New Robots
Based on your fundraising efforts so far this year with the Easter Raffle, Hot Cross Bun Drive, Mother's Day Stall and F-Year 4 Disco, we were delighted to hear that the school is very close to being able to purchase exciting new VinciBots for STEM. The VinciBot is a robot that can be programmed with Scratch (block coding) and can also be used to teach Python Programming Language. We think the Vincibot is an extremely versatile robot, in that it can follow texta lines on paper, draw shapes/patterns and is lego compatible. It also has built-in AI features and the robots can be combined to create numerous learning opportunities related to Technology and Science. We are eagerly awaiting our trial robot (due to arrive tomorrow!) to experiment with all of the functions!
Seeing what your generous donations contribute to is so important and we’re so excited to see how further fundraising efforts can continue to enhance programs and facilities for our kids.
F-4 Disco!!
Thank you to everyone who assisted with the F-4 Disco last Friday night. From what we have heard, it was a huge success and the children had a lot of fun. It was nice to see some adults dancing too! We can see where the kids get their moves from!
We look forward to hosting an activity for our Year 5 and 6 students in Term 3. Further details will be announced closer to the date.
