Music
This term all students from K-6 have been participating in music lessons with Garth from the Goulburn Regional Conservatorium. Garth has been teaching the students drumming and percussion skills. Students are honing their skills on our new drums, donated by the Mills family, and on bucket drums. They are working towards a performance at the end of term.
Gymnastics
During term 3 students were taught gymnastics skills by Vaughn from Cheer Fusion Goulburn. Each week they worked on new skills including using the single bar, balance beams and somersaults. Everyone had a great time practising their skills and trying to get better each week. These lessons were provided free to all students thanks to sporting grants the school has received.
Game Creation and Animation
Coding is fast becoming a key skills for students to have as they move into a faster paced, technology driven society. All students from K-6 have been learning to code this term using Scratch and Python. They have used these platforms to create their own animations as well as interactive games. They also participated in a World Record for the most people coding around the world as part of Moonhack 2017, over 20,000 people were involved, including all the students from Laggan Public School!
