🏕️✨ Last week, while some of our Year 5 students were away on camp, those remaining at school enjoyed a range of exciting activities and team challenges! 🎉

Over the three days, students competed in a friendly team competition 🏆, earning points through activities such as creating a marble run ⚙️, Amazing Olympics 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🥇, Capture the Flag 🚩, trivia quizzes 🧠❓, hut building 🛖, and much more!

It was wonderful to see the outstanding teamwork 🤝, determination 💪, and enthusiasm 😄 displayed by all students as they participated, challenged themselves, and supported one another throughout the week. 🌟👏

A fantastic few days filled with fun, collaboration, and plenty of smiles! 🎉😊🏅

💙😊 This term in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), our Grade 6 students have been learning about emotional regulation and bullying prevention. 🧠🤝

🌟 We have focused on building respectful relationships and understanding how to manage emotions in different situations. A key focus has also been understanding bullying and the role of an upstander 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️, including how to recognise bullying 🚫 and take positive action to support others. 💛

🎭✏️ Students have practised these skills through role plays, scenarios, and comic strip activities in a safe and supportive environment. 🗣️📖✨

👏 We are proud of the way our students are developing empathy, resilience, and the confidence to make positive choices that help create a caring and inclusive school community. 🌈🤗💙

We are delighted to share that our recent Biggest Morning Tea was a wonderful success, raising an incredible $836 for a great cause! 🎉

This achievement was made possible through the generous contributions of homemade goods, donations from our school community, and the silent auction of Brendan’s artwork. 🎨✨

A special thank you to Gina Waterfeld from Coolaroo South Primary School, and everyone who donated, attended, contributed, and supported this event. Your generosity and community spirit helped make the day such a success. 💛

🧪🔬 This term in science, students continued developing their understanding of Chemical Sciences through a range of hands-on investigations and design challenges. 🧑‍🔬✨

🌈 Students explored how materials can be changed and tested their properties through activities such as ink chromatography, where they discovered that some inks are made from a mixture of different colours. 🎨🔍

🏗️ They also investigated the strength and stability of materials by constructing solid structures using Blu Tack and pop sticks, applying problem-solving 🧠 and teamwork 🤝 skills.

🥛 To further explore irreversible changes in materials, students created their own casein plastic from milk, observing how chemical processes can produce new materials with different properties. 🧪➡️🧱

📋 Throughout the term, students made predictions 🔮, recorded observations ✏️, analysed results 📊, and used scientific language 💬 to explain their thinking.

👏 It has been wonderful to see our young scientists showing curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking as they explored the world of Chemical Sciences! 🌟🔬🧪
