German Specialist Program
Poetry Competition
Years 4-6 Thank you parents for the help you are giving your son/daughter/friend in accessing the audios of their chosen poem for German (here if you didn't see this earlier :-https://padlet.com/AGTV2020/o1rqpdpq8tly7mji ). We are hoping to start making the video recordings of each student presenting their poem next week in German lessons. Those who miss a class can submit their video into a safe, dedicated folder on Compass, to be ready for both marking and competition judging. Details will be given to students.
We now have our prizes for this competition in place. Each year level will have 3 place gettings with prizes as follows:-
1st A set of Bluetooth Wireless Headphones valued at $39 ( Special thanks to the generosity of Office Works in Bendigo who donated 3 of these for our students)
2nd - Choice of either a movie pass voucher to Bendigo Cinema or Jumpz in Kangaroo Flat.
3rd - Alternate of above after 2nd place getter has chosen.
Year 3s are working on their Hundertwasser artist inspired artwork and beginning to write their poem to accompany this in classes next week. We will be selecting entries to be included in the State wide German Poetry & Art competition.
Year 1/2s have almost mastered shape, color, artist names and painting title descriptions in German and are now creating one of their own.
Preps will shortly be bringing home their own little colour booklets ("Farben"), which they will proudly read to you in German.
Thank you for your support and interest in our program.

Music News
New Keyboards have arrived!
Students were thrilled this week to find 9 new Yamaha keyboards in their music room! These keyboards were purchased by the school recently and will facilitate some exciting lessons with a focus on reading music and keyboard technique. We’re very lucky here at SGPS to have access to such wonderful equipment and resources for the students to use. Thank you to Thomas C, Declan S, Will D, Rheef and Hunter A for unpacking them and assembling all the stands, too.
