Students in Yan Yean Learning Community imagined they were explorers, stepping into the unknown Australian landscape and seeing unique Australian creatures for the first time. Students wrote a description of an animal but did not name it. They then read aloud their descriptive text and other students tried to guess the animal. Look at our amazing display wall with the old, journal-like paper (stained with tea!) and a sketch of these unusual creatures!  In Yan Yean Learning Community we had a cracking end to term one. YYLC students had a blast creating a procedural text on how to dye traditional Easter eggs. YYLC students worked hard creating their own procedural text, ensuring their writing piece was specific and easy to follow. We put our writing to the test and used our procedure to hard boil, then dye Easter eggs. YYLC students had a fantastic time participating in this Easter tradition.
To round up Term 1, Yan Yean Learning Community participated in the 'Measurement Olympics'During Mathematics in Term 1, students learned how to estimate, measure and compare the length, width and height of objects using centimetres, metres and other metric units. Mixed Tennis In Term one, the Mernda Park Tennis team won the premiership. We are super proud of our tennis team this term. They put in the hard work and effort into reaching the set goal we had in our minds. It is the first premiership win that we have achieved in tennis in our school’s short history! Getting back to sport after these two years of lockdown gave us a boost in confidence, energy and excitement. Throughout the season, knowing that we had had some loses and some wins it was really hard to tell what was coming next. We are now heading into the Division Finals in Term 4 and…we cannot wait! Eli Quarrell & Johnathon Li Mixed Cricket Mixed Cricket was an electrifying season, packed with many plot-driven games. It was immensely exhilarating and every match had astonishing results. Every team played fairly, allowing us to enjoy an ideal and pleasurable tournament. As well as having an extraordinary season, we achieved runners up, winning all but one match. Thanks to everyone from MPPS that helped to make this tournament possible, all players that participated and played their best to endure a challenging season. We hope you all had as good a time as we did! Ruben Page & Hersh Patel Girls Cricket This term has been absolutely incredible. Before this year girls cricket had never won a game but this season our luck changed. Not only did we win all of our games except one, it was just so awesome to be back into sport again. It finally seems normal! All the girls were fired up and ready to win, finally being out of lockdown it was a boost of enthusiasm. Our competition was fierce and we finished the term equal first, meaning it came down to percentage. Although we didn't win outright, we are so thankful to have had such a fantastic season. We’d like to shout out the entire team and coaches for the amazing season full of games. We would also like to thank them for their hard work and dedication towards the sport. We appreciate all the schools that came together to play after this challenging two years and we are now looking forward to our new sports in Term 2. Paige Smith-Briggs & Cristabella Lekakis
