BEEBOTS VISIT US FROM SCITECH

This term we were lucky enough to have some robots called Beebots visit us from Scitech. It was great to see so many classes having a go with the Beebots and having fun with them. The children had lots of fun learning how to programme the Beebots and put in to action their coding skills, not to mention their problem solving skills. Well done to Mrs Krieg's class who are pictured here.

NAIDOC CELEBRATIONS

On the 30th of June (last day of term 2), East Victoria Park Primary School will be celebrating NAIDOC week. There

will be a full day of activities for our students to enjoy. Parents are invited to attend the morning session and join in

the fun (8.50-10.40am). Some activities include boomerang decorating, damper making and dream time stories. A

very special thankyou to Bunnings East Victoria Park for their very generous donations towards equipment for the

day.

RM 1 – ‘THE WILD THINGS’ BOOK CHARACTERS

During our Art lessons recently, students in Room 1 drew an art piece based on the

book, ‘The Wild Things’ and wrote about their characters as well. The students

were so excited they came to the office to ‘show off’ their lovely work. Check out

some of the beautiful art work which is proudly on display in the office. Well done

and congratulations boys and girls. Here are some extracts of some of their work.

‘My character is big, young and wild. It’s colour is green. It has yucky teeth, lumpy

finders and stubby short legs. It has lots of eye lashes and has a fluffy head and

scaly arms. It’s name is Poh.’

By Katherine Bisley Year 1 Rm 1

‘My character has a heart nose and also he is a monster. He has rotten teeth and a fat belly. He has only four

fingers and two arms. He is tall and fat. He likes to eat fish and chips. “I like icecream too!” he says.

By Charity Day Yr 1 Rm 1.

Parliament and Civics Education Rebate

(PACER)

The Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) is an initiative of the Australian

Government which provides some financial assistance for students in Year 4-12 across

Australia to travel to Canberra, the nation’s capital.

Students from our school will soon be undertaking an education tour of the national capital. Students will be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national

capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the

Australian Government is contributing funding of $240.00 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education

Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the

excursion.
