Using tools and technologies 3. Being Ambassadors 4. Impacting on your community 5. Involving helpers and volunteers 6. Each term our school adopts a whole school theme around which teachers can link their work in all subject areas if they wish.
Teachers are free to have other themes during the term as well.
The Internet project was designed to widen the scope of the theme for all the children in our school as well as contributing to the work of teachers in other schools. Many aspects of technology were used in conjunction with this project and they are listed under question 2. Several classes organised excursions to bushland areas or to areas of our own school bushland to cover aspects of the science and the environmental studies sections of our curriculum. Every class in the school was involved in propagating trees. Science classes conducted experiments about plant growth and learned about parts of plants and observed minibeasts.
