Dear Parents and Carers,

We are coming to the end of the school term, however, there are a few notices you may like to add to your diaries:

Warm regards,

Together, we are Stronger and Smarter

Lego Mania Hits the Library

The library got smashed this week with the Lego-maniacs from Kindy to Year 2. Not only do they spend some of their library time building amazing creations but they flock to our learning space during recess to continue creating.  It is wonderful to see so many students taking advantage of our extensive collection of Lego building bricks. This week they were surprised to see a real Lego table and chairs turn up in the library for even more fun!  

Check out the link to the video from 1/2  Sailors showing off their work.  Make sure you are logged into a DET account to view.

Zac and Maddi McGill gifted Anh Do’s book Wolfgirl to our collection last week when they found out that we had the second book, but not the first.Thank for your kind and thoughtful donation!

Overdue Books - We still have in excess of 50 books that are overdue and it would be a nice surprise if they all come flooding back before the end of term.  Next week is the last week of borrowing and I highly recommend that students take home some extra reading material.  Winter is a great time to curl up and read, read, read!  Have a great weekend everyone.

​Gardening for Sustainability - CARROTS! 

The children reaped the rewards of their hard work in the garden. Students from Stage 1 and Stage 2 were excited at pulling out and tasting the carrots they had grown from seed this semester. We had some unusual shapes but this provided an important lesson in recognising that not all vegetables grow perfect, but this does not alter their taste nor their nutrients. 

Happy gardening during the holidays! Carrots, peas, cabbage, leafy greens are all great for your winter garden.

Stage 2 have learnt about the impacts of smoking during Drug Education lessons. The children created posters and brochures to share their knowledge with friends and family. Here are some student samples.

They have also been creating short monologues throughout the term and learning about filmmaking techniques. They have explored storyboarding and camera angles and experimented using some professional filmmaking equipment.

Lunchtimes are always jam-packed full of activities and it is not just eating and playing.  Some students have been spending their lunchtimes with Ms Loui and Mrs Hanson trying out for the Tournament of Minds and the Game Changer teams. Congratulations to the following team members: Tournament of Minds - Chi, Keshy, Abby, Evie G, Kate, Tahlia, and Olivia.  They will be completing their challenge over the course of six weeks during Term 3 and then submitting their solution online for judging. The Game Changers are:  Evie S, Ashley, Angela, Ella, and Mali. They will be working with Ms Leslie on the Department of Education challenge: “How might we use technology to bring everyone in our community closer together?”   Good luck to all team members.  We all look forward to seeing the results of your problem-solving endeavours!
