The children found a tiny, but very hungry caterpillar hidden among the flowers in the Dabrowskiego garden. This inspired our learning, and we began investigating more - Why are some caterpillars different colours? Where do they live? What do caterpillars like to eat? We read Eric Carle's, 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and were surprised at just how much food one tiny caterpillar was able to munch on - what a lot of food! Toucans transformed themselves into tiny caterpillars and decided they would like to do their very own taste testing, trying out some of the fruits found in the story. We sampled an apple, pears, plums, strawberries, and oranges. At the end, the children were invited to share their favourite with the class by placing a sticker by their favourite fruit. It's official - Toucan's favourite fruits are strawberries with an impressive seven votes! The least favourite were plums with just one vote. It is wonderful to see the children's interest in nature is growing and it is a joy to hear our curious learners asking lots of questions about things that interest them.

‘If you would like the once in a lifetime opportunity to come to the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, then this is your chance! This year, we are asking students to submit a short video which asks you to complete this following statement: If I were an innovator at MIT, I would.. The videos should last between 90 seconds and 3 minutes’… – this is a message I found in the TBS newsletter in March 2024.
The Max Box Project was an excellent opportunity for Year 9 students to engage in a hands-on task that not only reinforced their understanding of mathematical concepts such as volume, nets, and algebraic modeling but also promoted critical meta-cognitive skills. The task, which involved determining the maximum volume of an open box made from a 20 cm x 20 cm square, required students to think deeply, plan, reflect, and adjust their approach as they progressed. This end-of-unit project encouraged self-awareness of their learning processes while fostering essential problem-solving skills.
