TERM 4 BEGINS

WOW, how fast has this year gone by, I can't believe that is fourth term already. It is going to be an extremely exciting term. This Friday we will be starting our Grade 6 Graduation Fundraising activities. We are going to be having a Sausage Sizzle on Friday, we would love for everyone to help us by buying a sausage or veggie burger (order forms will go home on Monday). The following Friday we will be selling ice-cream cones at lunchtime and then the next week we will be having a cupcake stall (all cupcakes will be made by the student!)
Curriculum wise, the first of our major events will be the Level 4 Regatta where the students will be creating a boat/craft to race in the Regatta. The Regatta will be held on Thursday 28th October. The time is still to be confirmed. This will be a fantastic learning experience where all the students work in teams to create their craft.
Also this Term Miss Harris is back with Grade 6M to complete her final teaching round. It will be fantastic to have Stacey back with us. It will be great to have an extra set of hands around to help out with Graduation performance preparation.
After Week 4 we are going to be starting a new topic which focuses on creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and keeping ourselves safe and preparations for secondary school. In the first week of November the three week Family Life/Human Development program will begin. We will also be running a Bike Education program later this term.
The Grade 6 Graduation date has been set for Monday the 13th December. Undoubtedly this will be a highlight for many of the students.
Stay tuned to see our claymations from last term.
