 Super Scientist Term 2

 

Throughout Week 6 & 7 students are required to present an experiment based on a Science concept, as part of our whole school Super Scientist Competition. This presentation should be no longer than 5 (five) minutes in length. The main purpose of the presentation is to explain the science behind what is happening, not just present an amazing experiment. Please click on the picture to find out the details being asked for. Try to link your science experiment to real world applications.





The schedule for students is shown below. It is the students’ responsibility to have everything ready for their equipment on the allocated day.

In Week One we had our annual Anzac Ceremony at school. The Senior Choir performed beautifully and several students had their poems read out. Congratulations to Neve from our class who was one of the chosen poems. We also observed a minute's silence and listened to our special guest – Leading Seaman Irvine.

The day before the ceremony, Room 11 worked with our buddy class, Room 28, to make a wreath to be laid during the service.

Welcome Back



Welcome back to Term Two. I  hope everyone had a relaxing holiday and is recharged for the long term ahead. We have lots of interesting activities planned for the term, including Science investigations and Super Scientists. We have started working on the history of World War 1 and 2 and the ANZAC story. Students will need to keep working on their organisation skills to ensure they manage the work and meet deadlines.
