Japanese Theme Day

This Friday will be our Japanese Theme Day. The activities will all take place at the Buninyong Campus. The students will be split with some friends into the grade levels with the Buninyong Campus students. It is sure to be lots of fun. Students are encouraged to dress up for the day, but please try not to go to any expense. We’ll meet in the courtyard at the start of the day. Please ensure that you make a meeting place with your child/children for the end of the day.

 

Wakakirri 

The kids have be rehearsing so hard for the upcoming performance on Monday. A huge congratulations to Mrs Morgan for all of her hard work in preparing the kids. We would like to wish her, Quinn, Despina, Lexie, Lara and Logan the best of luck. Enjoy the experience.

 

Grade 3 Camp

The Grade 3’s had a wonderful time at Queenscliff last week. Although it was a little chilly, they threw themselves into the activities and had a great time. The students visited the Marine Discovery Centre and Queenscliff Fort, made pizza’s and also spent some time down on the beach. We all even managed to get a little bit of sleep! It was so much fun.

 

New Chook Shed

As you know, our Chook shed has well and truly seen better days. We would like to replace it with a new and improved version over the coming weeks. If you have some old materials laying around at home (tin, timber, windows, laying boxes, etc) that you no longer require, we would greatly appreciate them. We are also searching for some helpers to build the new shed. We already have 3 ready to go, so If you have some building skills and tools or would just like to help, please contact Shaun ASAP. Construction of the new shed will start this Friday from 9am. Helpers most welcome.

Back Creek Farm Visit

Unfortunately, the weather was against us last  week, so the Gr P-3’s were unable to visit the Back Creek Farm. We look forward to enjoying some time out there later in the term though.

 

Pen Licences

Congratulations to Jack, Leo and Lucas who all received their pen licence on Monday at assembly. They have been working very hard on their writing. Fingers crossed that some more students receive a licence in the coming weeks.

Gr 5 Sovereign Hill Excursion

A reminder that the Gr 5 Sovereign Hill Excursion is coming up next week (22nd/23rd August). Please ensure that all permission notes and payments have been returned ASAP.
