Weekly Wrap Up 12 September 2025
We’ve had a great week 8 at Brighton, and there is a buzz of excitement as we prepare for families to visit and see our STEM learning in action. Please feel welcome on Tuesday next week to visit classes across the school between 8.40 and 9.30, to share their curiosity and resourcefulness. You will see students inquiring into a range of areas;
| STEM Inquiry Questions |
| Foundation Why do living things have different features? |
| Year 1 How can we inform the school community about environmental indicators Aboriginal people use to understand when seasons change? |
| Year 2 4.1 & 4.2 The problem is: We are running out of paper and need to find solutions. 4.7 & 4.8 Red Riding Hood has lost her basket. How can she make a new one using recycled materials? |

| Year 4 How can we educate the community and the world about the South Australian algal bloom, and raise awareness about the impacts of climate change on marine life? |
| Year 5 2.7: How can we create a moving model of our solar system? 2.5 and 2.8: How can we create a lander on Mars that can withstand a landing of less than 2Gs? |
| Year 6 6.1 and 6.4: What factors must we consider when designing a safari park, and how can STEM help us solve this real-world challenge? 6.2 and 6.3: How can our understanding of animal adaptations guide the design of ethical, enriched habitats in captivity that balance biotic and abiotic needs? |
Have a wonderful weekend!
