2021 Book Fair – Reading Oasis

A sincere thank you to our families who came through our Scholastics Book Fair that was held recently. We sold over $6000 worth of books which has helped us to earn nearly $2000 to spend on Lexile reading books for our students’ home reading.

A special thank you to Dee Wright and Candice Ladd and their team who helped so much and to the generous Mary Mac staff members who also came in to help. All orders have now been delivered to the students.

The winners of the colouring competition were:

• Kindy – Anna
• PrePrimary – Hazel
• Year 1 – Sarah-Rose
• Year 2 – Isabella
• Year 3 – Bianca
• Year 4 – Sadie
• Year 5 – Louise
• Year 6 – Ryan

Congratulations to you all!

Mrs Glenister-Bielby

MMCCPS Science Week

6th – 10th September 2021

The school theme for National Science Week 2021 is Food: Different by Design. It honours the United Nations International Year of Fruits and Vegetables and the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development.

To help celebrate we are running two MMCCPS Science competitions. The first one is open to junior students from PP-Y2 and the second is open for Y3-6 students.

The junior classes will be designing a yummy salad and the upper classes will be looking at microscopic images of fruit and vegetables and matching their seeds.

We have some wonderful prizes to give away to one lucky winner in each grade.

All classes will get their competition entries in their Science class this week or you can pick one up from the Science room from Monday to Thursday.

We will also have some fruit and vegetables to observe and investigate. Students will have the opportunity to look at them closely with the microscopes and see how to play the piano with a banana!

On Tuesday 7th September, some of the Enrichment children will be showcasing a Science topic of their choice at our Science Expo. All classes will get a chance to go down to the hall to view the exhibits.

Additionally, we have organised a super exciting Science incursion with Science Alive for all the classes from PP-Y6.

Entries for the competition are due Wednesday 8th September.
