With the topic of EDUCATION WEEK being about science, what better opportunity is there to do some science experiments!?
This week we've turned our building into a science lab and we've seen pepper run away, made oobleck jiggle and we've even watched Frankensteins hand rise!

Kinder visits!
Recently, students in our 5/6 building put on their walking shoes and
visited local kindergartens! For some, it was a blast from the past to visit
their old kinder and in some cases, see their past teacher!!
Students interacted with the younger kids and together read books, played games, did puzzles and drew pictures.
We'd love to see some of the smiling kinder students join Lara Primary
School in Prep next year!

HLG @ Serendip
We love when it's our turn to visit our classroom down at Serendip! Each day we have taken a packed lunch, snacks, walking shoes and our hats, to make our way down to Serendip Sanctuary.
The week at Serendip for every class is jam packed with a mixture of environmental and ICT studies and is ALWAYS a highlight!!
For HLG, our week so far has seen us interact with the rangers, take water samples from Hovell's Creek and run some tests on it back at Serendip. We've learnt about the 'ecolinc' app on the IPads, being 'citizen scientists' for the ecolinc specialists. This means, we collected bird data from Serendip and submitted it online.
We've also learnt how to use IMovie on the IPad, creating movies on 'emus', which could potentially be used for an up and coming Serendip app that is currently in the making!
For our Year Sixes, this is the last time they will visit our Serendip classroom (as an LPS student) and boy will they miss it!
