Term 3 13 August 2020 Week 4
By the time you read this, Their Excellences, the Governor-
General of the Commonwealth of Australia, The Honourable
David Hurley and Mrs Linda Hurley will have visited our school.
This week has certainly been frantic with preparations but I am
so proud of the 60 students included for their fantastic attitude
and commitment. We sang “I Am Australian’, ‘Away From The
Roll Of The Sea’ and ‘Oye’.
Thank you to every staff member for helping to prepare for this
afternoon. Timetables have been completely thrown out the
window, but what an experience.
COVID-19 restrictions continue in schools. Thank you to our
families for their continued support regarding these restrictions
which help to keep our school healthy and open. For hygiene
purposes, please remember to send your child to school with a
drink bottle as we are not using bubblers.
Another part of these restrictions is that there are no excursions,
so unfortunately our Stage 3 camp scheduled for the middle of
term 4 has been cancelled.
We are hoping to organise the next P & C meeting by ZOOM,
further details to follow.

Activities
Spheros – Mrs Gliddon
Peer support groups had fun free driving their
Spheros, before they created a maze challenge
and tried to drive their Spheros down through their
mazes to bowl over as many cups from their tower
as possible. Some wonderful creativity and
persistence shown by all. Well done!
-
Music Activity – Mrs Frazer
Groups participated in games and exercises to reinforce musical ideas with rhythm and movement.
These musical games help promote coordination, memory, language and maths skills. Learning
music also builds students cooperation, creativity, self-esteem and social skills. Students
particularly enjoyed ‘The Breakfast Song’ and ‘8,4,2,1’.
Aboriginal Painting – Mrs Robinson
Peer Support groups created beautiful Aboriginal
Paintings. Students went outside to colour in their picture,
using the concrete to give the texture of rock paintings,
they then applied a blue wash over the top and to finish
these paintings students very carefully outlined them with
dots.
-
Harry Potter – Mrs Jones
In the K/1J classroom, peer support groups
participated in a fun activity creating their very
own fantastic beast! Inspired by dragons,
nifflers, hippogriffs and other creatures in the
magical world, students’ beasts were
characterised by flaring nostrils which breathe
fire, pouches to stash treasure, and fierce eagle
claws. Everyone had a wonderful time!
Paper Weaving- Mrs Sharwood
In 3/4S the students learnt paper weaving. A
cardboard frame had been prepared and
coloured strips had been pre-cut. The children
had to choose coloured strips and weave the
paper in and out of the frame. The pattern was
over and under for the 1st row and then under
and over for the second row. The results were
impressive.
-
STEM Challenge – Mr Manning
In Mr Manning’s classroom, groups were issued a challenge to build structures from cups, blocks and
paddle pop sticks. There were 4 challenges – build a structure using one cube as its base, build the
tallest structure you can, build a structure with something sticking out at a weird angle and build a
structure with a cup as its base. Groups only had 5 minutes per challenge and were scored for originality
and design. There were some fantastic buildings and a lot of collaboration.

Cooking-Mrs Anderson
The library had delightful cooking
smells wafting around last
Wednesday when four groups were
able to learn to cook Chicken and
Sweet Corn Soup. Most students
were amazed when handling fresh
ginger and then smelled it when
grated! Each child took home a copy
of the recipe and sampled ‘a cup of
soup’. Most voted it delicious, some
younger ones were hesitant.
Hopefully they will become more
adventurous as their taste buds
mature.
Gardening with Mrs P
Looking to the future. We
spoke about ways to recycle
and reuse things for the
garden. The students had to
listen and follow directions to
make pots out of newspaper.
They worked with a partner to
help each other to make the
paper pots then planted
vegetable seeds and flower
seeds. Fingers crossed that
they will germinate to put into
our spring gardens.

Peer Support Session Two This Friday, the Year Six students will be doing their second
session of Speaking Out. Children interact with a lot of other
children and adults every day. Whilst many of these
interactions are positive, some may be regarded as conflict.
Despite this, not all conflicts involve bullying behaviours.
Students will look at some examples to help them decide what
bullying is and what isn’t. They will make an owl to help them
remember what bullying is not and how important it is to say
sorry.
