🚀 3/4B Blast Off! 🚀

3/Broomstick had a blast experimenting with Alka-Seltzer rockets! 🧪💥 Students investigated what happens when Alka-Seltzer reacts with water, creating a gas that builds up pressure and sends the rocket soaring into the air!

This hands-on experiment was a fantastic way to explore states of matter, particularly how a solid and liquid can interact to produce a gas. Students made predictions, observed the changes taking place and discussed how gases take up space and create pressure.

It was a lesson filled with science, curiosity and plenty of exciting launches! 🔬🚀✨

💛 Celebrating Our Wonderful SAS Staff 💛

This week, our students and staff have taken the opportunity to celebrate and show their appreciation for the incredible SAS staff who make such a difference at Milperra Public School every single day.

Throughout the week, students presented special gifts and acknowledgements to the SAS staff who support them, giving them the chance to say their own very special thank you. Seeing the smiles, hugs and beautiful moments shared between our students and staff was just lovely. 💕

Our teaching staff also put on a beautiful morning tea so we could come together as a staff and celebrate our wonderful team, and Mrs Hanney created a gorgeous thank you video filled with messages of appreciation from our students. 🎥💛

Our SLSOs and administration staff received a little hand cream gift to recognise “the hands that help” — the hands that comfort, care, guide and support our children in countless ways every day. And our wonderful General Assistant, Mr Cole, received something a little more suited to him — some Rabbitohs socks and a mug! ❤️💚🐰

We would also like to acknowledge Miss Angelia, Miss Poppy, Miss Jess and Miss Zeinab, our wonderful regular casual SLSOs, who are such valued members of our extended SAS team. Thank you for the care, flexibility and support you bring to our students and school whenever you are with us. 💛

To all of our SAS staff, thank you for everything you do. So much of your work happens quietly and without fuss, but its impact is enormous. You care for our children, support our teachers, help our families and keep our school running each and every day.

We hope this week has reminded you just how valued and appreciated you are.

Happy SAS Staff Recognition Week! 💛🌷

🎉📚🔢 Literacy and Numeracy Week – Celebration Day! 🔢📚🎉
“Every day counts; every word matters”

What a fantastic way to finish Literacy and Numeracy Week 2026!

Throughout the week, our students have explored the many ways literacy and numeracy are part of their learning and everyday lives. From Literacy Showdown and Literacy and Numeracy Hunts to Fermi Question Challenges, Spark Multiplicative Thinking and our Daily Selfie Challenges, students have been reading, thinking, estimating, reasoning, problem-solving and working together. 🌟

📸 Today’s Daily Selfie Challenge – The Ultimate Literacy and Numeracy Selfie!

For our final challenge, students had to capture all five elements in one selfie:

🔢 A number
🔤 A letter or word
🔷 A shape
📏 Something they could measure
📖 Their favourite book

Take a look at some of our fantastic Ultimate Literacy and Numeracy Selfies!

A huge thank you to our students and staff for embracing the activities throughout the week and making Literacy and Numeracy Week 2026 such an engaging celebration of learning.

Every day really does count, and every word matters! 💫

😂 THE MPS DAD JOKES ARE IN! 😂

Our dads and father figures certainly brought their best material to our Father’s Day Breakfast!

Throughout the morning, they were invited to leave us their best (or perhaps worst! 😜) dad joke. We collected them all and then handed the judging over to the toughest critics of all — our students!

Classes across MPS read through the entries and voted for their favourites, with Mr Elia Takkou ultimately taking out the title of 2026 MPS Dad Joke Champion! 🏆😂

We couldn’t keep all of these gems to ourselves, so here they are for everyone to enjoy.

➡️ Swipe through for some quality MPS dad humour… and be warned, there are some serious groaners in there! 🤦‍♀️😂

Which one gets your vote? 👇

🔢🧠 Literacy and Numeracy Week – Numeracy Game Day! 🧠🔢
“Every day counts; every word matters”

Today, our students celebrated Numeracy Game Day as part of Literacy and Numeracy Week!

Across the school, students participated in Fermi Question Challenges, putting their mathematical thinking to the test. These fun, real-world challenges encouraged students to estimate, reason, problem-solve, explain their thinking and work collaboratively to find possible solutions. ➕🧮💭

📸 Today’s Daily Selfie Challenge – Pattern and Shape Spotter!

Students were challenged to look closely at their surroundings and capture as many patterns and 2D and 3D shapes as possible in their selfies. From classroom objects to buildings and playground spaces, students discovered that mathematics really is everywhere! 🔺🟦🔵

Take a look at some of the fantastic Pattern and Shape Spotter selfies and numeracy learning from across our school today. 📸🌟

Another wonderful day of thinking, collaborating and problem-solving as we continue to celebrate the importance of literacy and numeracy in our everyday lives!

💙 Father’s Day Breakfast at MPS 💙

What a beautiful morning we shared at our P&C Father’s Day Breakfast!

It was wonderful to see so many dads, grandads and special father figures spending time together with our students, enjoying delicious bacon, egg and sausage rolls, catching up with one another and simply enjoying being part of our school community.

There was plenty of fun along the way too, with our Paper Aeroplane Competition and Dad Joke Competition adding a little extra excitement to the morning. ✈️😂

A huge congratulations to our competition winners:

🏆 Father Paper Plane Champion: Mr Mohamed Ali Hijazi, with children Angel and Gabriel
🏆 Kids Paper Plane Champions: Simeon & Eloise Lilley, with Dad Peter Lilley
😂 Dad Joke Champion: Mr Elia Takkou, father of Stevie and Lucie

For the Dad Joke Competition, our dads and father figures wrote down their best jokes at the breakfast, and later our students across the school had the very important job of voting for their favourite!

The winning joke was Elia’s:
“Why shouldn’t you give Elsa a balloon? She will let it go!” 😂

A very big thank you to our wonderful P&C for all of the organisation that went into making the morning such a success. Thank you also to the many volunteers who gave their time, and to our teachers and staff who helped on the BBQ and throughout the morning.

It was a lovely hour spent together — full of smiles, conversation, laughter and special memories for our students and their families.

We hope all of our MPS dads, grandads and father figures have a very happy Father’s Day! 💙

🎢🔬 Year 4 STEM Day at Picnic Point High School! 🔬🎢

On Tuesday, our Year 4 students had an amazing day at Picnic Point High School for an exciting STEM learning experience! 🌟

Students put their creativity, problem-solving and teamwork skills to the test as they designed and built their own roller-coasters using paper and masking tape. 🎢 They also tackled the challenge of creating a garbage collector using cardboard and split pins, learning how simple materials can be transformed into working designs. ♻️

It was a fantastic day filled with hands-on learning, collaboration, creativity and plenty of fun! Our students had a wonderful time and came back with lots of new skills and ideas. 👏💡

A huge thank you to Picnic Point High School - Official for hosting us and providing such a wonderful STEM experience! 💙💛

🔎📚🔢 Literacy and Numeracy Week – Literacy & Numeracy in Action! 🔢📚🔎
“Every day counts; every word matters”

Today, our students continued celebrating Literacy and Numeracy Week by discovering just how much literacy and numeracy surrounds us every day!

Classes participated in a Literacy and Numeracy Hunt, exploring their classrooms and the school environment to find examples of words, numbers, measurement, patterns, signs and symbols. Students were encouraged to look closely at their surroundings and make connections between their classroom learning and the world around them. 🔤🔢📏

📸 Today’s Daily Selfie Challenge – Word Collector!

The challenge was to capture as many words as possible in one selfie. Our students certainly discovered that words are everywhere! 👀📖

Classes also continued exploring Spark Multiplicative Thinking, using visual prompts to notice, wonder, estimate, count, compare and explain their mathematical thinking.

Take a look at some of today’s fantastic Word Collector selfies and literacy and numeracy learning from across our school! 🌟📸
