This week has been very busy, with the Book Fair and our trip to

Violet Town. The children enjoyed playing with the Nature

resources and building shelters, and they can’t wait for Miss

Johnson to bring some up to Bogie. We also enjoyed several

activities in the Stem Lab, including the B Bots, Lego and making a

Fairytale play using the dress ups. Quinn showed what an

amazing actor he really is! After lunch we perused the Book Fair,

and spent all our money or wrote Wish lists for our parents!

We are still looking at Myths and Legends in Literacy and Inquiry.

Today we enjoyed a little bit of the movie Shrek. We are also still

looking for photo frames for our classroom display.

The Bioluminescence Festival is on Friday evening in Euroa. Hope

all of the children can go and see their artwork projected onto the

walls of the buildings in Euroa.

We are still trialling the fortnightly, Tuesday, 3.00pm assembly,

hope to see you there


Dear Families,

As our Fantastic Fungi are project comes to an end, the time has come to get down to Euroa tonight,

to see your child’s artwork up in lights. Little projector company will transform buildings and trees in

the town with the Bogie kids artwork plus work from Longwood Primary and Euroa Secondary

College. There are currently displays of the Bogie students art up in the Supermarket windows, a big

thanks to Sarah Floyd at Burtons clothing for allowing me to take over her windows. Also, last week

for Bogie Backyard Virginia Wild brought her spinning wheel in and showed us how she prepares and

spins fleece. Thank you Virginia it was so relaxing watching the wheel and yarn spin and Beryl your

telling of Ruplestiltskin and the wild swans from memory was wonderful - a great story-teller in the

making our Beryl! We are moving towards a textiles unit and I invite crafty parents and grandparents

to get in touch if they would like to get involved in demonstrations, have textiles materials or

equipment to share, or make stuff together.

Violet Town Voice This week we were very lucky to have the book fair at school. There were

heaps of books, pencils, rubbers, posters and all sorts of things for sale.

The children really enjoyed see such a diverse range of books available.

On Wednesday afternoon we went for a local excursion down to

the Southern Aurora mural. Earlier in the year we went down and

saw it before the painting had begun. We were so lucky to see the

artists down there and ask questions and find out how they have

gone about creating the mural. It will be great to see later on in the

year when the mural is complete.

On Tuesday all the students

came together in the Junior

room and worked as teams to

determine questions they had

before, during and after

reading a fairy tale. It was

great to see some buddy

reading happening.

were visiting for the book fair. A number of

students have also been building shelters

and home with sticks and twigs they have

found in yard.

This week in the junior room we have been learning about explanation texts and place value in

maths. The students have also been learning about the origins of fairy tales.

In the senior room this week, we have also been looking at explanation texts, explaining how

Daedalus’ wings works from the myth of Icarus and Daedalus. We have also been beginning to

assemble a family tree of the Greek Gods in inquiry.

~ Health ~ Over the past fortnight, we have being learning about strengths – personal and team strengths. We have defined

strength as something we can do well (personal) or the things that help the team achieve a goal or level of success.

Here is a guide to what we have learnt and how we have gone about learning it all.

Some of our work and thinking

Prep – 2: Personal Strengths We have used a combination of picture storybooks and personal experiences to develop our understanding of two

personal strengths – being kind and being brave. Using “When Rose Meets Mr Wintergarten”, we drew on our

previous learning in Emotional Literacy to identify how the characters were feeling and how that might cause them to

behave. We developed a shared definition for each of these personal strengths:

Kind – when you say or do something to help someone or to cheer up a person who is sad

Brave – when you are nervous, worried, or scared about doing something but you still try and “give it a go”.

We also used some read-aloud books on YouTube to build on our ideas. Here we saw a mixture of adults, children,

and animals trying something new, feeling scared or nervous, and being brave.

Here are some samples of work from Baddaginnie-Swanpool where they drew a picture of their own experience

trying something new. As we shared the images, we also shared the emotions felt beforehand and decided on

whether that made individuals brave to “do” the new thing based on our shared definition.


Year 3-6: Team Strengths Our learning focused on identifying what behaviours really help a team to work towards achieving a goal. The size of the

team changed from working in pairs to groups of three and then as whole class. The positive behaviours identified across

the campus included listening, talking (about the task, sharing your ideas) listening (to instructions, ideas, to advice) and

concentrating.

Tapping into these ideas required the students to be active participants. We first used the Balloon Game where partners

could only tap their balloon with one hand AND keep it from touching the ground. Easy? The extra challenge was partners

had to hold hands the whole time. With discussions about what helped to achieve the goal and what made it challenging

we discovered some things we could not change (working inside the room, height of our partner) and things we could

change (individual choices about how we moved, communicated, the force we used etc).

Our second activity was the Sitting Circle where the class would stand in a circle and then everyone would begin to sit down

with the goal being that each person would “sit” on the knees of the person behind them. Despite some smaller than usual

class sizes, everyone got involved, with some funny moments as the classes tried to solve the problem of getting everyone

sitting in the circle. We then adapted the task to suit our smaller groups – a straight line instead. Again, communicating

how to position feet, where to look, move forward/backwards was a key behaviour for the team to experience success.

Below are some photos of Baddaginnie-Swanpool trying to meet the team challenges.

We all tried the Balloon Game as a pair and as a group of three

Josh’s reflection on team behaviours that

can hurt and help us to achieve goals

Take a seat…

Next Friday Will Stevens is representing Peranbin at the Ranges Division

Cross Country at Yea Golf Course.

Here’s to a great experience (and dry day) for you, Will.

3D model of becak.
