Class Five were blessed with a very special visit, from Obi's grandmother Diane Harwood.  Diane has been working in bush regeneration for many years and came to share her knowledge of native plants with the students, as a follow-up to their Botany main lesson.  Next month the students will enjoy more expert insights on this topic, in particular that of pollination, when they visit the head beekeeper at the Honey Meadery.

We have been continuing with our Geometry main lesson.  We are learning about the properties of various types of triangles and quadrangles.  We have also been practicing creating geodesic forms with accuracy, using protractors and compasses.  The colours and shapes that emerge are beautiful.  We have enjoyed an early introduction to Pythagoras' Theorem.  This presented a wonderful opportunity to return to Ancient Greece to discover some of the great thinkers, inventors, and philosophers of that golden era.   

In literacy, Obi has been making great progress with his reading program, while the girls have been enjoying reading and analysing the classic coming of age story, from Louisa May Alcott, Little Women.
