Friday 21st August Principal: Katherine Holman Deputy Principal: Terry Minos

From the Principal – Katherine Holman It is that time of year when we do our surveys. The Parent

Opinion Survey went out earlier this week and already we

have had 42 responses which is fantastic. We will

continue to send reminders until the 11th of September

when the survey closes. You can access the survey on the

link that is pasted below or via the email that was sent to

you. The survey only takes less than 10 minutes and

provides us with valuable information about what is going

well and what we could improve. Each year we have a

great response to the survey and this year we are trying to

beat 100 responses. It would be great if you could help us

achieve this goal.

Sports Day

With the COVID – 19 restrictions it is unfortunately

looking unlikely that we will be able to have parents

attend at our Sports Day. We have sought advice and

most schools have or are intending to hold their Sports

Days without parents. This is largely due to the

complications of everyone on site would have to fill in

a COVID- 19 form and we would have to monitor social

distancing and these issues alone make it unmanageable

on what is normally a hectic day. This is very

disappointing as we know this is always a great

community event however we are trying to ensure the

children still have the opportunity to participate. Should

anything change we will advise the community as soon as

possible. The canteen will be selling orders but we are

unable to have a sausage sizzle or volunteers to sell cakes

etc as we normally do.

We will have to assess all other scheduled events as they

get closer and follow Department and SA Health

directives and advice.

Room 10 How To Make A 3D Frog

Writing a Procedure Room 10 students have been learning how to write a procedure. They used the correct structure of this text type and identified verbs and nouns when writing. This learning was enhanced by using SeeSaw to digitalise their work. Students learned to:

upload relevant pictures into SeeSaw

take photographs of their own work and add it to

SeeSaw

correctly order photographs

lock photographs into place

add related text to their work

lay work out digitally so it is easy to read

save work as a draft

ask a friend to check their work

reflect on their work to ensure all criteria are met

submit work when finished

help a friend with a problem (if needed)

"Excellence and Care"

Students took photographs of their drawings of the Frog Life

Cycle, inserted them into See-Saw and added labels.

During Art lessons, students learned how to sketch a realistic frog.
