Year 6 Farewell What a fabulous night Year 6, their teachers and the staff had at the Year 6 Farewell. This year the farewell was at Strathfield Golf Club due to our school out growing the hall.

Thank you to Mrs Morrison and the Year 6 teachers for organising a very special occasion for our Year 6 students.

How to create a volcanic erup on in a bo le

Today 21R conducted an experiment to create a volcanic erup on in a bo le. We determined that the best erup on happens when 3 teaspoons of bi‐carb soda is mixed with 200mls of vinegar. The erup on happened because vinegar is an acid and it reacted with the bi card soda which is a base. Maybe you would like to give it a try in the holidays? Follow the instruc ons below.

Materials

· Plas c Bo le

· Vinegar

· Food colouring

· Teaspoon

· Bi‐carb soda

· Funnel

· Measuring jug

Steps

1. Put 3 teaspoons of bi‐carb soda into the bo le.

2. Put 3 drops of food colouring of your choice into the bo le.

3. Take the bo le to a place that can get messy.

4. Pour 200mls of vinegar into the bo le.

5. Watch the erup on.

By 21R.

Symphonia Jubilate Orchestras 2016

Symphonia Jubilate is a collection of ensembles made up of students predominantly from primary and

orchestra aims to provide students with an opportunity to rehearse, learn and perform quality orchestral music

from a diverse range of musical styles, as well as to foster a new level of music appreciation and skill in a

friendly environment.

The three Symphonia Jubilate Orchestras, Pizzicato, Secondo and Primo enable students of all abilities to

have a place in an Orchestra.

The newest group to join the Symphonia Orchestra is the Symphonia Jubilate Pizzicato Orchestra which is

making its debut in 2016. This orchestra is the perfect place for beginner string students to test out their new

skills, learn how to make music with others and most importantly have as much fun as possible in the process.

The Pizzicato Orchestra will be conducted by the experienced teacher and conductor Mrs Jemma Losada.

Rehearsals and Concerts held at Marie Bashir Public School in Strathfield and are on a Saturday afternoon.

Below are the dates of Rehearsals and Concerts for 2016.
