problem solving, thinking

critically and creatively, act-

ing with integrity and empa-

thy, understanding them-

selves and others, collaborat-

ing and imagining to bring

ideas together and a strong

sense of self.

21st century education is a

change from what we our-

selves experienced but it is a

change that we welcome.

Ask yourself how developed

are your skills in these are-

as . I believe our little learn-

ers could teach us all many

valuable lessons and those

of us who are privileged to

share our days with them

reap the rewards.

Keep smiling!

Thank you to those family

and friends who shared our

Book Week/Education Week

celebration.

What a fabulous show of

support for Parker, Emily,

Phoebe, Charlotte, Amy and

Nick and for our award recip-

ients; Mrs Sue Lyons, Mrs

Gladys Lordanic, Mrs Pam

Lock, Mrs Tracey Worth, Mrs

Jenny Bullen, Mrs Beth Hig-

gins and Mrs Gail Callaghan.

Public recognition for the

support these community

members and staff offer our

school is an opportunity for

the children and I to show our

appreciation.

I know I say this every year

but I need to say it again….I

love Term 3. If you could see

our little learners so en-

grossed in their learning and

so determined to get better

each and every day you

would feel as Tracey and I

do. Ecstatic!

It really is the most exhilarat-

ing feeling to look at Parker,

Emily, Phoebe, Charlotte,

Amy and Nick’s faces and

hear them encouraging each

other as they work and to sit

with them as we review what

they have achieved.

So what kind of people do we

want our little learners to be?

In schools of today we need

to be future focused and rec-

ognise that school is part of a

much bigger picture. We want

our students to have a strong

knowledge base in key disci-

plines and to develop and

grow as a whole person.

They need skills, capabilities

and behaviours that they can

use within and beyond

school. These include

skills of communication,

Everyone has enjoyed shar-

ing the book The Day the

Crayons Quit . They are now

working on a multimodal text

using the Chatter Kids app

on the Ipads. This app allows

the students to record 30

seconds of information, take

a photo, animate the charac-

ter by giving it a mouth that

moves and type in text. Multi-

modal is exactly that, pre-

senting text in a variety of

forms. So far Parker, Emily,

Phoebe and Charlotte have

written down some very per-

suasive arguments as to why

their colour is over worked and

deserves a better deal. Nick

and Amy have completed

some great drawings and are

working on telling me their ide-

as. We look forward to showing

parents the completed ver-

sions, as well as creating a

concertina book with the writ-

ten forms.

Happy Birthday Mrs Lock

There was much excitement as the children made icing and then decorat-

ed Mrs Lock’s cake with frogs.

A special cake for a special friend and teacher.

Mrs Lock even managed to blow out all of her 9 candles.

My Special Day Out

On Tuesday Charlotte, Phoebe and I went to Lou’s house. We played with the puppies.

Lou had picked us up from school.

Amy - Kinder

On Tuesday we went to Ag-Quip. We waited in the car because daddy was paying the bills.

Mummy said “It will take five minutes to get to Ag-Quip. “ We finally got to Ag-Quip. We

jumped out of the car. We walked to the gate. First we saw some horses. Then I saw a

baby horse. I saw a big shed. Then we looked at motor bikes, one fit me! Then we saw

lots of fish. Blake wanted to see the trucks, but mum said no! I was getting hungry, lucky

mum packed us recess. I had a muesli bar. Then we looked at tractors. Then we went to

see some more stuff. We got new hats, they are made of straw. We got a new football. I

paid one dollar for a football.

Emily - Year 3

On Tuesday we went to Louie’s house. When we got to Louies we went straight to the pup-

pies. There used to be four puppies, some puppies went to new homes, some puppies

died. Three puppies stayed at Louies. We have our own puppies. Amy’s puppy is a girl

puppy, it is a fat puppy. Phoebe’s puppy is a little boy. My puppy is a little girl. Amy’s pup-

py is called Fat Fat. Phoebe’s puppy is called Tom Tom. My puppy is called Lilly.

Charlotte - Year 1

On Tuesday we went to Ag-Quip. We saw some fish.

Nick - Kinder

On the weekend we went to Sydney to Luna Park. Luna Park is at North Sydney. When we

got to Sydney we went straight to Luna Park. At Luna Park it was very busy because there

were hardly any car parks left. So we went around and around and then I found one be-

cause there was a car that was leaving. So we went around one more time because it takes

a while to get the other car’s seat belts on. They left and we got the car park and it was

hard to park in there. We got out and went to the elevator. When we got in there we

pressed the button and it took us up to Luna Park. We had to go in the line to get the

bands.
