Social Media Use
It has come to our attention that most of our middle and upper primary age students
have access to the majority of social media platforms. Due to their age some children
have difficulty with navigating appropriate use. Our staff have a duty of care to
report students who are using these platforms. Please support your children by
removing their social media accounts if they are under the age of 13 from any school
devices. I have included and article from the Children’s eSafety Commissioner for
your
From the Office of the Children’s eSafety Commissioner (esafety.gov.au/iparent)
Is there an age limit for kids on social media?
Most social media services and apps require users to be 13 years old to join.
Why 13? This is usually to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 (COPPA)—a US law preventing the collection and storage of personal
information from a child under 13.

Happy Easter!
Our term is fast coming to an end; however, we are fortunate to be presented with a 4 day long weekend to
celebrate Easter. This is a time to re-charge our batteries and spend valuable time with your family. I wish all
families an enjoyable break; all be it short!
Kind Regards,

Room 11 Biological Sciences
This term in Room 11 as part of our Year 5/6 Science learning we have been learning about
Animal Adaptations.
Our class has been researching the Red Tailed Black Cockatoo. This is an endangered bird
that lives in the South East. It has many adaptations that helps it survive in its environment, but
also make it vulnerable.
We were lucky enough to go on an excursion in week 6 to Wandillo and Hacket Hill Native
Forest reserves with Mr Elkins and Ange, to learn more about the Red Tailed Black Cockatoo
and hopefully see one in the wild.
We learnt about the habitat the Red Tailed Black Cockatoo needs to survive. In order to nest
and lay an egg it needs a hollowed out tree. We also learnt about the types of food the Red
Tailed Black Cockatoo needs to survive. They only eat the seeds of the brown and desert
stringy bark tree. We found some and were able to look at its seeds and leaves.
In Week 7 Bronwyn Perryman from the Red Tailed Black Cockatoo Recovery Project came out
to our class. Bronwyn spoke the adaptations these birds have. She even brought along a
taxidermied specimen

FUN IN THE GARDEN
Over the past few weeks, various
students have helped harvest the
crops from the garden.
Students have been able to eat fresh
corn from cob, devour eggy bread
from the schools chook eggs, and also
peel the delicious apples to create a
fabulous apple crumble which was
enjoyed by all.

WE’RE TAKING IT IN OUR STRIDE ON FRIDAY 18TH MAY 2018
Well it’s that time of year again when our school seriously starts talking about walking!
Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our transport habits and try to incorporate more walking
as part of a healthy, active way to get around. And although walking all the way to school isn’t realistic for
many of us, it’s quite easy to figure out how you can build a walk into your family’s daily routine.
You can teach your child the healthy habit of walking more by:
- Walking with them the whole way to school
- If they get the bus or train, walk past your usual stop and get on at the next stop
- If you have to drive, park the car a few blocks away from the school and walk the rest of the way.
Regular exercise like walking with your child not only helps them (and you!) beat chronic problems like
obesity, heart disease, behavioural and mental health issues and diabetes. It also gives you a great
opportunity to teach your child safe ways to behave around roads and traffic.
Remember, Active Kids are Healthy kids so get planning your own Walk Safely to School Day journey for Friday
18th May 2018!
