“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”

Benjamin Franklin

7 HABITS AT HOME

It is important to continue the practice of the 7 habits over the holidays. Be

Proactive to ensure the holidays are fun and also involve a range of activities,

for example, practise your number facts, improve your reading and

comprehension and write about special holiday activities. Teachers would love to read

students’ writing when we are back to school next term!

SCIENCE FACT FROM MS ZIOGOS

Why Moths Circle Around Light Bibs?

Moths can tell where they’re going by keeping the light of the moon to one

side of their eyes. But when a moth sees a light bulb, it mistakes it for the

moon! It tries to keep the light bulb “Moon” on one side of its eyes, so it

circles around it.

A MESSAGE FROM MISS POULTER

Well done to the Grade 6 children on their amazing Printmaking work they recently

completed in Art.

The Grade 5 students have also been working on some fantastic art work which is displayed

around the school. Well done!

CLASS REPRESENTATIVE

We are still looking for a class representative for 5A, 5B and 6A. If you would be interested

in this role please let your child’s classroom teacher know.

VOTE FOR MR WHITE

A parent in Prep B has nominated Mr White for 'A Day made better' award ran by Office

Max. The winner gets stationary for their classroom to the value of $ 2 000 and an Apple

Ipad. Mr White does not know about this nomination and it is meant to be a SURPRISE.

Please do not mention this to Mr White

What a fantastic Term 2 we have had. Congratulations to all

the students in Grade 5/6 on an impressive term of learning

and achievements!

Dear Parents,

In preparation for our school movie, a costume may need to be

organised for your child over the holidays.

The Grade 5/6 students will be a variety of characters. They might

be a student, parent, teacher or one of our monsters. Your child will

know what character he/ she is. Please remember the children will also

be dancing in these costumes so they will need to be able to move freely.

We are scheduled to film on the following 2 dates:

Monday 21st July (Year 5/6 Parents & Main Actors)

Thursday 24th July (No costumes required-just school uniform as usual)

Monday 4th August Year 5/6 Monsters

It would be great to have some parent helpers on the day with

organisation, costumes, make up and any other aspects involved. If you

can help on one or more of the above days could you please let your child’s

classroom teacher know that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for helping with the organisation of this fantastic

project. We look forward to seeing our students be stars in our 2014

School Movie Production.

Please don’t hesitate to talk to us if you have any queries or concerns,

Thanks,

Laura Wapling, Arran Armitage and Teena Muscat.

HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY

&

WE LOOK FORWARD to SEEING YOU ALL AGAIN IN TERM 3!
