3-4 Daenke have been exploring our new topic for the term - Personal Strengths. We have begun to describe strengths that people cannot see in each other and in ourselves. RRRR teaches us that there are 12 (and probably many more) strengths that help us in our everyday lives, including: Bravery, Honesty, Kindness, Curiosity and Hardwork. As a class, we thought of examples of each, and wrote our own definitions for them.
'Honesty is when you tell the truth when something is hard to admit.' - Lotti
'Determined means even if something is hard, keep trying your best!' - Sonny & Lenny
Our Personal Strengths poster will help to remind us of these characteristics that we all have throughout the year.

We’re excited to announce our whole school reward possibilities for Term 2!!
If we make it to Level 1, students will have one hour of free time in the classroom.
If we make it to Level 2, students will have a chipnic!
We really hope we make it to Level 2 this term and get to have another fabulous chipnic.
Students are also looking forward to cashing in their stickers for an individual reward, such as Sienna G, who is planning to cash in her stickers to do a show and tell.
Our awesome SRC team have been busy already this term!
We began by voting for our top 3 whole school learning area upgrades. Information on this will be shared via newsletter and assembly, so keep your eyes peeled!
We also voted on the movie to be shown during an upcoming P&F outdoor movie night… information on that to come.
Our new lunchtime “Lego Club” will launch this term. We discussed how it will run and planned a timetable to supervise during odd weeks of the term.
Our Indigenous Leaders ran a brainstorming session about ‘Wear it Yellow’ – May 31. We came up with lots of great ideas for how that day will look.
Phew… great work team! Lots of things to look forward to!

Wear it Yellow Day! Friday 31st May
Recognise our shared history and celebrate First Nations Culture.
Why yellow? Yellow is one of the vibrant colours of the land. It is the colour of the sacred orchre that First Nations People have used for generations, representing deep connection to Country, earth, the sun and the land.
What is orchre? Ochre is used to paint Australian Indigenous art. Ochres are natural pigments and minerals found in the soil. These natural pigments (colours) were originally used to create Dreamtime stories and maps. They were used in body painting, rock painting, on artefacts and sometimes even on sand.
On May 31st, students are invited to wear yellow casual clothes to school for a gold coin donation. When you donate to “Wear it Yellow” you are supporting a bright future for First Nations children while learning about our shared histories. All funds raised will go directly towards supporting Children’s Ground and delivering self-determination, education, health and employment opportunities for First Nations people.
