Ben Venue Public School…
where great things are always happening!
Welcome to Week 6 Term 4 November 9, 2015
From the Deputy’s desk
Week 6 already - more than half way through the term!
Our Kindergarten 2016 students were treated to a taste of our K-2 assemblies last week when they joined us for the second of
three orientation days last Wednesday. Our current Kindergarten students put on a fabulous performance, Year 1/2S and the
Marimba group performed as well as the Year 2 dance group. We had to activate plan B due to wet weather and move lunch
inside but it didn’t stop everyone from enjoying themselves. Our next Kindergarten orientation day will be held on Thursday
December 3. Places are still available; please see the office for enrolment forms. Thanks to Kellie Divall for organising this.
Last Friday I had the pleasure of taking 20 Year 5 students to UNE for a spectacular science day. The students were treated to
an amazing display of science in the chemistry lab; learnt about the importance of keeping our hands clean and washing them
well in the hospital simulation ward; determined substances and took fingerprints in the forensic department; as well as
learning about the science behind choosing your “perfect match” in the psychology department. It was a great day out and I
thank our students for representing Ben Venue well. Lots of people commented on our students’ behaviour and enthusiasm
for the activities.
“Never Grow Up”
This year’s performance is on this Wednesday and Thursday evenings in the school hall, beginning at 7pm. It will be a
wonderful performance and I look forward to seeing many people there. Tickets are available from the office - $3 per ticket or
$10 per family.
Fundraising meeting
The P&C will be holding a fundraising meeting tonight in the staff room beginning at 7pm.

In Chemistry we did cool experiments like explosions and there was fire everywhere and lots of big bangs. A rose was put in liquid nitrogen and when it was dropped it shattered. Oscar Pocock 5B and Chloe Brazel 5P
In the nursing department they put this funny cream on our hands to represent the germs that we have on us every day. We went into a dark room to see how many germs were on our hands using ultraviolet light. Then we had to go and clean our hands to see how much we got off. We saw the germs on our faces where we have rubbed our hands on our faces. Toby Nelson 5B
In the Forensic de
partment we put o
ur
fingerprints on glas
s slides, then we p
ut
them into a jar wit
h glue and put it o
n this
steamer for 15 min
utes. In the meant
ime
we got black powd
er and revealed ou
r
fingerprints on glas
s cups. After the 1
5
minutes was up we
got the jars and too
k out
the glass slides and
it revealed white
fingerprints everyw
here that were sm
udged
together. Brielle B
all and Lydia Byerle

In Forensics there were powders that were supposed to be drugs. We used liquids called Indicators and we had to write down the results. If it came up with colours or fizzed up or nothing happened, we recorded this. There was an unknown substance and we needed to put the indicator on to find out what drug it was. Finley Pullan 5P
3T This has been a busy term so far and 3T have been learning about National Parks. The students have researched
local National Parks in preparation for the excursion in Week
8. They are very much looking forward to visiting New
England National Park and exploring some of the walking
trails. The students are hoping for a clear day so that they
can see all the way to the ocean. They are also talking about
the visit to Dutton Trout Hatchery with much anticipation
and are hoping to be able to feed the fish. Miss Trott is also
looking forward to the excursion very much and has told the
children all about the adventures she had last year. 3T have
also been researching the Great Barrier Reef with Mrs
Wilson and have decided it is another place they would like
to visit. Miss Trott says she would love to take them on an
excursion to visit the reef, but thinks it might be a bit of a
long drive!

1D Half way through the term already! The students are busy growing beans as part of our Science unit ‘Up, down
and all around’ and looking at toys and other artefacts
during our History unit. They have measured their heights
and recorded how much they have grown in Year 1! Lots of
birthdays have been celebrated, teeth fallen out and
replaced, and our class has also farewelled Ayana as her
family move back to East Timor. The students are exhausted
by the assessments but have all tried their best.

EAL/D This term during English as an Additional
Language/Dialect (EAL/D) classes the students have been
looking at examples of procedures and how to follow
instructions. Kindergarten students have enjoyed following
a recipe on how to make Fairy Bread, while students in Years
1 and 3 made a No Cook Play Dough. Students in Years 5
and 6 followed a more complicated recipe to make
Firecracker Sandwiches. All students were successfully able
to follow a recipe and create something yummy to eat or
play with. Students were then asked to write a procedure
on what they made including ingredients and the steps
taken to complete the recipe.
