2019 Calendar Hi everyone!

Well done to our students for their creative art exhibition at the Walbundrie Show, and to those who received prizes— these will be presented at our next assembly.

David Dunn completed the mural near our Bush Tucker Garden during the holidays —it looks deadly! Mrs Miller and Mr Mott will work with the students to complete Stage 1 of our garden this term.

The Year 3/4 students enjoyed the Small Schools’ Melbourne Excursion last term. Thank you to Miss Merrilees for supervising the students and assisting them to present a very entertaining account of their experiences.

Thank you to the parents/carers who participated in the Student Led Interviews, your input is much appreciated. The student PLP’s and learning goals have been updated for them to strive for this term.

On the last day of Term 3 we held a ‘Health Forum’ run by the students. The students presented information about healthy and safe living. Thank you to our visitors who provided feedback about the student’s presentations. We had some special visitors from the Rural Fire Service and Mrs Jenny Brown, DoE Road Safety Officer. We discussed bush fire safety and road safety issues. It was also great to have the Pre-School students join us for a fun learning day. We completed the day with our Jump Rope for Heart JUMP OFF. It was a very energetic way to finish the term!

We will run Kinder Orientation every Wednesday from Week 2, Term 4. The sessions will be held from 9.30am to 11.30am. There will be a Parent Information Workshop on Wednesday 23rd October from 9.30am to 11.30am, followed by Morning Tea. Amanda Church and I will present information about our school, learning programs and tips to help support your children for their learning journey—all parents are welcome to attend. Details have been sent to perspective parents. Please let me know if there may be any families who I don’t know about so I can invite them to learn about our school.

Term 4 Week 1 2019

Banksia Room with Mrs Merrilees

“The least favourite part of my holidays

was cleaning my room”—Zac

“The best thing about my holidays was that I lost my

first tooth”— Kerrigan

“It was fun, I went horse riding”—

Charlotte


Skittle Holiday Questions:

Students closed their eyes and

picked a skittle, they answered a

question according to a certain

colour.

E.g.: Red—Tell me your favourite

thing you did during the holidays.

- Here are some of our

responses...

What was that?—Liam Williams

I went camping with my family, Taylors family, and

our friends. We had four caravans. We jumped in

the river and played with Oscar’s toy trucks.

A toy truck nipped me, I thought it was a crab! I

quickly jumped out of the river and onto the bank. I

screamed, Taylor said “It is just a toy truck” I got

scared and ran away screaming. I said “Mum,

there is a crab”! “There are no crabs in the river”

said mum.

Holiday Recounts:

After our discussion, we wrote about our

holidays. Our students were very focused,

with only 20 minutes writing time

everyone finished a detailed recount.

Lockhart Adventures—Peter Hogan

This holidays we went to the Lockhart Spirit of

Land festival. We went on a farm tour. We saw

canola, wheat and oats. Ashton, Matthew and I got

to hop on a tractor and saw seeders, chaser bins,

seed bins and a sprayer. The next day we went to

an Iris Farm. We got to press two blue triggers on

a hot air balloon, and the gas made flames come

out of the ignitors in the air. It got very, very hot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS J!


Science Works

The first place we went to at Science Works was a 3D

place. We learnt about space and how the earth works.

We then went to a science gallery and split into our

school groups where we had to beat Kathy Freeman in

a running race.

By Wil and Jordan

Melbourne Zoo On the 20th of September, the

year 3 and 4 students went to the Melbourne Zoo. We split up into different groups and explored all the parts of the zoo. We got to

see so many animals from wildlife to sea life.

By Madi and Rhys

Eureka Sky Deck

The Eureka Sky Deck is the highest public platform in the Southern Hemisphere. The

elevator made your ears pop and all you could hear was a bang! There were huge goggles at the top, we could

see the MCG. There is 88 floors. By Mason, Isabella and Ella
