Head of School’s Comment
Hello from the Great Aussie Bush Camp at Lake Macquarie. It has been a wonderful three days with our 3rd and 4th Class students. We have all been impressed with this new camp venue and look forward to returning next year. The students have had the opportunity to build deeper friendships and push themselves in personal and group challenges. The camp staff and our teachers have been extremely impressed with our students’ engagement, respect, and behaviour. They have been true ambassadors of our school.
Next week, we will see another opportunity for our students to extend and challenge themselves, at our school’s Athletics Carnival. It is a wonderful day with a range of sporting activities to test personal limits, as well as enjoy fun individual and group games. You are welcome to come for the entire day and are encouraged to join in our annual parent race!

Using their moon buggy research, our excited scientists planned their own individual moon buggy design then collaborated with their group to design one they will make together (starting next week!). Please keep collecting bottle caps at home as each group requires 8 of the same/similar cap to construct their moon buggy wheels. Small bottle caps only please (usually from fizzy drink or water bottles). Thank you.

This week in 4th Class…
The children were so excited to participate in the Shakespeare workshop on Monday. Joanna E, Violet’s mum, facilitated an action-packed session with many activities to build the children’s confidence, acting skills and ability to use Shakespearean language. We also looked at the plot and characters of Romeo and Juliet and discussed themes, including Shakespeare’s use of antithesis. The children had so much fun and developed a deeper understanding of our play. Thank you, Joanna!
In English this week, we practised reading fluency with our text, Storm Boy. We focused on the setting of the story and identified strong verbs and powerful adjectives used by the author. We also read a description of a storm and reflected on the way the text made us feel . We discussed the writer’s ability to engage the reader’s senses and even make the storm seem as though it is a character. In Maths we worked

Deputy Head of School’s Comment
On Thursday Lower 1st celebrated 100 days at school. It is quite extraordinary to reflect on how much development and learning has taken place in this relatively short period of time. The children show steadiness, focus and independence and have embraced both the School Values and the Pause very naturally. Their ability to sit quietly in events is commendable and was beautifully demonstrated in our Teacher’s Day Assembly this week. This is no small feat for 5- and 6-year-olds. Equally, they are confident and enthusiastic participants when required. Thursday was a wonderful opportunity for the children to celebrate this milestone with the rest of the school.

Head of School’s Comment
Next week, our 5th and 6th Class students head to Canberra and 3rd and 4th Class students will travel to the slightly warmer area of Lake Macquarie for their camp. Our older students have previous experience being away from home, however, for many of our 3rd Class students, this will be the longest time they have been away from their parents. There will be some natural nervousness to work through, yet it is a wonderful opportunity to meet this challenge in a safe and fun environment and develop independence and resilience.
