Working Bee - A reminder that this Saturday is our next Working Bee from 9am to 12 noon. There are more details in this newsletter. Our school always looks better after our Working Bee. Hope to see you there!
Japanese Day - Last Friday was Japanese Day. It was fantastic to see our students participating in the fun learning activities and enjoying the sushi lunch. Thank you Mr Nickeas for organising the day.
Instrumental Music Concerts - The students’ performances at assemblies certainly show we have some very talented musical performers at Mount Martha Primary School! Next week we start our instrumental music concerts with our piano students next Wednesday 29th November and the other concerts on the 6th and 7th December. These performances give our students the opportunity to showcase their progress and talent with their instruments in front of an audience. Thank you parents for your assistance and support of our music program.

Year 5 and 6 Film Festival - “The Nine Realms” – Next Tuesday and Wednesday is the showing of “The Nine Realms” made by our Year 5 and 6 students, their teachers and producer/videographer, Bruce Grantford. The film will be shown at Rosebud Cinema. The students worked over last term and into this one with their teacher and on the many elements required to produce their films. The unit provided many learning opportunities from developing and memorising scripts, making props and costumes, acting, filming as well as developing skills to work in teams. Congratulations to our very talented Year 5 and 6 students!
Late to School - A reminder that if your child is late to school they need to be accompanied to the Office first where they will be recorded as “late”. They may then be taken to class. Thank you for your assistance.
