This is what our students have been up to this week

Volunteers and School Helpers

This week we would like to celebrate and thank our helpers who take care of our students in other ways.

We have been lucky enough to have Red Cross voluteers come in each week, twice a week to run a Breakfast Club for your children. Each Tuesday and Thursday during term they arrive early to prepare and cook a nourishing breakfast so our students can start their learning day off on the right foot. A lesser know fact is that they also prepare a fruit platter for the classes, which students are free to enjoy throughout their morning lessons.

Thank you for helping fuel our students so they can have the best start to their school morning.

We are also extremely lucky to have 2 crossing supervisors who each morning and afternoon, no matter the weather, arrive early to set up our School's crossing on Lakeside Ave allowing your children and family to cross safely. Unfortunately Helen will be finishing up with us soon, but we hope to see her occassionly still filling in if needed. We look forward to welcoming her replacement soon. Jill works at our school and Tawonga P.S. Moving to the Kiewa Valley recently to start to take life a bit slower, but we are so glad she took on this job. Both have been a great asset and are always happy to wave when you drive by.

Thank you for helping us stay safe.

Year 4 with Kathryn

At school this week we heard there were monsters about..............

4K have been share-reading their own ‘monster’ themed picture story books this week which were based on the mentor text ‘The World’s Worst Monsters’ by David Williams.

This term students aimed to create their own interesting creature characters, settings and story plots before publishing and adding hand drawn pictures. We had scary monsters... cutie pie monsters... animals, people and objects! It was so great to see each students' own ideas come together.

4K students also learned how to dance the Time Warp and enjoyed a special class dress up day on Tuesday to celebrate our term.
