Naming the STEM Centre
Do you want your say in the naming of the new STEM Centre?
We need your help!
The Stage 4 PBL: Folge Deutsch (Follow German/Kaurna) group is working on a very important project:
Our aim is to promote a design and engineering focus at the school by designing and creating multilingual (English/German/Kaurna) signage for the new STEM building that is currently being built.
This signage will be then allow other future students, staff and the school community to learn some key German/Kaurna words for locations around the school and hence make these languages as a system more sustainable.
Please go to the following link to complete the survey:
Lost Property
Hats, boss tops, casual clothes, drink and food containers are in the lost property trolley in the front office.
A child's watch has also been handed in. It is red/black with the name 'Samuel' on the screen.
Incentive Nature Play
Involving your children in nature-based-play is the modern-mother’s goal, right? It certainly seems so if you do any Insta-scrolling or Facebooking in your spare time.
So, if you want to get some insta-worthy photos this spring (come on, who doesn’t!), why don’t you get your kids out in the backyard helping you with some spring cleaning! They can do simple, safe tasks like:
- Weeding
- Watering
- Collecting sticks
- Spreading mulch
- Planting next season’s veggies
AND, add a “life lesson”: give them a dollar for each task completed (sometimes we all need a little motivation!). This will also help teach them that work equals money, which is an important lesson for any little one to learn!
To continue your child’s financial education all year round, the LLL recommends opening a savings account. According to a recent study, youth with the highest levels of financial understanding had a savings account as a child.
Talk to the school office about opening an LLL Children’s Saving Account, or visit www.lll.org.au/child for more information. And while you’re online, follow the LLL on our newly created Facebook page – search LLL Australia.
