Today, a number of our Year 5 + 6 students are showcasing their Science Fair projects in the Activity Centre. For these students, the whole project has been a very good learning experience as they explored an idea, researched the science behind the idea, formulated a hypothesis, considered variables, carried out experiments, wrote up the process keeping a reflective journal along the way and summarised their findings on a display board. It is a project that requires students to be curious, attentive, reflective, fair and self-managing (amongst many other things).
Special thanks goes to Mrs Kerslake who has facilitated the Science Fair Projects this year.
These projects will now be presented to the regional Science Fair judges next week.
We are excited now be able to warmly invite you and your extended family to our 'Arts Extravaganza'! The theme of the event is 'Community' and is a celebration of our children's' creativity and hard work showcasing their Term 3 Drama, Dance, Music and Visual Art. There will be a range of items and displays for you to see around the school presented by classrooms, small groups and individuals. We will also be unveiling our new school mural!
When: Thursday 27 September at 5.30pm onwards Where: Myross Bush School What to bring: BYO picnic and blanket Price: $5 per adult (children are free)
A coffee cart will be available and the Friends of the School will also be selling American Hot Dogs on the night.
Don't miss this opportunity of celebrating together! If there are neighbours in your area that may like to come along, due to a connection with the school, please feel free to invite them to purchase a ticket or better yet, get one for them. :)
Tickets are now available at the School Office. These may be paid for by internet using the reference ARTS or cash to the office.
We look forward to finishing the term by celebrating together as a community.
A reminder that our School Health Nurse, Rebecca Curtis, is available if you need help with any health matters.
She is a wonderful support for our staff, students and families. If she can't help with your inquiry, she will point you in the right direction.
If you know of someone who is looking for Relieving work, please direct them to the school office.
There is a shortage of relieving teachers which is putting pressure on our classrooms. Thanks for your help!
