It's nearly the end of the school year - ALL books need to be returned to the Library. If you have an overdue book, please check at home and return asap. Thanks and appreciated.
BOOK WEEK
Thank You to ALL students and staff for joining in Book Week for 2020. We certainly had many book characters and curious creatures dressed up to participate in our level parades and class/library activities.
Each class paraded and shared their character to the level by speaking on the microphone. Classes chose different short-listed books and completed an art activity related to the book. Library activities involved going on a 'scavenger hunt - book search', 'curiosity exhibit' and 'library curious creature'. This year the Staff dressed up as flies, the characters from The Fly Guys series by Tom Arnold.
Thank you to parents for supporting our annual Book Week and assisting with costumes.

- Fun competitions and reading challenges

PEREGRINE FALCONS
After reading the book HOME by Narelle Oliver in Home learning 2. Our 3 - 6 students followed the journey of the peregrine falcons that nest each year on a building ledge in Melbourne CBD. We enjoyed viewing as 3 eggs were hatched and watching these eyases (chicks) grow until they were ready to fledge (take flight for the first time). The website www.367collinsfalcons.com.au was eagerly visited each week to see the development and growth of these birds. Even our P - 2 students tuned in and joined in the excitement.
We are loving our new library space and we look forward to having families back onsite next year so as all can see this wonderful new learning space in action. Thanks to all students and families for your support this year and reminding your children to return their books and swap them over for new ones.
Regards
Karen & Lorraine
