Book Week, Prep style

We had three dragons, two Matildas and one very determined Gruffalo in the parade on Friday. Thank you to every family who stayed up late with a hot glue gun. Back in class we each read our costume book to a buddy from Year 5, and a few of us were brave enough to read it to the whole room.

Who lives in our trees?

Our inquiry this term has been the birds around the school. We counted magpies at lunch for two weeks (the record is eleven) and learned that the wattlebird is the noisy one near the canteen. The drawings are going up in the library next week, so come and have a look at pick-up.

Three days on the Bellarine

Camp was cold, windy and one of the best we have had. We canoed the inlet on day two, found a crab the size of a hand in the rock pools, and nobody lost a shoe in the mud, which may be a camp first. Thank you to the parents who drove and to Mr Dwyer for the late-night fire talk.

Kitchen garden

Broad beans are in

The working bee got the new beds mulched and the Year 1s planted the broad beans the following Monday. Silverbeet is ready to pick, so expect it in the canteen soon. If you have spare seedlings or a bag of manure, the gate by the garden shed is open before school.

From the canteen

Zucchini and cheese muffins

Two cups self-raising flour, one grated zucchini, one cup grated cheese, one egg, one cup milk and a big pinch of salt. Mix, spoon into a muffin tray and bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. These sold out by recess on Thursday.

Drawing of the week

Our school, by Ava

Ava drew the school on a sunny day with everyone holding hands. She says the rainbow was there when she arrived on Monday.

Joke of the week

Why did the teacher wear sunglasses? Because her class was so bright.

Year 2

Shout out

Twenty-two families turned up on a grey Saturday and got the garden, the court lines and the sandpit done by lunchtime. The morning tea was excellent too.
