Tomorrow we play Heidelberg PS (away). Our bat tennis team will be at Heidelberg Primary School, 120 Cape St, Heidelberg. Our rounders and soccer teams will be played at Heidelberg Park, Beverley Road Oval, Heidelberg. $7.00 is required for the bus. All games begin at 12.15pm.
Please note - the last away game was cancelled due to bad weather. So no payment is required tomorrow, if you paid for the last bus trip.
Good Luck to all teams!

100 Days of School
Hello wonderful prep families!
There is a buzz of excitement in the prep area today, as there is now only 'one more sleep' until our '100 Days of School' celebration. Since their very first day of school our preps have been looking forward to their 100th day of school and have been counting down the days ever since. Tomorrow is shaping up to be a day filled with the number 100, costumes, photo booths, games, dancing and so much more.
As part of the celebration, students are invited to dress up as if they are 100 years old. This could include wigs, glasses, hats, walking sticks or anything the embodies being 100. We cannot wait to see our area filled with mini 100 year old's tomorrow. There will also be an official certificate presentation at tomorrow afternoons assembly that will see all students presented with a certificate to mark their 100th day of school.
If you're free we would love to invite you to join us to celebrate our amazing preps. Assembly will be at 2.45pm outside the BER building. Thanks so much for all of your support! We can't wait to celebrate your child's first 100 days of school tomorrow.

Creators & Designers Prep Inquiry Unit – can you help us?
Our Term 3 Inquiry unit, Creators and Designers, will see students exploring a range of materials and the ways that they can be changed. For our ‘Tuning In’ activities, we require a variety of materials for students to sort, as well as explore the possible ways to change the objects/materials. If you have any of the following materials lying around at home that you would be happy to donate to the Prep area, we would be very grateful!
The following is a list of some suggested materials:
- Metal: paperclip, pipe cleaner, foil, spoon
- Plastic: straw, spoon, bottle, container
- Rubber: balloon, rubber band
- Wood: stick, icypole stick
- Paper: plain paper, crepe, cardboard, paper towel
- Glass: marbles
- Other: sponge, tissue, a piece of fabric, playdough, a ball of wool, elastic, cotton wool, rock or stone
Thank you,
Kylie Smith, Sophie Cartelli & Emily Seing
