Science Week 2024
to continue the fun at home…
A very special thank you to Mrs Spackman who spent many hours deciding on experiments and putting them altogether, the teachers who assisted on the day, the Yr 6 leaders and the SRC for all your preparations. Congratulations on a fantastic day.A special mention and thank you to The Australian Science Teachers Association for awarding SJV with a National Science Week School Grant of $500 that supported our National Science Week activities and enabled the showbags to be sent home for all children to keep experimenting.
Participating in National Science Week gives children an appreciation and understanding of science! Science can help to shape the thoughts and opinions of children! Science encourages children to problem solve and take risks! Science experiences promote curiosity and an eagerness to learn! Science promotes creativity, cooperation and turn-taking skills ..... photos to follow .....
Eight chick eggs and 4 duck eggs arrived in kinder Monday week ago. Our Science unit this term is living and non living things and this week we have been talking about external features. We know that some of the external features are called combs, wattles, wings, webbed feet, claws, down, feathers and beaks.
Many staff and children of staff have been making the journey to the kinder room for cuddles and to chat about the antics of these cute little additions to our SJV family. (only temporarily) !!
The names of the chickens are Zorro, Brownie, Inky, Cookies and Cream and two unnamed (two are also still in the incubator). The ducks are called Huey, Duey, Louie and Donald.
The kinders have truly enjoyed the time they have spent with the cuties.
Happy Birthday Everly H, Finn N
A huge thank you to St John Vianney’s for hosting our Stingray class for Science week. The children had a great day playing with buddies and engaging in science experiments and activities. SJV also provided science showbags so the children can continue to explore various science activities at home.

..The theme for Book Week 2024 is "Reading is Magic"..
Throughout the month of August, community organisations, schools and libraries around the country will take part in Children’s Book Week, celebrating the joys of reading for pleasure with classroom activities, competitions, storytelling sessions and, of course, the popular school book parade.
Reading for pleasure has a range of benefits for children and young people. Reading can enhance literacy skills, and has a positive direct effect on academic reading motivation and achievement in later childhood and adolescence. 74% of children agree that reading helps them understand the world better, and 86% of children (age 6-17) said they loved being read books aloud at home or liked it a lot – the main reason being because it is a special time with parents.
At SJV, we will celebrate our book week Monday 26th - Friday 30th August and our Book Week parade is Thursday 29th August before we go into school.
Book Week Costume ideas to make
Some students who attend SJV also play basketball for the Tuggeranong Vikings Basketball Club. We extend an invitation to any students from SJV, who may be interested in playing basketball, to join them for the upcoming summer basketball season.
