SRC News - APS Crazy Hair Day
Hi Parents and Carers,
You might have seen all those wonderful hairstyles last Friday - they sure were crazy!
As you may recall we asked all the peers to bring a cold coin donation to go towards the Royal Children’s Hospital. We raised ... $285.10!!
Well done for raising SO much awareness!!
We would also like to thank you for your work with sending colours and diversity around the school and we hope that this taught your kids to always be themselves and never doubt who they are!
Yours sincerely,
The SRC Reps
Year 6 Poetry
Using Book Club as inspiration Year 6 students created poems to demonstrate understanding of their chosen text.
CECE: When You Reach Me
With yellow stains
And a mean glare
Pulsing veins
And a piercing stare
Jimmy’s sandwich store
Counting bread
It was a chore
But she didn’t care
Not earning money
Getting sodas instead
It was funny
She earned cheese and bread
Customers walk in
They order they’re done
Put the wrapper in the bin
Then eat the bun
For 40 minutes they work
They slave
They perk
Then at the end of lunch, it’s class time
Angus and Jack: Cop and Robber
There once was kid named Nash
His father was a piece of trash
They got in a fight
And were given quite a fright
They can’t say or they’ll be given a bash
------------------------------------------------------------
He had a Mum and a Dad
His Dad was very sad
His Mum was a Cop
Who put baddies to a stop
And are now in debt of an old comrade
Detention: Emily
Detention is a book about
How Sima has to get out
Dan found a dog he needs to help
But the dog just wants to yelp
Sima is getting chased
And it has been a big race
Sima has to get to Leeton
But she is scared she might get beaten
Dan wants to help her out
But he also has some doubt
That they were out of luck
When disaster struck
And a lockdown started
Everything parted
The teacher is helping
But someone might be telling
And the police might have some information.
Dean and Evan T: Rivers of Ink
There was a boy who woke up in a river
He was about to wither
But he just got to the city
And started hitting the gritty
Looking for food up and down
Side to side all around
When he reached the hospital…
Cloud And Wallfish - Ballad - Olivia
There was a boy from the USA
Who was forced into East Germany
A place where everywhere is oh so grey
And you can never act fearfully
Identity stripped, all dull and bare
Who could be less sad
A life of lies beyond compare
Nothing will make him glad
Noah missed his life back at his home
Where he could attend school
A place where he could freely roam
And might be seen as cool
Identity stripped, all dull and bare
Who could be less sad
A life of lies beyond compare
Nothing will make him glad
All throughout his misery
Noah met a girl named cloud
This year could be history
He might make someone proud
Identity stripped, all dull and bare
Who could be less sad
A life of lies beyond compare
Nothing will make him glad
When cloud faces the death of two
She falls into depression
They draw on a map, all brand-new
And find their new obsession
Identity stripped, all dull and bare
Who could be less sad
A life of lies beyond compare
Nothing will make him glad
Two Wolves - Frankie
‘Pride, jealousy, greed’
‘Kindness, hope, truth’
A constant contradictory
The pummelling essence of two wolves.
The raging temperament of a devil
Penetrating and staining
The subtle purity of an angel.
If the virtuous integrity is nurtured,
It will thrive, flourish and conquer.
If the vehement violence is stoked,
It will crush, destroy, and triumph.
Who will win?
Who will you feed?
Charlie & Miles: A Ballad - The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Bruno lived in Berlin.
He really liked it there.
Bruno moved to ‘Out With’
He became filled with despair.
The boy in the striped pyjamas.
It really is quite sad.
I didn't live back in those days.
But I guess I'm kinda glad.
Bruno made a swing.
And fell off onto his hand.
He got it mended up
and started to search the land.
The boy in the striped pyjamas.
It really is quite sad.
I didn't live back in those days.
But I guess I'm kinda glad.
Bruno found a boy called Shmuel.
He thinks he has a new best friend.
They talked a lot about their lives.
I think they'll be together till the end.
The boy in the striped pyjamas.
It really is quite sad.
I didn't live back in those days.
But I guess I'm kinda glad.
Bruno wants to be an explorer.
He is really quite brave,
Bruno loves to search the land,
But could that lead him to his grave?
The boy in the striped pyjamas.
It really is quite sad.
I didn't live back in those days.
But I guess I'm kinda glad.
Seth & Logan - River of Ink
The boy of the river
He’s a mystery to all
He started to quiver
And he started to crawl
He woke up in the city
Walking on the street
His heart sank into pity
With nothing to eat
He walked around town
Looking at the paint
Everything was brown
And he started to faint
He was in the hospital
A doctor in sight
He felt very little
He woke up with fright
Got moved to a home
Made a new friend
The house, shaped like a dome
And he started to mend
But with nothing from his past life
It was hard to see if he was right
He might have had a wife
Or he might have been a knight
But no one knows who he is
Not even him
He doesn’t know is what he says
Because he climbed from the river brim
Will he figure everything out?
Or will it be a mystery?
He always seems in doubt
He knows nothing about his history
