Can you believe there is only three weeks left of the 2020 school year? We are well and truly on the home stretch as we head towards Christmas holidays.

REMEMBRANCE DAY Last Thursday our students and staff paused for a minute silence to reflect and thank our service men, ladies and animals who currently serve or have served in the

past to keep us and our country safe. It is always promising to see our young students participate with respect and understanding. “We will remember”. STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT Bauple Staff and the P&C have completed our revised Student Code of Conduct. We will be sharing this with the community for the 2021 year. Thanks to those who have contributed to the creation of this document. MOBILE PHONES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES Staff continue to have concerns for how some of our students are using their electronic devices. We have had reports that there has been inappropriate use of devices outside of school but the incidents are beginning to impact on relationships and engagement at school. If communicating online, it is vital that we COMMUNICATE KINDLY and abide by the same expectations we share if communicating face to face. If allowing your children to access games on the internet, PLEASE BE AWARE that they are potentially coming in contact with unknown adults from across the world posing to be peers. Please speak to your children about appropriate use of electronic devices and monitor how they are using the device. We will be working our way through a series of “Net Safe” videos during our B4L lessons. You may like to also follow up at home to reinforce key messages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7FOk1-Jzus 2021 ENROLMENTS – For School and e-Kindy We would be delighted to meet any new students and are accepting enrolments. Please let family or friends know that we are taking enrolments for 2021 and look forward to meeting them soon! communicating face to face.

FREE TRIP TO K’GARI (FRASER) ISLAND One of our Rangers, Krista, has invited students and parents to write a Trip Advisor review to share highlights of our camp experience. You might like to thank Krista for leading our raft building or canoe activity. You might like to tell about the fun and learnings we shared during our scavenger hunt, camp

fire and beach walk. Please take the time to share some positive feedback about our camp experience and then take advantage of the gift card to score yourself a barge ride for two absolutely free. A perfect way to spend a day over the Summer break! Please refer to the card attached to this newsletter FRASER ISLAND CAMP Students have spent some time to reflect and share some camp stories and photos with you this week.

Seniors have been extra busy the past few weeks working on assessment tasks in several subjects. Students have been learning about Earth and Space and have worked towards an independent research project. Some students have created a Powerpoint presentation with voiceover, while others have created a poster to display. This week we viewed the livestream of the launch of the Space X rocket, which was an exciting addition to our Science learning.

English assessments are well underway. Year 6 students have written a speech discussing author style and will soon participate in a panel discussion. Year 3 and 4 have been writing about setting and character descriptions in Rowan of Rin.

Last week many of our Year 5 and 6 students attended the Big Day Out at Maryborough State High School. Students experienced a range of learning activities, including digital technology (coding), P.E., manual arts, science and HASS. All students displayed great behaviour and enjoyed the day.

P-3 News Students have really enjoyed learning about Earth and Beyond this term. Students are currently completing an assessment task to share their understanding of key concepts. Ask your child about some of the things they know about Earth and the Solar System. During English time we have been constructing our recipes. Students have produced some very interesting and disgusting recipes! They are currently preparing Power Points and then will present their recipes. During math time we have been enjoying math games to practise our number facts and learn more about fractions. We have also been revising 2D and 3D shapes and learning about angles. Keep learning and enjoy the rest of your week! Jess Chin
