Chantelle, Tessa and Indi Reports Reports are being finalised and they will be distributed next Wednesday, 28th June. All teachers in 2017 are required to implement the Victorian Curriculum, which has therefore forced some changes to our reporting documents, as well as allowing some flexibility to report. In consultation with our School Council Parent Representatives and 2017 Staff Members, we have decided to make the following changes: *Students will not be marked A-E for progression, instead they will be rated using the terminology well below standard, below standard, at standard, above standard or well above standard. *Due to changes set by the Department and its Curriculum team, only students achieving 18 months ahead will now be rated as well above standard. Previously, students who were marked as 12 months ahead were rated as an A (well above standard). Students who are 6-12 months ahead, will now be marked as above standard.

This will be blended into our end of year report to show progression. Learning Conferences In week 3 next term we will be holding Learning Conferences (Monday 31st July, Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd August).

4 Our water is precious! In 3T we have been investigating water pollution and the impact it has on our environment. Over the past three weeks we have been observing six different science experiments and discussing the changes that occur over time. The types of pollutants we have investigated are; SOFT PLASTIC, STYROFOAM, FERTILISER, OIL, FOOD SCRAPS, CARDBOARD AND PAPER. We made these conclusion from our experiments; Oil rose to the top of the jar and floated. Oil needs to removed from water to get rid of it. Cardboard broke down into smaller pieces. Styrofoam did not change at all and floated to the top. Fertilizer dissolved into the water and made it very murky and it turned the water to a brown colour. Food scraps broke down and made the water cloudy. Plastic did not change at all. It looked like it was ice in the water and was hard to see. Facts... Cardboard and paper = 2 weeks to break down Plastic = 450 years to break down Plastic bags = 20 years to break down Styrofoam = 80 years to break down Aluminium = years to break down Cigarette butt = 1-5 years to break down Tin can = 80 years to break down Irymple South Primary School Newsletter - Issue 19, Week 10, Term 2,

7 ART with Mrs Lord The Art Room has been very busy this term. We have created some awesome art work. Students have been involved in the planning and presentation of their art. During the first three weeks of Term 3, there will be an exhibition of work created during this term. Preps & Grade 1s The students created a woven fish. They then used their creative thinking skills and knowledge of art techniques and materials to display their fish. Grades 2-4 We looked at the work of Vincent Van Gogh. There is currently an exhibition of his work at the National Gallery of Victoria. His work has been displayed in the four seasons. The students created their own artworks in the style of Van Gogh. They selected a season that they wished to represent and made their work reflect this season. Grades 5 & 6 The students used a variety of materials to create an Apple Collage. The students reflected on their Artistic Ability and how this helped them with their collage. Irymple South Primary School Newsletter - Issue 19, Week 10, Term 2,
