IBPYP Update - Year 4
The Year 4 classes have been learning about forces and
energy through our Unit of Inquiry into 'How the World Works'.
We recently attended a science presentation and workshop
on energy and forces.
"I learnt that using a yo-yo is a push/pull force" - Max D
"My favourite workshop was making electricity out of
vinegar" - Harry T
"We investigated the forces of gravity with 2 ramps and a
few toy trains. The trains rolled down the ramp because of
gravity then slowed down because of friction" - Marcus H
"I liked how the woman dropped a match in a bottle that had gas
and flammable liquid in it. It went BANG with fire. It was amazing" -
Lachlan D
Over the next 3 weeks, we are conducting in-class experiments
such as 'Speed Racer', 'Dropping, Rolling, Throwing, Bouncing' and
'There's a Fraction too Much Friction' as workshops.

Room 1 Art Exhibition - Burnside Library
As part of our Unit of Inquiry ’How we express ourselves’, Room 1 has been inquiring into
‘Artistic expressions influences lives, emotions and wellbeing.’ Students have created an
expressive art piece throughout the last four weeks. Our stunning masterpieces will be
displayed at the Burnside Library from 29 August for five weeks.
We hope that you are able to attend and appreciate our collection of outstanding artist
expressions, and support our school community.

Oliphant Science Update
Well done to all those who have submitted a project for judging this year. A special
congratulations to Aayan K, Anneliese B, Lilijana K and Nathan A for receiving a "Highly
Commended" achievement for their entries, and to Angus C, Amelia C, Siddharth P and
Anas Q for receiving an award for their efforts. Angus, Amelia, Siddharth and Anas will be
invited to a presentation ceremony later this year in recognition of their work, where they will
receive their prize.
Sensational work everyone!!!

Digital Technologies/STEM
Several year levels have recently been involved
in a range of coding opportunities, using various
programming options.
Our Year 4 students are discovering Scratch and
how it can be used to create an interactive
digital   animation,    highlighting   different
forces. These animations are tied in with their
Unit of Inquiry, How the World Works, and
showcase their understandings of the Central
Idea, Forces affect movement of objects.
                                               Year 6 &7 students are beginning to code using
                                               the BBC Microbit, and working together,
                                               recreated the electronic signage seen at
                                               sporting         stadiums        around     the
                                               world. Collaboratively they wrote code to be
                                               used on each computer, turning on and off the
                                               LED lights so that the 'arrow' appeared to move
                                               from one screen to the next. Next, the students
                                               will explore future applications for their use,
                                               including its Bluetooth capabilities.

ICAS Testing - Week 7
For those families who have registered for the 2020 ICAS Testing, please be aware of
the upcoming dates. As the testing takes place after school, I suggest students have a
healthy "brain food snack" to eat prior to sitting the test.
All testing will be held in the iCentre from 3:40 pm.
Students are required to bring their Chromebooks, however one will be provided for students
who do not have a Chromebook.
Monday 31/8: Years 3 & 4 Maths (Year 3 & 4 - 45 min)
Wednesday 2/9: Years 5 - 7 Maths (Year 5 - 45 min: Year 6 & 7 - 60 min)
