Welcome to Banksia in 2020!

Banksia is a Pre-primary to Year 5 classroom. We have 8 awesome students this year; Alexis, Christopher, Cyril, Elijah, Elizabeth, Ian, Joshua and Zhiqing. Two of the students; Cyril and Elizabeth are new to Carson Street School while Alexis, Joshua and Zhiqing join us from other classes within the school. All students have settled into our routines and programs with ease and are already forming friendships with each other.

This Term our curriculum topic is ‘Australia Our Country’  we are reading Mem Fox’s Possum Magic to learn a bit about the different states in Australia.

In our classroom, our focus is on developing independence, social skills, communication skills, play skills and just enjoying each other whilst learning. The students participate in swimming, music, STEM, sensory/Perceptual Motor Program as well as Flexability and Community Access. Although our timetable is very busy this year, we look forward to what lies ahead for all our students.
