Executive Notes
Newsletter Term 4 Week 8 It has been an exciting week with the Talent Show, K-‐2 Athletics Carnival and Milo Cricket Gala Day. More proof that Ingleburn has talent and is a fun place to learn. Thank you to the students and staff who have been involved in these events. Christmas Concert We hope to see everyone at our Christmas Concert next Wednesday evening.

Teacher’s Tech Play Date Yesterday afternoon, students who regularly attend Maker Club had the opportunity to learn about, and experiment with, some of the new technology our school will be investing in in 2017. Eric from Datacom brought along Spheros, Makey Makey kits, Osmo sets, Little Bits sets and Bee-‐Bots for the students to code and create the afternoon away. Our students were the “techsperts” who then taught the teachers after school at a teacher’s tech play date. They did a fantastic job and there was lots of fun to be had. Thank you to the students and their parents for supporting the Maker Club program throughout the year and also to Datacom. 2017 Planning Planning for 2017 is now well underway.

App Review Best Fiends Forever is the sequel to the original Best Fiends but it's back as an
addicting clicker game! This game is impossible to put down and so fun as you never die, eliminating the rage of losing. You have a certain time for boss battles but if you use 8 fingers you should be fine. The main addicting part is you can beat your friend's score and your own by redoing each island. Collect all the friends and get them out of the world of clicking! This is a fun time waster and consumer. If you are bored you may as well play this! It’s suitable for all ages above 5. I would rate this game a massive 5/5.
By Harry
Kahoot is a great way to teach or learn. If you have a smart TV or a gaming console open Kahoot on the Internet browser and open the app on your device connect them and you're ready. You can play quizzes already made by other creators or go wild and create your own! This game can be a great Friday night family game or a great way to teach the kids a boring subject. There are some flaws like if you have bad internet it’s gonna lag a lot or it takes a few minutes to load your answer on the big screen but like any other games there are some flaws but you can get around it and still make it a good game. I would rate this innovative 4/5.

YR 6 POETRY
Its nearly here, so lets make the last, The time of year, three weeks here, That we say bye, the best three to end of With a tear. Our one final year We are year six, And we will confess , That we will miss The fun we had, At I.P.S We loved the learning, And fun teachers we had, The thought of leaving, Makes us very sad. We’ll miss the laughter, And our peers to, The changes that we’ve witnessed, Our school go through As we say, Goodbye at last, We will remember, And look back at our past. Ingleburn P.S was fun, But it’s time to say bye , We thank you all, Many of us will cry.
