Maths this morning
We have been stretching our COMPASSION muscle in Maths this morning as we worked in groups with people we don't normally work with. We were busy trying to rank the possibility of events and assigning them a numerical value.

Stage 3 Robotics Club
Our Stage 3 (Year 5 &6) Sphero Robotics club has been meeting each Thursday for most of the term.
Today, some of our Year 6's had a chariot race (a design and make challenge using a Sphero robot as both the motor and wheel for a chariot), while the Year 5's worked through the robot track - needing to carefully control their Sphero so that it does not touch the red lines - no easy feat!
We finished with a game of 'King of the Hill' - a survival of the fittest Sphero operator.

Inspirational Visitors
We have been lucky enough to have two very inspirational visits this week. The first was Angela Michael, a Pakistani woman who co-founded the Miracle School to educate the children of families working in the Brick Kilns of Pakistan. This inspirational woman talked to the Year 5 and 6 students about poverty, education and how Christians in Pakistan are helping to break the poverty cycle.
Our second visit this week was from author, Kate Forsyth and illustrator, Lorena Carrington. These amazing women talked to Year 5 and 6 students about fairytales, depictions of girls in stories and all about the writing and illustrating process.

Year 6 Car Wash Success!
An enormous thank you for the incredible hard work washing cars by everyone involved in last Saturday's Year 6 Car Wash at Flower Power Warriewood. The generosity of time, effort and energy was unbelievable. Not only that, but many students and their parents contributed delicious baked creations for our cake stall, which was a great success!
The total made on the day was $1,770. A special mention must be made of the efforts of Cameron Johnston, Nick Kelly, Hugh Coates, Simeon Haddad - these Dad’s went solidly from 10am-2pm! They were the engine of the car wash.
Year 6 are fundraising to provide a gift to the school, and also very importantly to contribute to the work of the incredibly important charity Bear Cottage.
Thank you to all students and families who contributed to the day. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

Author Visit tomorrow
On Wednesday, 14th of March, Kate Forsyth and Lorena Carrington will be visiting St Luke's Grammar School for a special workshop with Years 5 and 6 Bayview students.
Kate Forsyth wrote her first novel at the age of seven, and is now the internationally bestselling, award-winning author of 30 books for both adults & children. She was recently voted one of Australia's Favourite 25 Novelists, has completed a doctorate in fairy tales, and is an accredited master storyteller.
Retold by Kate Forsyth and illustrated by photographic artist Lorena Carrington, Vasilisa the Wise & Other Tales of Brave Young Women is a welcome antidote to the widespread perception that classic fairy-tales feature passive princesses waiting patiently for their prince. Drawing from both the oral and literary traditions, the book retells tales from Russia, Scotland, Norway, France, Germany and Great Britain. The stories were all chosen for the strength and courage of their female protagonists, and the beauty of their original lyrical style.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact LearningHub staff.

Helping out with the Christian Discovery talks
This morning some Bayview kids helped out with the Christian Discovery talk.
Big Night of Fun
We played a few special games last night as part of the Big Night of Fun.
We had to knock the other players mat from their hand.
We played a game where we made scenes from a farm. This one is the farmer feeding the animals.
We had to hit the bottle with the cone.
