book fair with their

nated days. Due to
COVID restrictions
there will only be 10

the Seminar Room

will also be required
to sanitise and sign
in at the door before
entering the book
fair.
We hope to see you

STRINGS
The hardest thing for musicians is not having anyone to hear the results of all their practice so at this difficult
time, the Victor Harbor R-7 String Ensemble decided to go in search of an audience. The first stop was the foyer
of the Middle School Building, followed by the front office and ending with an outdoor performance to a passing
class. The string players had a great time and from the reactions of the audiences, they did too.
Well done to Sophie N, Melody, Jai, Angus, Oliver, Noah, Felix, Sophie P, Danika and Finlay.
Judy Fletcher, Teacher.

SCIENCE
The Year 6 & 7 students have been studying chemistry. This topic is based on solutions, separations, and reactions. One class has performed an experiment in which they classified mixtures as solutions, colloids, or suspensions. They needed to make accurate observations and draw conclusions from them. They will now go onto experiments which they will design to compare the solubility of different substances, and another self-planned experiment in which they will compare the reactivity of different strengths of vinegar (acetic acid). The planning phase will introduce them to the 'scientific method' which underlies how science operates in the real world. Mr. Smee
