Student Attendance

Being at school every day counts. To enable your child the bestopportunity to engage with their learning it is important that theyattend school every day.

Currently our school attendance rate for 2016 is 95.2%. Thisfigure is marginally up when compared to the attendance rate atthe same time last year, which was up again on the 2014 figure.

The average Queensland state school student attendance for2015 was 92.7%.

For me, this accurately reflects the high value Jindalee parentsplace on education.

Remember, that if you have to take your child out of schoolfor a period of ten consecutive days or longer for extenuatingcircumstances, you can apply to me for an exemption fromcompulsory schooling.

Hands on Science

Science Incursion Year 6

On the 26 May, the students of Year 6 experienced a greatHands On Science incursion. The hall was filled to the brimwith amazing science equipment that included electric circuits,robots and magnetic mazes. Everyone had a sensational timetrying out, testing and discovering the wonderful science thatbuilt our world. The seniors of our school learned so muchabout the exquisite world of magnets and electrical sensations.They played with robots that responded to your commands andwheeled themselves around the many pairs of legs. Barbara,the lady who hosted the incursion, taught the year 6 pupilsmany tricks that the students will never forget.

As part of our unit on energy, 6S was involved in an incursionwith the rest of year 6 playing with and exploring electriccircuits, robotics and balance.

It was a very informative session which everyone enjoyed. Ofspecial interest were the remote control robot spider, mouseand R2D2 along with watching complete circuits light the bulbor create noise.

We all enjoyed learning through play and were excited to makeconnections with our understanding of insulators andconductors!

Pyramid Contest

Inquiry Question: What is the biggest pyramid you can make byan A3 piece of paper?

Year 6H students spent most of two days working out how theycould build the biggest pyramid.

They faced many challenges, but in the end they pulledthrough. Even though there were many pyramids consideredas the biggest, the 6H students made a final decision thata group with a triangular-based tetrahedron, had the largestpyramid in the class. The measurements of each edge of thetriangular faces were 25.5cm exactly. Though the tetrahedronwas recognised as the biggest, the whole class agreed thatthere was more than one winner as everyone had a differentinterpretation of the ambiguous word 'biggest'. Some pyramidswere the biggest because they were the tallest (45cm), theheaviest (4kg), the widest (25.5cm) or had the most volume(1216cm3) and capacity (181 blocks). As you can all believe, itwas a very hard decision to choose which pyramid would bethe biggest. What does biggest mean to you?

ANIMAL FREE DRESS DAY

Recently we had another free dress day to help raise money forour fete. Both students and staff again got involved.
