❤️ 𝗔 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗢𝗢𝗡 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦!

What a great afternoon celebrating Grandparents Day at E A Southee!

We had a fantastic turnout of grandparents and special grandparent figures joining our students for an afternoon of craft, kite making and some quality time together. 🪁🎨

We finished the afternoon enjoying some afternoon tea and plenty of good conversation.

I didn't take many photos — I was too busy enjoying the conversations! Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy the moment. ❤️

A big thank you to everyone who came along. Days like today are a reminder that a school is so much more than classrooms and lessons. It's the people, the relationships and the connections between generations that make our school community what it is.

Seeing our students sharing their school with the people who mean so much to them, and having the opportunity to sit and connect with our families, is what makes E A Southee such a special place to be.

🚌🔬 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗔 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 — 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟮!

Our second day in Canberra was packed with science, discovery and a little bit of bravery!

🔬 First stop was 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗻, where students explored the different science galleries through hands-on activities. There was plenty of thinking, problem-solving and experimenting as students tackled puzzles and explored scientific concepts.

Some brave students took on the famous 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲, while others tested their nerves in the 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲! 😬

🚀 Next, we headed into the mountains to visit the 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅, part of NASA's Deep Space Network.

Students discovered how the enormous, movable antennas communicate with spacecraft millions of kilometers away, including the Mars rovers, and learnt about their role in missions such as Apollo and Artemis. 🌌

After two big days of exploring, learning and plenty of walking, it was time to head home with some very tired students!

What a fantastic couple of days! So many new experiences, great memories and opportunities to see learning beyond the classroom.

We suspect there were a few early bedtimes last night! 😂

What a fantastic first day in Canberra for our Primary students!

🏛️ Our final stop for the day was the 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮, with plenty more to discover!

🍽️ After a very full day, it was off to our accommodation for dinner, a movie and a well-earned rest.
