Make My Day
During our Teddy Bear’s Picnic our new students were invited to have their photo taken as a momentum for the day. Mrs Chensee organised a green screen and back drop photo. Tamsyn, Georgie, Grace and Ocea from 5/6P took and edited the photos and recorded names and email addresses for distribution. Thank you girls, you were amazing ambassadors for our school demonstrating to our new parents what wonderful students we have at Caves Beach PS
Bailey Seamer
Tomorrow Tuesday 6th September, we have invited an ex-student and local girl Bailey Seamer back to Caves Beach PS. to speak to our students. Bailey is currently in Caves Beach on her way through on her 5000km walk from Wilson's Promontory to Cape York Peninsula. Her walk is to raise awareness for Mental Health and raise money for the Black Dog Institute.
We will be holding a fundraiser in support of Bailey called “Fill Your Brain with Gold! “, We will have a Grow Your Mind brain drawn on the playground and the kids can fill it with their gold coin donations.
Students are asked to come in a colour that makes them happy.
This term in Digital Technology, Stage 1 students have been exploring coding and creating using Lego. The ‘Lego We-Do’ kits encourage students to use their computational thinking skills to create various Lego objects that are used and designed for a specific purpose.
Stage 1 students are currently creating a Science Rover that detects movement with a motion sensor and are learning to code simple sequences to make the Science Rover move. In this topic, students are encouraged to question, explore, and create and use their ICT skills to explore the process of testing and debugging programs and coding sequences.
Another strength you can grow is CREATIVITY.
Being creative means to think of new ways to do things in the classroom, on the playground or at home.
When we show CREATIVITY we use our ELEPHANT and WISE OWL. This strength is important for our mental health because it helps us find our state of ‘flow’.
You can display CREATIVITY by:
"Creativity doesn't wait for that perfect moment. It creates its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones."

The environmental group is continuing on their initiative to encourage people to be more sustainable in their day-to-day life. Each week a teacher will pledge to make a small change that will make their lives more sustainable.
Mrs Nebauer is doing the pledge this week. She is going to recycle her bread tags, cans and bottles.
We’re excited to be able to host family portrait shoots in November. More information to come: SAVE THE DATE!
