Hi Everyone As you will be aware next Tuesday 7th November is the Melbourne Cup Day Public Holiday. The school will be closed on this day, however Monday preceding Cup Day is a normal school day and all students are expected to attend school – one day missed is one day of lost learning!

School Council Report. At a recent meeting of the School Council the Student Representative Council (SRC) (Student Voice) attended and gave a report on their outstanding achievements including fundraising activities and SRC meetings conducted during 2017. The SRC are to be congratulated on their fantastic achievements. The work of our SRC under the leadership of Miss Hampson and Miss Felmingham is commendable. The Council approved the finance report of income and expenditure for the trading period since the last meeting then approved the parent helpers list. The Council discussed and approved funding the refurbishment project involving the area adjacent to the junior school playground and sandpit. The project involves artificial grass and concrete areas, seating, pathways, established trees and garden beds and mounds. This project is totally managed by the Department and all going well is to commence during this term.

Next week all students in Foundation (Prep), Year 1 and Year 2 will be participating in an exciting morning of Athletics activities.

a. Year 1 - Wednesday 8th November b. Foundation – Thursday 9th November c. Year 2 – Friday 10th November

This is a day where we invite students to collect sponsors from family members and friends then come along in fluoro colours and participate in walk and/or run around a designated track on the oval.

From the Welfare Officer

Conversation skills for children: Talking and Listening When it comes to learning about talking and listening the child will learn from their parents. Parents can teach their child by prompting, guiding and practising. Children are likely to learn best when they are told clearly what you want them to do. For example you might: Prompt your child to say, “Please say thank you to

Grandma for taking you to the park.”

Guide your child by saying, Sarah, if I’m speaking to

someone you need to say, “Excuse me”, and then

wait until I am ready to listen.”

Have practise conversations with your child

where you take turns to ask questions and listening

to answers.

Encourage children to voice their opinion and that

it is important to listen to others opinions also.

Model good listening. Children need time to talk

and they feel that they have been heard.

Being able to talk and listen to others is important for children. It helps children make friends, be listened to, ask for what they want and mix with others. A great question to ask your children after school when they get home is “What went well for you today?” This is a growth mindset and positive approach which is great real dialogue from your child about what they have experienced through the day.

New star for Cranbourne East Primary school towards sustainability.

Figure 1 solar power fun

We’ve achieved our Energy star, another milestone

in our journey towards Sustainability certification

in becoming a Resourcesmart AuSSI Vic School just

recently.

To launch our Energy module CERES delivered a

very informative and entertaining whole school

Incursion- Melbourne Energy Classroom. The

presenters enthralled our years 3 to 6 students

and Power Rangers excited our P to 2 students as

part of our Kickstart program. Energy education

continued in classrooms throughout the year with many different activities focused on

how energy is used, how it can be saved, different forms of energy and the importance

of knowing about and using renewable sources of energy.

Students have also been recycling with tubs in every learning space, improving on

bringing rubbish free lunches and snacks to school and growing great healthy produce

to sell to the community in our vegetable

garden.

We are well on our way in contributing

to and educating about living in a more

sustainable future.
