BIRTHDAY CAKES

As a school community we are unable to monitor the handing out of cake

within individual classrooms. It is a very special day for your

child and often parents like to bring in cakes to share with

classmates. However, we would ask that cakes were not

brought into the school and that an alternative like a fruit

platter to support healthy eating was chosen. We also have a

number of students with dietary needs and cakes and sugary foods don't sup-

port these requirements.

WISHING YOU ALL A SAFE

AND HAPPY EASTER BREAK

SEE YOU ALL IN TERM 2

ON TUESDAY 30TH APRIL

EASTER HAT PARADE

Our annual Easter Hat Parade will be taking place this Friday at 10.15am at

the front concreted area of the school. Our Easter Raffle will be drawn on this

day which will help support the School Representative Council (SRC) in rais-

ing funds for future school projects. Please return raffle money by Friday

morning and bring in EGG DONATIONS for the Easter Hampers to support our

SRC.

PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO ENTER THE EASTER HAT PARADE

THIS YEAR! Parent entries in the Easter Hat Parade will be something new

we are introducing this year. So, if you are a parent/carer and wish

to participate in the Easter Hat Parade, you can make your own hat creation

and come and parade with US! The best parent/carer entry will receive a prize

also!

The SRC thanks you in helping support this event and we look forward to your

attendance on the day. Classes will resume as normal after recess.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

We have had a busy term implementing PBL lessons into Circle Time and PDH lessons to develop understanding of the three core values we have at Kem-blawarra: Respect - Safe - Responsible.

We will continue to work on upholding these values when moving and using

different areas in our environment as we learn the expectations of other out-

side areas of our school which will be covered throughout the rest of the

year.

COMMUNITY NEWS

HB3 CLASSROOM NEWS

We studied the story ‘Mutt Dog’ by Stephen Mi-

chael King.

After 3 reads, we had a discussion about the

characters, the setting and the plot of the story.

We looked at the messages within the story like

belonging and discussed these too.

Before we write about a text we plan by compos-

ing a visual representation of our story.

This is part of the writing/composition process.

We plan using pictures and words that will help

us tell our stories better.

This are some of our plans for the text ‘Mutt Dog’.
