BOOK WEEK (Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds)

Book Week was recently celebrated at Lake Monger Primary School. Apart from the Book Character Dress Up Parade held on Wednesday 25 August for Kindergarten to Year 6, the children engaged in a range of other activities to cele-brate the week including: Pre Primary Red and Year 3 Teal children participated in buddy class reading that included asking questions about the book they read. Year 3 Teal also wrote a miniature book. The Year 4/5 class made ‘circularamas’ with each section representing a different world; an Old World, New World and Other World.

The Year 5 class wrote a review of the Ed Mail story ‘Wreckers Revenge.’ Also children who have borrowed the book from the library reported to the class how the full version differs from the condensed version that was read as a class.

SCHOOL GROUNDS Parents and other visitors coming to school during the course of the school day must enter the school grounds via the front office.

Playground Safety Play is important for your child’s physical, emotional, mental and social development. Playgrounds are fun and pro-vide children of all ages with excellent opportunities for physical activity. Here are some tips for keeping your child engaged and safe in playgrounds.

Encourage your child to have fun and try new things

Visit different playgrounds in the community to keep things new and interesting

Arrange to meet friends at playgrounds

Always supervise your child

Encourage your child to take turns, play safely and think about others

Help your child to develop a simple set of playground rules

Remember to protect you and your child from the sun

Check how your child is dressed—clothing or hats with cords could result in injury

If you notice any damage to the playground, report immediately.
