This week we had a visit from the Snakebuster who taught us about snake safety and equipped us with skills when we come across a snake, and more importantly so we dont panic in the event of seeing one! He brought with him a range of animals from frogs, blue tongued lizards to 5 of the worlds most deadliest snakes.....(all with their fangs removed) such as a Red Belly Blacksnake, Taipan and a Brownsnake.
Some other exciting things that have been happening in 5/6 have been getting our teeth stuck into weekly Science rotations exploring Chemical Science. We are at the half way point of these activities with our CSIRO incursion rapidly approaching. We have been exposed to popping popcorn, bouncing eggs, growing rust, exploring sugar and much much more.
Groups is yet to begin so this week our Assistant Principal did an amazing session with us on Bullying and now we are able to target certain behaviours and be on the look out for the Queen Bee & Tough Guy!! Remember Who wants to be THE COMPASSIONATE SUPPORTER?
Great news that interschool sport is back this year, the bad news is we had a bye this week. So some more practice was had by our Lakes teams. Good luck to those competing this week.
From next week students will take full ownership of this blog and you as parents will be able to be updated by your children about the weekly happenings of 5/6.
See you next week.

Hi Grade 5/6,
love the look of the new blog. The preps enjoyed the visit on Friday and are looking forward to more activities with their 5/6 friends. Nathan Begg told me he had "the best day with his new friend." You made a good impression Ben.
Keep an eye on the preps at recess and lunch.
Keep up the good work.

Hi 5/6's!
Fantastic blog! I love catching up on everything you have been doing. I have walked past a few of those science experiments - they look very interesting!
Thanks for showing such maturity on Friday during buddies. The Preps think you are so cool and so 'old.'
See you around,
