Voluntary collections

Eastwood Public School has been a well resourced school over a long period of time because of the significant contributions made by the community. The voluntary contributions which will be collected by the P&C, along with Spring Fair, allow the school to continually replenish teaching resources, upgrade and expand significantly upon the technology available for students and establish and maintain a school environment that is more conducive to learning. Some examples of the equipment purchased can be seen in the document Areas of P&C funding at our School. The annual Voluntary Collections for parent donations to the P&C’s General Fund, Building Fund and Student Resources Fund will take place in Term 2 on 9th, 10th, 11th and 16th May. On these days, the P&C will be available to process parent contributions at collection tables in the playground, although you can also leave your donation with the school office.

Further information is available in a variety of languages including English, Chinese and Korean.

Parents’ and Principal’s Morning Tea

We are pleased to have one of our own Eastwood parents, Dr Gaurav Tandon, presenting at our first Principal’s Morning Tea for 2012. We are certain parents will have lots to think about and discuss as Dr Tandon covers the topic: “Nurturing to cocoon or to expose?”

We often hear about not enough nurturing of kids, but how about too much nurturing? Is this possible and if so, how does this impact on our children?

We hope you can come along! Look out for more information in our flyer next week, which will also have space for you to write any questions you may wish to ask the School. Mr Witney and Ms Leitch will, as always, be available for our Question & Answer session as part of the Morning Tea. The date is Thurs 17th May, 9.30am in the AV Room.

Anzac biscuits

Last Friday,  2L and two people from 6R made ANZAC biscuits in the staff room. First 2L went to the toilet to wash their hands with soap. Then we went back to the stuff room to make the ANZAC biscuits. Next we sat at the table, Mrs Laurie showed the class what ingredients we need. We started to put the dry ingredients in to the bowl. After that we melted the butter by putting the golden syrup onto the butter and the golden syrup smells like honey. Later we poured the wet ingredients in to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Last, we each get a turn to shape them into ANZAC biscuits. Finally, we cooked the biscuit in the oven. When it is finished we ate the ANZAC biscuits. Yum!!

Making Easter hats with our buddies

I found out when you work together you make friends because you and your buddy are working together to achieve the same goal.  by Elizabeth 2B

I made my Easter hat with my buddy in 4S. My buddy is Robert. My Easter hat has black glitter and three big, plastic eggs and five small eggs. My buddy helped me make the whole hat, but I came up with clever ideas. One of my chicks is in a small egg. My Easter hat has a nest with two chicks and one egg the top. by Edwin 2B

School leaders

The school leadership team for 2012 went to the Impact Leadership Conference. We learnt there are two types of leaders, the watermelon leaders and the strawberry leaders. The strawberry leaders represented a person who on the inside is the same as the outside whereas the watermelon is the opposite. We also participated in numerous activities. For example, the Amazing Race which gave us the chance to meet other leaders from other schools. Everyone had great fun and learnt a variety of leadership skills we can use in our tasks as school leaders.

Dissections

This week Year 4 dissected sheep hearts they got the hearts from the butcher.  They started in groups of 4-5 and learnt what to do from a teacher at Casula High School using a video conference link.  When cutting they found lots of veins connecting the three chambers of the heart. As they went deeper they found a hole or chamber where the blood was pumped through. They found that if you put water in through one of the chambers the heart started to beat. If they put water in another chamber it would stop. This was a very interesting experiment but a little smelly and gross but the students really liked it a lot.
