Craig Dent Author Visit
Local author, Craig Dent visited Myrtleford P12 College on
Tuesday 4th December to read his new book to the Prep-6 students.
The book is called, “The Owl Who Travels Through Time”. Last year
Craig came to the school to run a writing workshop with the Year
3-4
students and they helped contribute ideas to his earlier book
called, “The Kookaburra Who Lost His Laugh”. Craig invited the
students to read some sections of the book, as well as engaged the
students with various questions during the reading. Our College
Library has copies of both books written by Craig and students are
welcome to drop in to see Mrs Morgan and have a read for
themselves.
Mr Lindsay
It’s the end of the year, and time for all library books to be
returned to the library so that I can commence a stock take and
other end of year jobs. Please assist your children to return all
borrowed books as soon as possible. Thanks, Kath Morgan
(Librarian)

HEALTH CORNER...with Adolescent Health Nurse Rosemary Bunge
1A/H
Grade 1L, 5B, and 2L have been down to visit Myrtleford Lodge
recently, along with Year 9 regular visitors. Each group of
students have presented different activities and created happy
memories with the residents. I am sure they will miss our
visits
over the big summer break. The photo wall is looking fantastic
and before Christmas I will take it down and bind it into a coffee
table
book for all to enjoy. After our visit today the regular Year 9
visitors and I enjoyed some morning tea at Alpine Gate Cafe to
celebrate their wonderful work over the year.

On Tuesday, Grade 1L walked to Myrtleford Lodge to showcase our
play “Mack the Quack”. Lily also played some songs on piano which
she has been practising. We finished off with singing a couple of
Christmas carols which
the Lodge crew joined in with. It’s great to see our students
interacting with the residents of the Lodge, some
even introducing themselves in Italian!
Nia L. I liked seeing Gwyneth. I introduced myself in Italian to
a lady who is from Italy.
Lily P. I played piano and did Christmas carols. I wore reindeer
ears while we did the carols. I was Mother Duck and Noah was Mack
the Quack.
Will H. We got our scripts and headbands and got ready for the
play. Lily played the piano while we waited for the people to
arrive. The narrators went first and then the duck family came
on.
Adam U. We were reading Mack the Quack and I was Judge Well and
also a Narrator. I shook hands with some of the residents.
A little bit of morning fun with Mr Selway for Year 1L on
Wednesday. In partners and small groups they practiced and
performed little skits for their classmates. Once each group was on
the ‘stage’ , the class said “lights, camera, action” and the
performance began. This was followed by a bow. Everyone
participated and watched with great enthusiasm.

This shows the Year 7's final piece of 'Ancient Egypt' work.
They have learnt about ancient
Egyptian housing, agriculture, lifestyle, religion,
mummification, rulers, geography and
hierarchy. These are 'death masks' worn by pharaohs when they
were buried.

Year 9 Mathematics - Scale Factor Projects Year 9s in Term Four
had an assignment to make an enlarged object of our choice. Some
examples of these objects are: avocado, ruler, and clock. We did
this task to show that we understood scale factor and could find
the scale factor of different shapes. Scale factor is where you
enlarge of minimize a shape. We do this by finding the length of
the sides and multiplying them to find the new side length.
