It all has to start somewhere and a great start often means a fantastic finish. I was

lucky to take the photos below whilst sharing the kindergarten orientation last

week. It is one of the great privileges of being a teacher to be able to see little

ones like these begin and in a few weeks, farewell our grade six students to travel

their high school years knowing we have prepared them well for this journey.

The last week has seen me able to also spend time in some exceptional teachers

classrooms doing lesson observations as part of the Professional Development

Plans each teacher now has. Lessons in L3, Information Technology and our new

and exciting library research system so aptly named OLIVER have allowed me to

see quality teaching and learning in our classrooms.

The left hand column of our

The P and C would like to invite all parents and caregivers to our final meeting for 2015 - 7pm in the Demo dining room TONIGHT.

We would like, in particular to extend an invitation to all Fete stall holders and helpers, as at this meeting we will discuss what we will donate your hard earned funds to. It would be great to get your input.

The last meeting is a little less formal than usual as we really just want to thank everyone for their support in 2015.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Light refreshments will be provided. Sam Maiden P&C President

3B Class News

It has been such a busy, but wonderful term in 3B!

We have been practicing our skills on the laptops quite often. Our typing is becoming faster and more accurate, and we’ve even learnt how to use programs such as Microsoft Power Point to write our recounts. We have also been using the laptops to research Australian animals for our information reports in writing lessons.

We were lucky enough to participate in a first aid course last week with the rest of year 3 and year 4.

During art lessons we have created portraits of ourselves wearing funky sunnies and looking out on to vast landscapes.

Last term in HSIE we looked at goods and services in our local community. We were able to create our own 3D shops with many different art and craft materials. After our shops were completed, we each gave a presentation to the class outlining the name of the store, the layout, the products sold, and the ideal customer.
