Last week we replanted some of our vegetable gardens. A
group of children planted capsicum, chilli
We have noticed a big interest forming in vehicles, we think
it might be due to Brandon and Tom’s love of motorbikes and Dianne’s never
ending love of V8s. Because we have been asked so many questions, the adults
have spent time demonstrating some functions of the vehicles and explaining how
different things work.
In the SAC we have been working on different gymnastic
skills. We’ve been using the cushioned mats, and working on cartwheels, flips,
twists and more.
Monday October the 31st is a pupil free day. So
don’t forget to book in the kids for OSHC. We will be having a day of clay
making. We have already had a couple of trial runs making bowls that were
printed with ink.
We have been lucky to have the table-tennis set up in the SAC.
While many weren’t sure of the rules, they soon developed their own. We love to
see when this happens, because it normally means that they are discussing what
is fair for everyone.
We are back working on long-jump! After many (MANY) requests
we are back recording scores and video-taping efforts, so that they can be
played back for learning.
We’ve been very pleased to see that students are starting to
take advantage of our staff when doing homework. As some of you may know
Damian, Maya and Sarah are all pre-service teachers and are at the end of their
degrees. They love helping out with homework and enjoy practising their skills.
We are asked to help with spelling words, research projects and reading, but we
are quite apt at maths and other areas.
Lots of our children have been playing board games and card
games recently. Yes. Fluxx is back!!!
Strawberry Fields For Ever!
We are all so excited for Strawberry Fair on Saturday the 29th!
OSHC is responsible for the cold drinks and are one of the Trail Bag stops. We
would like to say a huge thank you to all the families and kids that helped us
out, lugging big boxes of soft drinks, constructing the staff and helping to
make signs. We were lucky to have some former Eden Hills Primary students come
and visit and lend a hand. It is always lovely when people visit and we get to
see what they are up to now.
A word from Tas:
On the 29th of October we are having Strawberry
Fair. There will be lots of strawberries…of course!
Well if you go down to the henna stall, they’re wicked
artists and will be waiting for you there!
In the wild plant stall, there will be cool pet rocks and
plants for you to buy and enjoy. Time to make your garden green!
Don’t forget to go to the dog hill, netball court and the
buddy bench to see our amazing buskers perform. Bring some money; those acts
are worth every dollar!
So come to the Strawberry Fair, from 9am until 3 pm and consider
taking the train, parking is very cramped. See you there!
