Random Act of Kindness

We have loved these beautiful flowers which just appeared on our table at the beginning of the week. So far no-one has admitted being the provider. If it was you, then thank you!

Camp

We are back from camp and what a fabulous time we had. 

We all tried new things and felt really good about ourselves when we got home.

That was a long walk but when we got to the beach at the other end we had lots of fun.

One of the highlights of camp was the waterslides. We even had to have a turn before we left on the cold Friday.

The Launch Shop

On Monday 25th November 2013, Launch's keen shopkeepers will have a treat for you. They are showing you what they have learnt all about how Maths in used in shopping. They have decided that they wish to raise some money for some new shovels for our sandpit. So they will be selling both cakes and bookmarks for $1 each at morning tea.

 Come along and see what you can buy!

Swimming!! So much fun!!

No! to Noise

Today in Science, we created 'ear muffs' to see which materials were the best at blocking out sounds. We talked about how this is linked to noise pollution and things like sound-proofing. Here are some of the photos from our experimenting:

Discover Camp update (15:30 Wednesday)
Camp is now POSTPONED until Wednesday 20 November - Friday 22 November.  The camp is still without power and drinking water and they cannot tell us when it will be back.  Activities have also been closed and will be unable to run including the go kart track and the flying fox.

This means that the rest of this week is business as usual (including school uniforms!)  Thanks for the patience and please pass on this message to those who may not have access to the Internet due to power outages.  Thanks Lynley, Sue and Amy.

Thanks
