Week 9 Leader In Me Events:

As these events are part of the Leader In Me Symposium

they can only be attended by conference participants. We

will host a community Leadership Day later in the year.

7 HABITS AT HOME

Habit 2 provides a good base for activities around goal setting. As a family (or with an individual child), choose an area that needs improvement. The area of improvement, or the broad goal, becomes your end in mind. Then think of specific steps that will lead to achieving this goal. For example, if the goal is to improve as a reader, specific steps may include reading a certain amount of time every day or working sev-eral times a week to improve oral fluency.

Congratulations to our Stars of the Week!

1E — Eva

For the wonderful effort you’ve put into learning the new song for Leadership Day! Well Done!

1M — Tabby

For Thinking Win-Win with her peers and putting her friends needs before her own.

1C — Issy For finishing her writing within the set time and

keeping it neat too!

1S — Joel For always trying his very best on each task and

being a helpful and respectful classmate.

Science Fact from Ms Ziogos While most people know that water boils at 100 °C (212 °F), this is

at the normal conditions of sea level. The boiling point of water

actually changes relative to the barometric pressure. For example,

water boils at just 68 °C (154 °F) on the top of Mount Everest while

water deep in the ocean near geothermal vents can remain in liq-

uid form at temperatures much higher than 100 °C (212 °F).
