There is so much coming up for our Year 6s- this week we are excited to see the band performance, comprised of STEM instruments from the last two weeks. The documentaries are being refined and polished ready for our film festival viewing on Thursday! There'll be dancing, singing, acting and plenty of Christmas Spirit on Friday for the Senior Christmas Concert, it always leaves me with a big smile and a big warm fuzzy! So until the next post it's paper, scissors....
Follow our learning and discovery in LA8 at Tapping PS in Western Australia. We are all about pursuing our personal best- check out what we've been up to!

Coiled Up For Christmas
The finished products are arriving at home to take centre stage at the family table this Christmas! The project took patience from start to finish- the coils, the firing, the painting, the glazing. All so worth it as you can see from the photos. Do you have a favourite?

When the students take over...
Our first student guest post!
The next generation of Paul McCartney’s are here because over the next
few exciting weeks in STEM the students of LA8 are going to become astounding
musicians!!! We are going to be making instruments to play a song of our choice
in our extraordinary bands! Since music is such a big part of our lives we
thought it would be interesting to learn how it is all made and played! From
‘Never Gonna Let You Down’ to ‘Hello’ it is all music and this project is
encouraging student’s creativity no matter what genre they choose. All students
have the chance to shine!!!
Talk about pretzels!! From now on
every Friday LA8 will be twisting into pretzels for yoga! We have been kindly
invited by Ms Z for yoga every week until the end of the term! What a treat!
It is so refreshing to see the persistence in LA8! Moans and groans sometimes,
but we are definitely making progress and that is what I like to see! But, it
is interesting to see how beneficial it is for the students that do dance and
other sports similar to dance when it comes to yoga. I don’t think yoga is one
of our particularly strong points, but if we work on it we definitely can make
it one! You never know!!
The heat is on!! The temperature is
rising, but will it affect us? I don’t think so. We are a persistent and
resilient class and NOTHING should bring us down! You can certainly see the
change in classmate’s attitude, but with a lot of water, air conditioner and persistence
our classroom can still be the safe, happy environment that we have been
working towards all year! I am confident we can do this, so BRING IT ON HEAT!!!
Well, until next time Paper,
Scissors…….
