Camp Australia

Students in Grade 3 last week had a wonderful time at the Polly Woodside for our excursion. Students were able to capture their understanding of

‘Change’ and had an engaging time– spending the day as a crew member aboard the ship. Students were able to scrub the deck, watch a movie based

on what it would have been like aboard the ship, see the entire ship and look through the gallery of historical artifacts. Thank you to the parents that

assisted with the day!

7 HABITS AT HOME

Are you Proactive or Reactive? When shaken, do you explode like a can of soda or stay calm like a bottle of wa-ter? Several classes at Parktone use this analogy to explain how being proactive and being in charge of yourself helps you keep calm. If you realise you are about to be reac-tive, remind yourself to keep calm and write your thoughts down, make a checklist and seek support.

Science Fact from Ms Ziogos Did you know that Carbon comes in a number of dif-ferent forms (allotropes), these include diamond, graphite and impure forms such as coal.
