Welcome to Week 9 - nine tenths of the way through! It is also planning week this week, so things are a little bit different in terms of when we have specialist classes, but we have four days of more or less uninterrupted work time which is great.
Doctor Deane was great fun last week - Jasper was lucky enough to be invited on stage and got to shoot an air-pressure-powered rocket at a simulated moon! The mousetrap experiment demonstrating the principles of nuclear fusion was similarly popular and we have had requests to repeat it in the classroom (or a la Doctor Deane on Hey Hey It's Saturday's recreation in the window at Myer as in the 1990s). We will see - maybe next week. In other sciencey/cosmic curriculum-based news, students are in the final stages of preparing their Eras PPT for presentation at the end of next week.
Notes, reminders and other necessary bits and pieces - notes due back include Year 4 Camp Notice (Year 4 only), UNSW competition (everyone), UMPC notices (Year 4 only), CRE expression of interest and money (only if you would like your child to do CRE - this note went home with the youngest child in the family). Tuesday is our planning day, so please ensure your child is here on time as they will be going straight into specialist classes. There will be no Year 3/4 Sport on Friday; we are not yet sure about Year 5/6 Sport. Our last homework for the term is due next Monday - so Week 9 will be our last homework week for the term. We do not assign homework over the holidays unless requested by individual students.
