Grandparents Day

We will be having a "Grandparents and Special Friends" day on 27th November. The children will be making invitations and planning some activities to share with the visitors.

Myuna Farm

The children had a fantastic day at Myuna Farm. They fed and patted animals, saw newly hatched emus, explored the wetlands, watched a goat being milked amongst other experiences.

Footsteps

The children had great fun at Footsteps. They learnt 5 dances, Rockin' Robin, The Jive, Monster Mash, Walk the Dinosaur and The Lion King. The cutest moment was watching them invite each other to dance the Jive.

Term 4

Welcome to the final term for 2009.

We have a very busy term coming up. Some of the activities planned are The Footsteps Dance comany. The children had their first session today and were taught a dance to Rockin' Robin. The children had a lot of fun whilst at the same time getting some exercise.

Our major topic this term is Farms and Farm animals. Some of the investgations will be:- different types of farms, why we have farms and how animals are looked after. Later in October we will be having an excursion to Myuna Farm. The notice will go home this week.

Swimming is coming up in November. This year we are trying a new program. There will be one lesson a week for 5 weeks and then an intensive week where the children will go each day.

All schools in Victoria are required to assess the children in Prep-2 using the new Online English Interview. This will assess the children's reading, writing and speaking and listening skills. We will commence the assessments in late October.

Drama Workshop

The Drama Workshop was a lot of fun. Some of the animals were caterpillars crawling, cicadas buzzing, butterflies flitting around, spiders spinning webs, birds swooping and worms wiggling.
