Principal's MessageHello Everyone It has been another huge week at Eureka Public School with manygreat activities and events. We started the week a little earlier thisweek, attending the Federal Pre School Fun Day, where EPS had astall set up making slime for the hundreds of kids at Federal. It wasan explosion of glue, sprinkles and food colouring and a great wayto connect with members of the community. A big thankyou to Lisaand Albert who helped set up, Megan, James and Chyioko whobecame expert slime makers by the end of the day, and to ourfantastic SRC representatives Millie, Haruki and Tom who did a greatjob helping the little children make sticky, oozy slime all day.Last Monday I was so impressed with the standard of speeches atthe Stage 2 public speaking competition. We had a range of differenttopics from 'Three Things That Scare Me' to 'What Animal I WouldLike To Be'. Well done to our eventual winners, Haruki and Millie whowill go on to represent the school at the �nal in Clunes next term.This Thursday we have our �rst Kindergarten Orientation visit forour new kindergarten students for 2020. Miss Lisa has an excitingactivity set up for them and the P&C have organised a nice morningtea for our new families. It is important that we all make everyonefeel welcome to our amazing school.Coming up this Friday is the Stage 3 Public Speaking �nal in theSenior classroom. This will take place at the normal assembly thisweek. After the high standard of the Stage 2 speeches we are reallylooking forward to seeing what the Year 5 and 6 students canproduce.Last but not least, if you haven’t heard already the school soccerteam have made it through to the state �nals! After an amazinggame against Eungai Public School our team were victorious. I wasreally impressed with the entire team who have played as a wholeteam working for each other.

JuniorsThe junior class has worked hard to complete their paintingsinspired by The Lawrence Tree. They have been learning to layercolours and consider the direction of the lines painted when showingtextures. Thank you to Michelle who has joined us each week andshared her expertise. During literacy rotations, students have worked together to createtreehouses from recycled and natural items. In Maths, Kinders have been performing addition and subtractiontasks, and comparing collections of items to state ‘How manymore?’ Year 1&2 are learning about the patterns that occur in odd and evennumbers.

SeniorsThis week the senior class have been presenting their If I was a martianprojects. Each student was tasked to calculate the weight of their schoolbag on different planets with different gravities. They were also asked tocompare facts about the various planets in a mathematical context. Ithas been great to see the senior class manage a big project on their own this term and being able towork with large numbers when discussing distances from the sun.

Indonesian Lessons with Ms AntheaTo learn about another culture and to understand it, as with most things in life, it is important to make

a personal connection to the topic. In Indonesian we are often looking at the similarities anddifferences between the cultures here in Australia as well as our own personal culture. As many of the

seniors were away this Thursday they will complete the following task next week.

This week in Indonesian the junior students learned about the symbolism of the Indonesian Coat ofArms. They then re�ected on their own values and created an individualized Coat of Arms. It wasbeautiful to see a running theme of love and respect for the natural world. These students are our

future and with the passion they show for the land I think it is good hands. (photo below)
