Tell Me Why? - 5/6 Science Day

The senior unit had a Science day called.....Tell Me Why?

we completed a number of activities and then undertook research to explain what we observed and what practical applications there might be.

We made spirals and held them over a heat source.

We defied gravity with water and card.

  Held ping pong balls in the air using a hair dryer.

Made soap powered boats.

Finally, we researched why?

Market Day

Well Market Day was a raging success.
Our entrepreneurial 5/6s run amazing stalls and raised money to put towards their end of year activities and graduation for this year and next.
All the school had tons of fun and now.......well, we'll have to wait another two years.
Thank you.

Come Fly With Me - Science experiment

This week our students became aeronautical engineers for a day. They constructed a number of planes called O-Wing Flyers and changed variables such as wing circumference and fuselage length before test flying their creations.
It was chaotic......but lots of fun.

Book Week Celebration

What a fantastic Book Week we've had,

There's been books read by teachers in the library, short listed books read in class daily and, the pinnacle of our celebrations........Dress Up Day!!!!!

What an awesome turn out we had. We spotted classic literary characters such as Juliet (sans Romeo), modern classic characters like Hermione and Harry, plenty of Dr.Suess, some Hungry caterpillars and some students and teachers stuck in Wonderland!

It was a fun day and great to see everyone, teachers and students alike, get in to the spirit of the day.

Hiking the Centenary Trail with the Hinchcliffes

This year the Hinchcliffes are walking the Centenary Trail to raise money for the Newborn Intensive Care Foundation. The Newborn Intensive Care Unit looks after critically ill babies to help them get the best start to life.

It’s not because walking is our favorite thing to do, it’s because this year marks 7 years since something happened that changed our lives forever.

In 2010 on the 9th of July Elodie, our sister/ daughter was born but sadly she was not well and did not survive. In her time on Earth she was in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit and they did everything they could for her. So far we have raised $3,460 in under a month!

If you would like to find out more about this wonderful service or donate towards it, please follow the links below.

Thanks kindly.
