IPS Does Making It 

Have you seen the new TV show on channel 10 called Making It?  It’s a bit like a Maker/Crafting version of MasterChef.  

In each episode competitors, are given a theme that draws its inspiration from popular trends in crafting and DIY and they must come up with a brilliant creation that is judged.  In the end, only one hopeful will have crafted and DIY’d enough to earn the title of Master Maker.

We thought the IPS community could have some fun and do it better!  So, we are running the IPS Does Making It Competition! 

Interested?

• To join in, form a team.  We want parents/carers to work with their children and form a Family Team.  Only one family per team and teams must comprise of kids and parents/carers.
• Each family team has 20 days starting from 8th October to Make It!
• The theme is ‘COMMUNITY’
• Each family team will create,  build, make or invent something that relates to the theme of ‘Community’.   You can use any materials you might have at hand. Recycling and upcycling bits and bobs would be amazing!
• As you work on your creation, send through ‘sneak peek’ or ‘teaser’ pics to ivanhoeprimaryvic@gmail.com  and see if you can spot yours in our newsletter.

We hope when restrictions ease that we will be able to hold a Covid-safe Expo Afternoon where creations will be on display and everyone will be able to come and view the creations of our talented families.  Of course, we have an alternative up our sleeve if this isn’t possible.

Oh! Did we forget to mention that there may be PRIZES?

Most of all, have fun working together and watching others as you all become Makers and Inventors!

The Final Wally Challenge

The final challenge was to locate Wally's and physically return to me at the start of the term. Each Wally being worth a further 5 points. This way we could have fun and also clean up the environment.

COVID has interfered with this but one bright student came up with a solution of bagging them and writing their details on the bag and putting it in the school letterbox. 

Raffaela in FL -- your 315 house points will be added to IBBOTT. Well done!

Thank you for all the terrific feedback regarding our Wally initiative and how great it was to see so many families out and about on their bikes, scooters, skateboards or just walking around our neighbourhood looking for Wally's!
