it. Imagine having waffles for breakfast

every day. Josh 2B

“Mum. Look at that crown!” Mum, if you take me to

Europe we can see the Crown Jewels and they’re very

pretty. You couldn’t see something that cool in

Melbourne. Michael 2B

Yay! I made a treehouse. I am going to

play with my toys in it. It’s for my spe-

cial toys. Elizabeth 2C

Come on, let’s make those treehouses! I

am so excited. Stickers, cardboard,

string, shiny stuff, buttons, colourful

sticks, paper and painting walls. We

made ladders for our treehouses. I put

books in mine, a seat, carpet, a comput-

er, stickers, a bed, some buttons and

one shiny thing. Jiali 2C

Ehh, this is so boring. Oh, what are we doing? That’s

it! I quickly start running to school. I go to the Art

Show and I see some things I can’t describe. Evil ro-

bots, papier mache pigs, silhouette animals...this is

AMAZING! Lucas 2C

Science Day Fun!

Benson– The pointy wire on

the end of my capsule ab-

sorbs the impact. The wings

help make the tip face to-

ward the ground in the air.

Airlie – I have used a

large plastic bag as a

parachute and a

small cardboard tube

to protect the egg.

Scarlett– I think my

capsule will work be-

cause the parachute

will make it stay in the

air longer.

Metaiah– I used large plas-

tic drinking straws hoping

that they protect the egg

and absorb the shock.

Darcy– The egg will be

secure inside the ball and

the hay will protect the

egg from the impact.

Zach– I think the balloons

will help keep the para-

chute up in the air.

Montana– I used 4 bal-

loons to help try keep it

in the air and protect

the egg when it hits the

ground.

Calling all Astronauts! Our year 3

mission was to design and build a

capsule that will protect an egg

from the perils of re-entry

(dropped from a large height).

The objective was to have our

Eggnaut survive a fall from a

SCIENCE

YEAR 4

SCIENCE DAY


THE MAGIC PUDDLE

Channel 9 news right here, right now. 2 kids gone missing the age of 4,

last seen 7 days ago having the time of their lives jumping in a mystery

puddle. The puddle has been there for two weeks, through sun and rain!

That’s all the news we have for now. 9 news OUT!!

“I’m so worried about little Millie and Milo.” Sobbed Jemma. “I can’t

believe they have been missing for more than a week!” Dan yelled

angrily. Jemma and Dan were furious!! “Let’s go look for our kids near

the puddle!” Jemma retorted. “Sure, but I don’t think we will find them.”

Dan announced sadly.

“Ok! We can get in the car now.” Yelled Jemma. Broom! Broom, the car

went as if it was a lawn mower. Along the sidewalk, there was a puddle.

Screech! The car was quite old so it made a loud noise when it stopped.

Anyway, the car was parked right next to the puddle. Just as Dan and

Jemma got out of the car something monstrous happened! “THE PUD-

DLE IS ALIVE!” Dan shouted.

The puddle started to shoot water out of it then, 2 kids!! “There is Millie

and Milo!” Dan and Jemma yelled excitedly! “But! They’re FLYING?!”

Dan was very confused. The kids gave their parents a BIG thumbs up!

“Hi mum and dad! We have superpowers!! Milo was a superhero! “Yeah

and we can stop water by freezing it and the sun evaporates it!” Millie

shouted.

“Um… MILLIE! We need to save the world! Milo yelled crazily. “You stay

right here while we SAVE THE WORLD!!!!” Millie screamed to her par-

ents. “Come on Millie!! People are relying on us!” Called Milo. “OK!! You

don’t have to shout.” Responded Millie. “I WILL FLOOD THE WHOLE

ENTIRE WORLD!” The puddle started shooting out more and more water

per second. “I’ll freeze the puddle and you tell the sun to evaporate it

FAST!!” Milo said like no one was watching. “OK”. Millie was ready to

fight and was raging with anger.

“SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!” The puddle splashed anyone or anything

that got in its way. First he flooded Europe, then America, then Asia,

then Africa and finally Australia! Everyone was PANICKING!

“SSSHHHHHHH!” Milo froze the puddle! “MILLIE!!” Now Milo was

panicking. “Hey sun! Can you please evaporate all that ice down there? ”

Cried Millie to the sun. “OK MILLIE!” The sun replied. “KABOOM!” All the

ice was evaporated!

“BOOYAH! Take that puddle!” Millie and Milo got rid of the puddle!!!!

“HIGH FIVE!!” They said together. “Good job Millie and Milo!!” Mum and

Dad were so proud!

Art show On the 13th of September we had the amazing art show. The Year 4 teachers and students

made past and present TVs with a Brady Bunch theme. The students in every class made

an art piece and the teachers made incredible pieces of art to sell off in the silent auction.

There was also a delicious cake stall – yum!! Here is pictures of our TV’s.

SWIMMING!!!

Have you all enjoyed swimming these last few weeks? Well

we know we have! What was your favourite day of swim-

ming? Our favourite was water safety day. Some of the

activities we did was make a rip. We all ran in a circle and when the in-

structors told us, we would jump up, let go and float on our backs and be

spinning around in a circle. Our next activity was saving someone and

helping them into shore. We all stood in two lines. One person would

jump in the water and the person behind them would throw a pool noo-

dle at them and they would swim back to shore.

By Billy L and Rowan

Year 4 science dome incursion We had an amazing time at the incredible science incursion. We

watched some cool clips about how one big continent called Pan-gea got split into seven smaller continents and how Earthquakes,

tsunamis, tornados and cyclones were made. We learnt that we are standing on the crust of the earth and if you could look through

the ground you would see that there are different layers under the crust that would keep going towards the core.

By Laura and Adrian

Year 4 Inquiry

This Term the year 4’s have been

working around their big question

for this terms inquiry unit, “How

do people plan an overseas trip

that suits their wants and needs?

The Year 4’s had to pick a coun-

try from either Africa or South

America, then we had to make a brochure for a couple with

all the information for the flights, accommodation and activities you are going

to do for a 10 day trip. First you had to plan it on the computer. Then you had

to write it on your brochure.

if anyone reading this is interested in going to South America or Africa come

visit the year 4’s, because they’ve got the trip for you!

Camp!

The bus was a bit of disaster because

everyone and I mean everyone was

singing. Guess what the song was? The

wheels on the bus…. it was terrifying!

The giant swing was incredible and the

flying fox was top notch. The race

around camp you ask? Don’t get me started… it was

super competitive. Remember that sneaky fox? Jokes!

It was those sneaky teachers you need to watch out

for. That’s what you get for leaving your door open I

guess, but at the end of the day they all got their

pillows back. That was our camp experience.

Over and out.

Kids Treasure—By Fletcher, Ollie, Daniel, Ethan F and Josh 5/6D

Hi our team, Kids Treasure are fundraising for people with Coates disease and other eye

diseases. The charity we have chosen is the Jack McGovern Foundation. They help people

all over the world with special needs and people with disabilities associated with Coates

disease and other eye diseases.

Team Sugar—By Airlie, Amalie, Evie and Maya

We have chosen Youth Homelessness for our charity because it is a charity that really
