Prep and Juniors Book week activities last week
The Juniors focused their learning around the CBCA shortlisted books for 2021.
The books that they explored were
- No Never
- The Unwilling Twin
- Anemone is not the enemy
- Norton and the bear
- Your birthday was the best
Here is some of the Preps writing all about their unwilling twins. They chose an animal and gave interesting facts about their partners in crime.
The Preppies this week brought book covers to life for Ms Quinlan’s special book week competition and their entries were so creative and fun. Please see some of the Prep talent on the following Literacy page.
After reading the book Anenome is not the enemy. The Preps created posters to bring awareness to the importance of keeping our waters clean and free from rubbish.
The Preps created minibeasts inspired by the insects from the book
‘Your birthday was the best’
Lots of the Preps have sent in photos of them with their Dad or their special person,
for the upcoming Father’s Day celebrations on Sunday.

Summing up the week by Angus P
This week has been fun.
We have been with our friends a lot more because the teachers have done a meet for nearly every subject.
I enjoy my blue group when we read Wonder.
I enjoy the virtual playground that the teachers created. There are 3 virtual playground groups my group is on Thursdays with all of the boys.

Transdev School Bus Safety Poster Competition
Do you know a wee Warhol, a compact Cezanne or a petite Picasso? Transdev are calling all Victorian primary school students to create a poster about bus safety for their chance to win some fantastic prizes!
This poster competition is a great opportunity for Prep to Year 6 students to engage with and learn about safe travel on and around buses, and to employ analytical and creative skills to develop a poster promoting bus safety.
Teaching students about travelling safely on the bus network helps build confidence when travelling and prepare them to travel independently to and from school. Safety is a priority and they are committed to educating students about safe behaviours on buses and spreading the message that bus safety is everybody’s responsibility.
The bus safety poster competition opens on Monday 26 July and closes midnight Sunday 19 September. Prizes include games, book vouchers and arts packs. Prizes will be awarded in three categories : Prep – Year 2, Years 3 - 4 and Years 5 - 6. A special prize called the “Journey Makers’ Choice Award” chosen by popular vote of Transdev Melbourne staff will also be awarded in each category and a prize awarded to the school with the most student entries. Winners will be announced in early October.
For more information and to submit their entry, students can visit https://transdevmelbourne.com.au/poster-competition/.
