OSHC NEWS

I would like to introduce myself. My name is

partnership with families is an important

aspect of my role, therefore if you ever have

any questions, concerns, or just want to let me

This year’s book fair will be held on Thursday 20th, Friday 21st and

Monday 24th August in our Seminar Room from 3:00-4:30pm.

Students will have the opportunity to have a look at the book

displays during the day and make a wish list ready to visit the

book fair with their

families after school

on one of the nomi-

nated days. Due to

COVID restrictions

there will only be 10

people allowed in

the Seminar Room

at one time. Families

will also be required

to sanitise and sign

in at the door before

entering the book

fair.

We hope to see you

there!

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
