Term 4 week 6

Week 5 was a short week, with Monday being a curriculum day and Melbourne Cup Tuesday. 

On Wednesday we celebrated the race that stops a nation and Thursday was Children’s Choice, where the kids were be able to revisit an activity from the previous weeks of term, or explore a country that wasn’t included within the past two weeks Saturday the 5th of November was Guy Fawkes Day, or more commonly known as Bonfire Night, an annual English tradition commemorating the failed attempt to blow up London’s House of Parliament in the 17th-century. We enjoyed this occasion on Friday with lots of Firework activities 

This week his week is National Recycling Week, this year the theme has an emphasis on "Waste isn't waste until its wasted" Australia’s annual National Recycling Week aims to help people recycle correctly and highlights the importance of closing the loop (i.e., circular economy) by buying items made from recycled materials. This, as a result, births a more sustainable future.

Some of the activities included this week were Upcycled Crafts & DIY Plant Pots & DIY Bird Feeders. Recycling Centre Dramatic Play and Cereal Box Garage & Water Bottle Race Cars. We had great fun Upcycling Markers into Watercolours we had Recycled Boat Races and a Trash Tower Building Challenge.

Next week it is all about food and food safety.
