A reminder for all our Children’s University students that passport hours need to be finalised by the end of Week 9 (Friday 21/9/18).

Why not get a head start on the yummy September Challenge (below) or have a go at the Book Week activity.

September Challenge

Everyone loves to eat, and everyone has a meal that they love more than any other. How many of us know how to cook, though? Your challenge for this month is to prepare your favourite recipe and share it with us. When you share, make sure you tell us why you love this meal so much and include a photo of the finished product, or even some video footage! Remember to get help from an adult if you’re using dangerous utensils or equipment in the kitchen. Be sure to take evidence to your in school CUA Coordinator for a stamp in your passport. Time allocated is at the discretion of the in school CUA Coordinator. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Thank you and well done to all of our Children’s University students who attended our after school learning session this afternoon. A huge thank you to our amazing parent volunteers; Elena, Sarah, Bec and Brooke! We are so lucky to have incredibly talented and generous parents to give their time and share their expertise. The kids had a ball!

Have a go at the August Challenge and earn yourself some extra learning hours. Just a reminder that you have until the end of Week 9 this term to get your passports up to date and stamped. If you haven’t had your passport checked recently, please bring it in to school ASAP and see Ms Armstrong.

Well done to all of our Children’s University students who attended the Campus Open Day on Tuesday. We had a great time exploring the uni and taking part in lots of great activities including sport, architecture, psychology and environmental science. A huge thank you to all the wonderful parents who came along and got involved.

Below is the May Challenge for our Children’s University students. We will also be having a check-in session this Tuesday at 11am for all CU students to record their progress, stamp passports and provide information about upcoming opportunities. 

April Online Challenge – Camouflage occurs when objects are disguised so they cannot be seen easily. In their natural environment, animals have developed colours that enable them to blend into their environment, for example, a tiger’s stripes. This is mostly so they cannot be seen by other animals that might prey on and eat them. Humans also utilise camouflage to their advantage. For example, our ANZACs wear uniforms designed to help them blend in to their surroundings so that they cannot be spotted by the enemy. 

Your challenge for this month is to choose an environment from around the world (it could be snow, a desert, the rainforest or your school) and then design an outfit which you could wear to camouflage yourself. You can choose to draw, cut and paste pictures or even create and wear the outfit yourself! Be sure to share the outfit and the environment on the CUA Facebook page! Take evidence such as photos or drawings to Ms Armstrong & Mrs Schonberger – time allocated for the challenge will be at our discretion.
