National Science Week
This week was National Science Week and students K-6 participated in fun science experiments learning about the magic of science! Students learned about forces, energy, solids, liquids, gases, plants absorbing water through roots by using everyday items to conduct their experiments. Enjoy the photos below.
The Imagineer Performance
Thanks to Ms Roth for organising this wonderful incursion for students K-6. It was the perfect way to start National Science Week and lead into Book Week next week as the book is about imagination, curiosity and being inquisitive. Both students and teachers enjoyed this special performance.
Zone Athletics Carnival
Congratulations to all students who participated in events at the Zone Athletics Carnival at Hensley Field this Wednesday. A special congratulations to Monon in 6-5S who was outstanding on the day making the school and his parents proud of such excellent results. Thank you to Mr Spencer, Miss Daisley and Miss Maher for the organisation and support to ensure that Eastlakes PS is represented at zone events.
Police Playground Visit
We had a special visit from the local police to our playground this Thursday. The police constables talked with students and answered all their questions during recess time. Last week the police did a talk about cyber safety with Stage 2 and Stage 3. They will be visiting us again in the near future.
COVID-19 Update
The wellbeing of our staff and students, and our students’ education remains paramount. We will continue to implement our layered COVID-smart measures this term, which are aligned to the NSW Government’s general community settings, including:
staying home and getting tested if unwell, and only attending school when symptom free
encouraging mask-wearing for all staff and students
rapid antigen testing for symptomatic students and staff, and household contacts attending school to learn and work
encouraging COVID-19 vaccinations for students, staff and their families, including a booster shot (when eligible)
encouraging students, staff and their families to get a flu vaccination
good hygiene practices
maximising natural ventilation
boosted cleaning during the day, with particular attention given to high touch surface areas
responding to local COVID-19 conditions when necessary, by working with the department’s Health, Safety and Staff Wellbeing team.
