From the Principal Term 3 Week 4 2021
After a turbulent first week or so at school, it has been wonderful to
have the students back in class and linking in to their learning. Thank
you to parents for dropping off students at the gate rather than
coming into the school grounds unless necessary. Thank you for your
support and the time you have taken to set your children up for
success at school.
We look forward to having parents back on site as soon as the COVID
restrictions allow it. Until then, please remember to keep and eye out
for DOJO messages and the newsletter as we’ll endeavour to keep
you up to date with any changes.
We have our camp happening towards the end of this term! Notes
have come home this week outlining costs, activities and behavioural
expectations. It is important that students make choices at school that
show they can be safe, be kind and work hard as well as listen to and
follow instructions. We’ll be busy on camp moving between activities
and locations and it’s important that students on camp get the
opportunity to engage in these activities. The behaviour expectations
on camp are no different to what is expected at school. Please take
some time to speak to your child about the Behaviour Expectations
form, sign it and return it to school. I am hopeful that all Yr 2-7
students will be able to attend camp. If there are any concerns, we will
contact the individual student’s family.
When parents are able to come back onto school grounds, we are
hoping to invite everyone to the opening of our Harmony Garden.
Over the last two years, students have worked on designs and been See more art on page 2
involved in applying for funding. We have been successful in
accessing a $500 grant and there has been a lot of work going on in
the garden. At the moment we are painting bench seats and planting
in the area. Leanne and Brenton are working with students during
Soft Start and lunchtimes so that everyone is involved in creating the DIARY DATES
Harmony Garden area. It’s looking impressive so far!

Yr 4-7 ART
As part of our Pop Art Unit the UP Class have been learning about art
appreciation, colour and shape theory and various art techniques.
Last Friday our task was to create a Warhol inspired Still Life. The
class did an amazing job of choosing an appropriate image,
sketching and shading the image and then using torn paper and
contact to colour the pictures. The brief was to choose colours
thoughtfully from the colour wheel and to be able to explain the
Andy Warhol choices (complementary, contrasting etc.) The big reveal of the art
pieces when the students turned the contact over to see what the art
piece looked like was fantastic, the students were rightfully very
proud of these creative final products.
Jeans for Genes Day! Jeans for Genes Day - It was
great to see so much denim &
blue in our school last Friday!
Each day last week we learnt
about a different childhood
genetic disease or disorder.
What some kids have to deal
with is truly heartbreaking.
Thanks to everyone who helped
raise money to help support
children with these life altering
genetic disorders. Well done
Moorook Primary School!!
Book Week 2021
We will be celebrating Book Week in Week 6.
Our annual dress-up parade will be on
Tuesday 24th August. The theme is:
“OLD WORLDS, NEW WORLDS, OTHER
WORLDS”
Old World—Old fashioned clothing from
times gone by...?
New Worlds— Something to do with the
future, space, cyber space...?
Other Worlds—Characters from stories who
venture into make believe places... Alice in
Wonderland, Harry Potter, Peter Pan….?
Dressing up as a favourite book character is
fine also.
