Clapham Primary School

This year we will be holding student-led learning conversations instead of parent – teacher interviews. The difference in the format provides the student the opportunity to be involved in the discussion about their growth/progress as a learner. During the conversation your child will show evidence of their learning (journal/folio, photos, work samples) and provide information to clarify what they have learnt, what are the next steps in their learning and what progress they are making or support they require to achieve their goals.

 Learning conversations will be held from Monday 29th March to Thursday 1st April and will be 15 minutes duration.

 We look forward to sharing your child's progress with you.

We started our year with the learning of Zodiac animals’ race. The students created their own ushi to celebrate the ‘Ushi Doshi’ which means 2021 is the year of the Bull/Ox.

Enriched learning has been taking place in Japanese lessons and students are showing great enthusiasm in improving their Japanese skills. Room 11 and Room 13 have been learning the numbers, colours and animals in Japanese.

Room 7 students have been learning about Sun Safety and the effects of the sun on our skin in Health. To demonstrate the effects the sun has they conducted a sausage skin experiment. Can you guess the results?

Last Friday we celebrated Harmony Week and Australia’s cultural diversity with a splash of orange and a whole school lunch on the oval. 

Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.
