WRITING ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

This semester a small group of our Year 5 students will be participating in a Writing Enrichment Program via ZOOM with Dr Kate Bricknell. Our students will be connecting with students from another school during the ZOOM sessions, fostering a network of talented writers. The students will work on two tasks based on the topic I believe… Each student will compose one narrative and one persuasive piece of writing. The writing will be 600 words in length, of considered and refined writing. Writing will be collated into an e-book, given to each student at the end of the program. Our aim is to develop higher order writing skills and an understanding of the tools of craftsmanship applicable to the writing process. The program commenced in Week 3 and will run fortnightly on Fridays, 9:30-10:30 in the Library, throughout Term 1. Early in Term 2 we will have a ‘sharing workshop’, where students will be able to share and reflect on their writing. Mrs Mackerras will be present during the ZOOM sessions to support our students. This is a very exciting initiative to be a part of. Our Year 5 students participating in this program are Rian Cabahug, Jacinta Gee, Jada Catanzariti, Abdullah (Dwip) Al Fawhad, Brennah-Lee Abera Crowe, Ebony Best, Misha Brill, Armahni Cook, Jed Irvin and Jessica Edwards.

P&C NEWS

Project We have completed another project that has been in the pipeline for some time. We have had a beautiful quote installed on our container on the Wilga St side. Last year we purchased a storage container to hold excess P&C equipment, archives and uniforms. Mrs St Baker organised for it to be painted and on Tuesday our artwork was installed. We have a great school that has a wonderful culture and we want our children to be proud, feel safe and happy at our school. Canteen We will still be holding canteen on Friday while the Primary students are at the Swimming Carnival.

PARENT/TEACHER/STUDENT INTERVIEWS - IMPORTANT

This week teachers will be setting up schedules to our 3-way interviews with students and parents. It is important that all parents schedule a meeting as students will be setting their learning goals for this term or semester. These goals will be reported on in each students’ report. Parents and students are welcome to also attend these meeting via telephone conference if it is easier. Once your appointment is set in the Schools Interview website (details on how to access this will be coming home soon), please email your teacher and indicate you wish to attend via teleconference. All teacher email addresses are listed below.

ITALIAN - MRS VIOLI Welcome to another year of Italian! Classes have settled well into their routines of coming over to Italian. Only Stage 2 and 3 classes have Italian at this stage. Stage 1 classes will start Italian in Term 2. Stage 2 classes are working on a wellbeing unit based on the big book “Per Star Bene’ (To Stay Healthy). The book deals with different activities to keep us active and healthy. As we continue through the unit, we will also include healthy food options as outlined in the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating.

3/4E has had a terrific start getting to know new class mates and teacher. We have been focusing on new routines, expectations and having a great work ethic. Our class goals are to always be kind, to respect our self and others and to never give up. We have began our stage 2 novel study-”How to train your dragon” with the novel and the movie. There are some terrific interpretations of dragons in the children’s drawings and writings that 3/4E have been working on. During maths time 3/4E are learning all about whole numbers. We created a robot focusing on place value . This term 3/4E is going to Italian Our library day is on Fridays. Please remember your library bags to look after our fantastic library books. Primary sport will be on Fridays at 10.30. Currently we are playing whole class games and skill based activities. As of Week 5 primary sport rotations will commence. Looking forward to seeing a fantastic effort by everyone at the swimming carnival this Friday.
