Week 1 (week beginning) Monday 4th February 2019
- Welcome back! Hope you had a fabulous holidays. I'm Mrs Luton, your new Digital Technology teacher. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and can't wait to work with you exploring and learning about Digital Technologies together. Term 1 we are looking at Food and Fibre and exploring how technologies are used in industries to make things easier.
Week 2 (week beginning) Monday 11th February 2019
- What a great start to the term! It was so good to meet you all and share your enthusiasm for learning about the topic we are studying this term, Food and Fibre. It was great to hear that many of you know a thing or two about farming and that the Year 6's seem to have a common interest with camping (me too!). This week we will be looking at how long it takes to do certain jobs around the farm (Year 1 & 2), where our source of food and fibre comes from (Year 3 & 4) and gaining an insight into some technological innovations (Year 5 & 6). Looking forward to a great week.
Week 3 (week beginning) Monday 18th February 2019
- We had a great week of learning and investigating new terminology I think we found the 'clothing technology' very interesting in Year 5 and 6. Year's 3 and 4's did a great job creating flowcharts of how our products get from the farm to us and the Year P's, 1's and 2's loved exploring different farm activities. Be sure to click on the 'classes link' to check out the photos of Hawker Park PS students doing their work. Looking forward to another good week :)

- This week the year 5/6's are presenting their speeches about why our school should have something from the Junior Landcare Program at our school (week 3), so be sure to check out the videos of their speeches on our website next week. Year 3/4's are creating a poster showing, 'How Agriculture has changed from Traditional methods to Modern day'. And the P's, 1's and 2's will be looking at farm activities and how long they take.

Week 7 (week beginning) Tuesday 19th March 2019
- This week the year 5/6's will be introduced to their Design and Produce Task where they can choose out of two options in the pig farming industry. The 3/4's will be looking at recipes online and deciding as a class one that they can make in week 8 and the P's, 1's and 2's will look at creating a farming calendar that outlines what needs to be done on a farm throughout the year.
