Term 2 Halfway there... Happy Snaps!

 

Who says learning can't be fun? 

You just need the right tools, engaging activities and thoughtful presentation to help children learn something new without feeling like they are being "taught."

Here's what we've been up to . . . 



NATIONAL SORRY DAY Friday 26 May 2023

These are important dates for us to acknowledge as we work towards harmony and inter-cultural understanding as a nation. We went down to the mia-mia with our Year 1K buddy class and special four-legged guest, Miss Jilly Duffield.


       

     

  
   


PERSUASIVE ADVERTISING Friday 19 May 2023

We decided to beat the professional graphic designers at their own game and re-invented the packaging for our favourite chips! Zoe and Keenan explained the project and persuasive devices used, to our Year 1K buddies, who voted for which chips they would buy based on the packet design.





HASS - BUSHFIRES Thursday 25 May 2023

Golly gosh, who are these mongrels :) We made the most of the sunny weather and stunning surroundings and took our learning outside! We had a rich discussion about what we would take with us (and have to leave behind), in the event of a bushfire evacuation.   



YEAR 5/6 LEADERSHIP DAY Monday 22 May 2023

Our Year 5 and 6 students were in the hall last Monday for our Leadership Day with Lorin Nicholson. They were treated to some great guitar playing, inspiring messages and some challenging activities.

  





YOGA / MEDITATION 25 May 2023

For the last two Thursdays, we participated in yoga and meditation sessions with Mrs. Heather Starr. I was very impressed with how the kids participated. 



Until next time . . . 
















Warmly,
Anne Coltrinari

Operation Christmas Child / Home Learning

  Hi team, Just a quick blog post regarding 'Operation Christmas Child' and 'Home Learning'. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD You would have received a handout last week explaining the following: All the children in Year Five will soon  participate in  'Operation Christmas Child' which is an initiative with the goal of packing shoeboxes full of little surprises to give to a child who may have never received a gift before. By participating in this, our children will have a first hand experience aimed at building the school value of compassion.  Your child will be grouped with four other children to contribute and pack the shoe box. The cost to send a shoe box will be  $2.50 per child .  We are asking you to encourage your child to do something extra at home to earn the money that is needed to buy the item to put into the provided shoe box. Please see below an example of the provided shoe box for Operation Christmas child: It is very exciting for the children to sha...

Sugar Overload

Kaya Parents, Sorry to bust in on your weekend... I would like your support with our Sugar Overload project. Please assist your child with going through some pantry items or take them along to Coles on your next shop, so they can read the nutritional panel on packages and record the amount of sugar per 100g serve of the product.   I would like just the data collection done and ready to go by Monday morning. . . handwritten on note paper is fine, the children can tabulate on Word during class time. Full details on OneNote            That's all for now ... over and out! Anne Coltrinari
