Children were able to conduct their own experiment to explore how the size of an impact crater is influenced by the size and speed of falling objects.
The learning objective was to understand how craters are formed.

Cell phones in Upper Primary.
Our policy toward cell phones will change when we start school again in January. Smart phones will no longer be allowed to be brought in by Upper Primary students. This means any phone able to access the internet.
The only phones allowed in school will be the most basic handsets, available from all network providers, that can only be used by children to text and call parents after 1:30pm.
These phones will still need to be handed in at the UP office each day and collected at the end of each day. Any smart phones bought in by students will be kept in the UP Office and only released to parents.
This change in policy reflects our concerns, that we have already shared on our blogs and in a recent School for Parents, about the unfiltered content available to children on these devices. We appreciate your support in keeping your children safe and with this important change in policy. It should also be noted that no other electronic items should be brought into school by children, for example, Ipads and Ipods.

If you love me keep me safe
We still have a number of children who do not yet use a seatbelt in their cars while travelling to school.
We are insisting on developing
the habit to use it at all times whilst being transported in a vehicle.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US WITH THIS SEATBELT CAMPAIGN!

Curiosity is one of the Values and Traits that helps us to become Responsible Outstanding Citizens- ROC's. As Albert Einstein said:
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
We recognise these students for their exceptional curiosity. Well done.

Responsible children in 4th grade
Congratulations to:
Oscar Santamaria, Jose Miguel Jiménez, Gabriela López, Juan Diego Tona
Children who are responsible are independent and confident and are able to use their own
initiative to control and manage their lives. Teaching children to take responsibility is an
important life skill. For the past few weeks in Upper Primary we have been working with
the Value: Responsible. On Friday the 20th of September, we recognised the students
who have excelled in demonstrating this value at school.
Well done to all of them!!
