Young Scientist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Young Scientist participants have been working behind the scenes to further develop their projects for the Young Scientist Competition. This term our fortnightly early morning drop-in sessions have allowed students to work closer with their mentor Ms Cara Brigham. Joanna Wong (2 Paterson) has been analysing chocolate types to determine which to include in her investigation. She determined that the Crunchie chocolate composition was too low (below 40%) and so she will not be using that sample in her investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writers’ Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our DM Writers’ Club has been learning how to use brainstorming and mind-mapping techniques to generate great story ideas. We learned that the first ideas are usually the worst ideas because those are the ones everyone else thinks of too, so we must come up with TEN ideas to find just ONE great idea. The students then chose one competition to work towards entering. The\u00a0competitions we are focusing on are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Write On Competition <\/a>The new stimulus for WriteOn 2025 is the quote: ‘Could they be changing?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The News in My Neighborhood Competition<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prompt is: Tell us about someone who is important in your life. You can create an artwork or submit a maximum of a 100-word writing piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maths Quest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Maths Quest team from Years 1 and 2 have been investigating all the possible solutions for given questions. We are learning to create an organised list to systematically work through the questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Australian Problem Solving Mathematical Olympiad organisation regularly updates the Problem of the Week<\/a> website with problems across all levels of skill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
