FROM THE PRINCIPALKellyville Village hosted the Waste Warriors Program in theholidays.
The Waste Warriors Program aims to teach and inspire primaryschool children on the importance of recycling and creatinga sustainable future. Children were invited to create their veryown Waste Warrior puppet using recycled materials commonlyfound around the home and school whilst teaching them aboutrecycling and sustainability. The most popular puppets starredin the Waste Warriors Puppet Show.
As an added incentive, the school who had the most studentsattend the workshops was awarded a $2,500 prize. Thatschool was Sherwood Ridge. The School SRC will be decidingon how to use the money to improve the school environment.
Eric from Kellyville Village presented the cheque to students atAssembly this week.
On Monday 23rd October and Wednesday 1st November theschool held their Kindergarten Orientation Program. TheKindergarten Orientation provides an opportunity for childrenstarting next year to experience school. The children visit aKindergarten class, participate in activities, listen to stories,meet, and work with their Year 5 Buddy. The children had agreat time and were very proud to show their parents the workthey had created during the visit.
While the children were experiencing school their parents alsohad the opportunity to learn about the social and academicaspects of school, purchase uniforms and school readiness.

Preparing for Kindergarten
Parents can do a lot to help prepare their child for Kindergartenbefore the big 'first day'. Below is a list of skills that will be usefulfor children starting Kindergarten.
We recognise that not all children will have these skills aseveryone develops at a different pace, so this is intended onlyas a guide so that starting school may be just a little easier.
Encourage your child to attempt the things mentioned below,but don't worry if your child can't do all of them. Talk to the
1
Kindergarten teacher, and together you can support and assistyour child's learning.
Personal/Social Skills
SCHOOL SUPERVISIONParents are reminded that formal school supervision beginsat 8.30am each morning and continues during play breaksthroughout the day. At 3.00pm the students are dismissedunder the direct supervision of the staff. Students are expectedto leave the school grounds promptly and where possible, beunder the supervision of a responsible adult or older sibling.
The school understands that many parents have commitmentsat work which require them to leave before 8.30am and orarrive to pick up their children after 3pm. Unfortunately, thereis no staff supervision for students prior to the 8.30am andafter the end of the school day. However, there is availablewithin the school, a Before and After School Care service,Camp Australia which operates, depending on vacancies eachschool day. (1300 105 343)
Parents are reminded that students left unattended in theschool playground will be taken to Before and or After schoolCare for supervision and that this supervision will incur a fee.

HYDE PARK BARRACKS AND SYDNEYMUSEUM EXCURSION
During Week Two, Year Three students had an excursion tothe city and became historians when visiting the Hyde ParkBarracks and the Sydney Museum.
At the Hyde Park Barracks, the World Heritage listed building,the students learnt about the experiences of male convicts wholived at the barracks between 1819 and 1848. Students had theopportunity to try out the hammocks and learn about some ofthe other punishments the convicts faced if they broke the rulesof the barracks. To enhance the experience, the students weregiven convict shirts, marked with the broad arrow and wererequired to work as a team to lay some bricks to get a taste ofconvict work.
The students also visited the Sydney Museum, the original siteof the first Government house. Here, the students were guidedthrough the museum and had the opportunity to look at therange of artworks and artefacts from before and after the arrivalof Europeans. The students stepped back in time and listenedto the Aboriginal peoples' experiences and learnt about thechallenges of communicating without a shared language.
The Year Three students represented Sherwood Ridge PublicSchool with pride and behaved exceptionally well across bothdays. This excursion has enhanced learning experiences withinthe classwork as they can now make positive connections fromtheir findings and observations in their classwork. Once again,well done Sherwood Ridge!
