Term 1 Week 8, 2019
Student success through an innovative quality education.
SAY YES TO RESPECT
On Friday we had a focus on respecting each other. We discovered that when you are
respectful everyone is happier.We all have a responsibility to ourselves and others to
understand how they are feeling, what they are doing is important to them as well if we
are happy then we are more likely to respect others.
Because we came dressed in green, not only because St Patrick’s day was Sunday. It
gave everyone a chance to dress as they felt
comfortable and for us to accept their choices.
We will continue to promote respect as the
year progresses.

LEARNING WITH MS STURMAN
This week learning has been focused on our local culture with speeches being written for the public speaking aspect
of our learning. This has linked in with our STEM unit, KaPOW learning as well as multiculturalism with an Aboriginal
perspective.
Ms Rogers is assisting in the maths area of
learning, this has been interrupted with the
KaPOW sessions which enhance maths and
LEARNING WITH MR GORDON
expands our understanding of the Aboriginal
perspective of our environment through art.
Last week and this week in Mr Gordon’s class
we have had Mrs Rogers our prac student from
CSU teaching us about descriptive writing for
speeches and editing our work. We are enjoy-
ing learning with Mrs Rogers as she has taught
the class a new drama game to help them role
play.
Students are pretending they are sitting on a
bus and pretending that they are a person who
just got on the bus, and the students are to
have a conversation in character. All students
enjoyed the persona’s they played. We look
forward to the next three weeks with
Ms Rogers.
This week, we have had people come from the Wagga Wagga
Art Gallery to present the Kids and Print Outreach Workshop
(KAPOW). The students are learning about the skills for printing
and the different types of printing. Students were able to take
turns using a printing press and experimented with printing
using plates. There were some interesting designs.
LEARNING WITH MRS D The big highlight for this is week are the KaPOW art workshops. In yesterday’s session the children were very excited to be working on art for all of the morning! The instructors from the art gallery showed and discussed with us, an aboriginal artwork and then we began constructing our own. The tearing of the paper was a bit tricky but we all did a great job. The children were very interested in the press and once we had inked up our images we all got a chance to turn the press. Our prints were amazing. The vegie garden is coming to life and the vegies are beginning to flourish. Our measurement activity with the tomatoes is providing us with some interesting results Table of measurements Hopefully we may soon be harvesting some tomatoes, lettuce and basil to make some yummy salads.
