Recently we completed a unit on World War Two and we studied Carrie’s War and The Silver Sword. We also studied what led to war and built model aircraft and created a diorama or a war ruined city. As a follow-up to that we visited the Point Cook RAAF Air Museum and viewed an aerobatics…

Werribee Mansion

By Glen Park Primary School | 29 July 2016

What better way to help visualise the lives of characters from Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre than to visit a stately Victorian Manor House and that’s what we did when we went on an excursion to Werribee Mansion.

Hot Scones

By Glen Park Primary School | 16 July 2016

Wednesday 13th was a freezing day but we were able to spend some time playing in the snow but then went inside to a cosy classroom and some hot jam topped scones to warm us up.

New Books

By Glen Park Primary School | 16 July 2016

When our students returned to Glen Park after their term 2 break they each had a pile of new books waiting for them bought specifically to meet their reading interests. We also visit our local book shops on buying expeditions.

Another snow day

By Glen Park Primary School | 16 July 2016

We are being well and truly spoilt this year with snow. On the 13th June we had another big dump of snow at Glen Park over night and we arrived at school to find everything white….and of course very cold!
