On Saturday nine of our students represented the school in the finals of the Indonesian Speaking Competition, Sayembara Lisan.  The students have worked very hard to reach the standards expected of children at this level of competition.  I would like to acknowledge their excellence as well as the support they have received from their parents and Bu Hurt.  We will know the results of the competition shortly.

At Drysdale PS we have are beginning to collect plastic bottle tops. These plastic lids can be recycled and are being made into plastic filament which is used in 3D printers to create prosthetic hands. This amazing technology is being used for people in war torn countries or for those in need.

Please bring along your bottle top lids that are numbered 2-HDPE and 4-LDPE to Ms Hoyne’s classroom (2H) and we will pass them on for recycling.

See the web link for more about the great work this initiative is providing

Last week the students in Year 2 had a very engaging, hands on incursion by Mad About Science. They discovered and experimented with kitchen chemicals by making and mixing materials together and observing the reactions and changes. They were even lucky enough to make themselves some Sherbet to take home with them.

Here are some students reflection about their science experience:

·         The most interesting thing I saw today was making the sherbet. Harper

·         At Mad about Science,  I enjoyed how I saw yeast breathing. Will

·         The most interesting thing I saw today was when we turned the clock on with the lemon. Tilly

·         I really liked asking questions because it made me feel like I know more stuff about science. Lucy

·         The most interesting thing for me was when the vinegar and baking soda mixed together and the bubbles when up and then down. Isla

There is an increasingly large pile of lost property gathering at the back of the hall, if your child has lost something this is a great place to look for it.  Please can we ask that all clothing is named as we do try to reunite named items with their owner.  Towards the end of term, lost property that is neither named nor claimed is donated to our second hand uniform shop.

It has been another fun filled week at OSHC. We celebrated Reconciliation week with decorating Aboriginal flags, sharing dream-time stories, making wool turtles and making our own rainbow serpents. The highlight for the children was getting to make and eat damper on Friday. For many of them it was the first time they had eaten damper, and they experimented with putting different things on it, such as honey or Vegemite. How much more Australian can you get…Vegemite on Damper. Yum. Read more…
