Cross-Country
Cross - country happened at the end of Week 5. Luckily, students had managed to practice for the race between the rain showers over the previous weeks. Those students who qualified for the event tried their best to keep running the whole distance without stopping. Congratulations to all students who participated.
We are now busy preparing for the Sports Carnival in Week 7. Jumps and Throws are planned for Wednesday morning and the carnival on Friday. Students love having family their to cheer them on and we hope to see many of our families on the day.

Science Week
We had a fabulous time focusing on Science during Week 5. We found out interesting information about Science in our "Did you know" slides, especially about our planet and the solar system. On Wednesday afternoon Mr Sanderson organised a Science Tabloid afternoon with lots of different activities.
In Year 6 we made rocket balloons, paper aeroplanes and helicopters, built amazing towers and tasted yummy ice cream we made ourselves, using ice and salt. It was a great afternoon. Students also got to take part in a Science patch design, Science Quiz and paper aeroplane competition. A big thank you to Mr Sanderson for all his work helping us celebrate all things Science during the week.

NAIDOC Incursion
In Week Two, as part of our work on the aboriginal people of Australia, we learnt more about the first people of Australia. We have been talking about Australia's history and the roles famous indigenous women have played in promoting the aboriginal people. We had an incursion by the Water Corporation,which talked about learning from the aboriginal people about how to look after the land and water. We looked at stories through pictures and symbols. In class, we have been writing biographies of famous aboriginal women and making timelines around the themes of the NAIDOC Week each year.

Term 3 Student Representatives
Congratulations to all the new Student Representatives for Term Three. Special mention to Chelsea I, McKenna, Ali, Nyima, Lachlan, and Jin-Ai from Room 11. The reps are learning about their new duties and have already held a School Council Meeting and assembly. I look forward to working with the team this term.

Road Safety
At the end of Term Two, students entered a competition run by the West Australian Newspaper. The students had to design a poster to promote road safety. We had been learning about many rules and myths surrounding road safety, as part of our work in Health. The students really enjoyed using their computer skills to design a poster and had to think about what elements to include to persuade the audience and make their information stand out. The results of the competition will be in the West Australian later this month.

Welcome back to Term 3.
It promises to be another busy term with Book Week, Sports Carnival, My School Rules competition plus our normal program. I'm looking forward to a wonderful Term Three.It was good to get back to school after enjoying my extended holiday in Europe. I had a wonderful time visiting Italy. It was great to be immersed in the beauty, history, food and language. Some photos below to show you all this beautiful country. It was great to have the opportunity to cheer on my son, and the Australian U23 team, at the World Championships in Ivrea. Hopefully the language skills I've been practising whilst away will flow on into the classroom.
