Last week of Term 1!

Ciao a tutti!

What a week! We have been busy busy busy! This week we have been learning about la vista (sight). The Prep-2 classes have been exploring their sense of sight out in the garden (and practicing for Easter egg hunts while they were at it!), doing a colour hunt around the vegie garden and playground. We learnt about how coloured light reflects off objects and is detected by our eyes which send a message to our brain about what we are seeing. We also learnt the names of colours in Italian, as we hunted for things in the garden that were rosso (red), arancione (orange), giallo (yellow), verde (green), blu (blue), viola (purple), marrone (brown) and nero (black).

The Grade 3-6s had fun learning about optical illusions. Check out some awesome optical illusions here!

You can also find more of the cool optical illusions that we looked at in class here: Illusioni Ottiche - check them out!
