Term 2 Important Dates

Scotsburn Assembly and Bunjil Awards

Well done to this week’s Bunjil Award winners - you have continued to demonstrate our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Kindness to a very high level.

As always at our little assemblies, it is wonderful to have students come up and share their learning. Well done to some of our SC1 students for demonstrating such bravery!

Scotsburn Yard Play

We love this time of year at Scotsburn, as the Autumn leaves provide lots of fun play time! Over the last week we have seen lots of leaf collecting and cooperative games.

Home Reading and Homework

It has been great to see so many students maintain a wonderful routine with their homework and home reading. As we know, our homework is a great way to connect our learning in the classroom to home, along with consolidating key concepts taught.

Over the next few weeks at Scotsburn, we will be getting back into acknowledging our amazing home readers. Please remember to fill out our home reading diaries and bring them back into class each day. 

Well done everyone, keep it up!

Grade 4 Anglesea Camp

For our Grade 4 families, camp is fast approaching in Week 8. Thank you for getting our medical forms filled out and back to school. Please also keep an eye on Compass for any camp related information in the next few weeks. It’s getting exciting!

Scotsburn Learning Snapshot

This week marks the beginning of each class completing some more formal assessments, leading into our reporting period. These assessments allow staff to confirm their ongoing assessments and teacher judgements for each student, as well as inform their future teaching direction. At Scotsburn, our students are doing a wonderful job in acknowledging that these assessments are not a big deal, and that all we ask is that everyone gives their personal best.

One of these assessments is our Cold Write. This task allows the students to complete a piece of writing based on a school-wide prompt. Students love this opportunity to show off their writing skills and all that they have been learning in writing, in a creative and fun way.

Morning Start Times

As we know with our new daily schedule, our morning sessions are jam packed with learning and we aim to begin our lessons right at 9am. We do a great job with this however, please continue to do your best to have your children arrive by 8:50am, so that they can get their morning routine jobs completed and be ready to start the day at 9am. 

If you are running a little late for drop off, don’t forget to phone down to the Buninyong office or the Scotsburn phone so that we can update our roll marking.
