                                                             Autumn fires are glowing
                                                           in hearth and flower and tree.
                                                               I feel a deep warm fire
                                                               within the heart of me.
                                                               Gentle autumn mists
                                                               cool the red gold Sun.
                                                             Berries ripe and crimson
                                                              tell me Summer's done.
                                                             Autumn leaves are falling
                                                               gently to the ground,
                                                             but still that steady flame
                                                             bright within me is found.
                                                                    Sue Watson.

  To Nicky and family,

  Dear School Community,

  Last night the Annual General Meeting was held for the Mansfield Rudolf Steiner School and Kindergarten Incorporated. The meeting was well
  attended by 31 association members. At the meeting, the Annual Report for 2021(access the report here MRSSK annual report 2021 or at menu
  in the footer of the school website) was tabled, and four vacant Governance Committee positions were filled by Tim Ross (re-elected), Scott
  Ersvaer (re-elected), Nicole Nye and Janette White. Together with current serving members Sarah Lieber and John Bowen, the Governance
  Committee will select the President, Deputy President, Secretary and Treasurer. We would like to thank former members, Catherine Yencken, Ingrid
  Ueno and Rosemary Brennan for their service on the Governance Committee during the last 12 months.

I would like to thank the previous and incoming Governance Committee for their dedicated and professional approach. These volunteer positions
   carry significant responsibility and are vital to the success of our school.

   It is fantastic to have students back in the classroom, but we continue to manage student and staff absences in the wake of COVID-19 infections and
   increasing cases of influenza. In the case of staff, we are required to be flexible in covering absences. This requires changes to class timetables and
   activities from time to time. We ask that you continue to be conservative in the management of illness in your children and keep them home if they
   are unwell to lessen the impact on the wider community.

   Despite a backdrop of illness, there are still myriad wonderful things happening on and off-campus. The Year 10’s had a wonderful time sailing the
   Whitsundays, there was the joy of NAPLAN, solo concert rehearsals, performances by students at the AGM and Information Day, numerous school
   tours and interest for prospective students, a trip to the Melbourne Symphony, IB Information Night and of course all the engaging and inspiring
   lessons and activities that the students have as part of their regular day at Mansfield Steiner School.
   I hope this message finds you well. I look forward to seeing you at one of our solo concerts this week.

MORNING STAR KINDERGARTEN
                                                         We have been talking about our friend Crooked Gnome who likes to visit the Kinder whilst the
                                                         warm rays from Father sun are still about. Crooked Gnome brings colours from the earth for us to
                                                         dye our winter singlets ready to wear each day in the cooler months. Will the basket be waiting
                                                         for the children to discover this coming week?

                                                         Nimble fingers will practice fine motor skills as we begin our next handwork project with the
                                                         Echidnas, sewing little stitches as diver dolphin dives in through the waves and out through the
                                                         waves. The Honeybees will begin work on their Pom poms using the colours we see in nature as
                                                         the seasons change.

                                                         Look out, look out, Jack Frost is about! The Rosa Mundi garden has been full of wonder with our
                                                         first autumn frost leaving behind frozen mud cupcakes in our outdoor kitchen, and icy lakes in our
                                                         wheelbarrows!

                                                         Rosa Mundi children have been delighting in the arrival of mushrooms all over the school, great
                                                         and small, and singing songs of the fairies and gnomes who live among them.

                                                         This week we will begin marking Reconciliation Action Week, hearing traditional Taungurung
                                                         stories and joining the Primary students at a special assembly to acknowledge Mabo Day.

                                                         HEAD LICE ALERT
                                                         It has come to our attention that there is an outbreak of head lice in Early Childhood. Please
                                                         examine your child’s hair for any of the signs of head lice and take the necessary steps to treat
                                                         and eliminate the problem. Your child can return to school a day after treatment has
                                                         commenced.

                                                      1. Check for lice – the whole family!
                                                      2. If lice or eggs (nits) are found treat hair with one of the many natural (or medicated) headlice
                                                         treatments available from your local chemist or health shop.
                                                      3. Always apply the treatment on dry hair.
                                                      4. Remove lice and eggs by using metal headlice comb
                                                      5. Treat again once per week for 2-3 weeks.
                                                      6. Wash bed linen and clothes in warm water to prevent re-infestation.
                                                      7. You can use a shampoo with a few drops of Eucalyptus, Lavender and Teatree essential oils
                                                         added as a preventative measure after successfully treating the hair.

                                                         If all families are pro-active and we all work promptly to check and treat each week
                                                         reinfestation will be minimal. Thank you.

CLASS ONE
Class One will begin a new Mathematics Main Lesson this week introducing counting patterns through stories. They will begin to discover ten friends and
numbers within numbers such as 2 and 3 make 5 and so do 4 and 1.

We welcome Felicia Gomez to our classroom as a student teacher for the next 4 weeks and look forward to working with her.

                                                   Class Two have just finished their epic Celtic Dragon Myth Main Lesson. This week they begin a
                                                   new Main Lesson hearing the adventures of Tomten, a contented gnome who lives deep in the
                                                   forest with his friends Gozinta, Setza, Minus and Adi.

                                                   We are also exploring the value of numbers, looking at the position each digit holds and how
                                                   much that digit is then worth.

                                                   isolation, to begin rehearsing their class play, Joseph the Dreamer. We have incorporated songs
                                                   and dances from our earlier Creation and Hebrew Stories Main Lessons and have added some
                                                   challenging floor patters to move the class on and off the stage. The two final weeks of rehearsal
                                                   once Suz returns will be full of the class play and we look forward to performing it on June 2nd at
                                                   12pm and 7pm.

                                                   Our final Main Lesson for Term 2 will move, for the first time towards breaking a whole number
                                                   into smaller parts. We will begin with the concept of time - not only analog time but the concept of
                                                   time over human history and earth history.

                                                   This week we start a new Main Lesson – our second on Fractions for the year. We will be looking
                                                   at adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators, probably the most complex Maths
                                                   they have come across yet.
                                                   We also have the Solo Concert on Wednesday which students have been busily practicing for.

On Thursday Classes 3,4,5 and 6 travelled to Melbourne to see the MSO play Carnival of The Animals.
It was amazing. They didn’t just play music, they also used puppets to act out the whole thing. There were turtles, tigers, koalas and
lots of other animals. My favourite animal was the koala. Audrey

It was an amazing effort because they didn’t just have the MSO playing – they also had puppeteers acting out Australian animals. The
orchestra sounded incredible with only approximately thirty people playing instruments. The show went for about 45 minutes and we
enjoyed every minute of it. It was amazing to hear the bits where it got loud when it was dangerous, intense or if there were scary bits,
or softly for peaceful, and upbeat for happy and exciting. Someone cut out 2500 fish just for the under-water scene. Lara

It was so cool, and they didn’t just play violin, viola and cello – they did a puppet play. My favourite animal was either the elephant or
the wolf or the koala. After the MSO we went to the Melbourne Museum to look at the bugs and beetles. It smelt awful but it was cool
because there were live spiders. Then we went to Victoria Market. We were going to the donut shop, but they were sold out, so we got

some churros instead. Hamish

After the MSO Class 3 went to the Jewish temple, Class 5 went to the Hare Krishna temple, Class 6 did city stuff (looked at shops and
street art) and Class 4 went to the Museum to see big bugs like a Mexican salmon pink tarantula, dung beetles, ants (and lots of ‘em),
and heaps of stick insects. It was awesome!! Class four also went to the Victoria Market and there were stinky durians. There was a
doughnut store, but it was closed so we got churros and chocolate sauce. On the way back Class 4 sang ABC twinkle and Baby Shark.

                                                         CLASS FIVE
                                                         Class Five has continued to hear the stories of Ancient India from various sources, such as the
                                                         Bhagavad Gita. Our trip to Melbourne, which included a visit to the Hare Krishna Temple, was a
                                                         wonderful experience that brought the stories we have heard from our Ancient India Main Lesson
                                                         to the real world. The students were fortunate to be in the temple while they were worshiping the
                                                         deities and partook in the chanting of a Hare Krishna mantra. We were provided a healthy and
                                                         delicious (although slightly spicy) meal and were fortunate enough to have a tour with one of the
                                                         monks, Sevya.

                                                         The students will be performing their solo concerts this week and are busily practicing for the
                                                         concert.

                                                         We all had a wonderful day in Melbourne last week watching the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
                                                         performance of the Carnival of Animals. After the performance we wandered over to Fed Square
                                                         for a tour then walked up Hosier Lane to look at some street art followed by a visit to St Paul’s
                                                         Cathedral to observe the Gaia planet exhibition by Luke Jerram. The class also learnt about the
                                                         history of the church including the building, mosaics and the magnificent organ. We then
                                                         wandered up to the Bourke St Mall, Royal Arcade and then onto Melbourne Central with a visit to
                                                         Lego Land.

                                                         A big congratulations to all the Class Six participants in the local Primary schools cross-country
                                                         run last week. We had 5 place getters out of 11 runners and many others close on their heels.
                                                         Well done!

SECONDARY WEDNESDAY MORNING RUN
As a part of our preparation for the Cross Country this term, and to keep our bodies active and
moving as we head into winter, we will be running every Wednesday morning. The aim is to be
able to run consistently for up to 20 minutes. It breaks up the week’s main lesson classes and is
helpful for both our brains and bodies.

The emphasis is not on competition or logging times or distances, simply on being able to run for
20 minutes. The course is on the footpath up to Monkey Gully Rd and then turning around after
10mins to then run back again. Those who make it to the end turnaround point will enjoy a 3.8km
run.

All students have been reminded to wear activewear on Wednesdays.

SECONDARY YEAR 7

Year 7 have been introduced to Rene Decartes and the Cartesian Plane in the beginning of this
Main Lesson called Number and Algebra. We have plotted various points on the plane and talked
about the many and varied uses of this gridding system used throughout the world, from mapping
the earth to playing battleships with our friends. Moving forward we will explore negative
numbers, gradient, and discover the rule for a straight line.

SECONDARY YEAR 8

Year 8 take the plunge into Shakespeare for an extended Main Lesson, studying the playwright's
life and career in depth. This week has begun with looking at The Globe Theatre and how it came
to be, taking a virtual tour to appreciate the history behind the playhouse.

Students have also begun rehearsing for their own performance of 'The Taming of the Shrew',
one of Shakespeare's popular comedies with a storyline relevant to their stage of development.
It's a long road ahead but the results will be spectacular!

SECONDARY YEAR 9

                             In this age of high technological advancement, where more of than not things just work, it is easy
                             to take for granted – or forget entirely – how far modern society has progressed over the space of
                             two hundred years. In Year 9, we take the opportunity to step back into the advent of industrial
                             development and the radical changes that occurred during the height of the Industrial Revolution.

                             Students spent last week learning about inventions which shaped the way that manufacturing,
                             transportation, textiles, and farming functioned in 19th century Great Britain.

                             This week, we are delving into the sociopolitical changes that accompanied this, whilst also
                             choosing an element of technology used in everyday 21st century life to complete a “reverse
                             evolution” timeline profile on said item, exploring how far into the industrial past the roots of this
                             invention reach.

                             Whitsunday Sunset....
                             The Year 10’s have been having an awesome time in the Whitsunday’s, snorkeling, hiking, and of
                             course, learning how to sail. Their skipper, Tom, was with the school last year and he is a
                             fantastic, positive man that has given the students significant responsibility and guidance in terms
                             of learning to sail the mighty ‘PRIMA’. They have headed off on a croc tour today and seen some
                             big animals lurking in the dark water. They have four more days on the boat before heading on to
                             their host families and the Cairns Hinterland Steiner School. No doubt they will be ready for some
                             time apart after a long time in very close quarters.

                       IB Writing
                       This term in IB we are very keenly focusing on our writing. After shorter tasks, as well as a great deal of
                       oral sharing and presenting in Term 1, we are turning more intently toward honing our skills in building
                       extended written pieces. Effective language choices and the fluidity of our thoughts on the page are
                       aspects of written work the Year 11’s are paying particular attention to in their submissions each week.
                       This matches a focus on language and how it functions in Theory of Knowledge, the building of
                       extended analytical essays in Literature and constructing Paper 2 responses to conceptual questions in
                       Anthropology.
                       Through a combination of studying Chloe Hooper’s Tall Man, Fugard Athol’s Sizwe Bansi is Dead in
                       Literature and Sidney Mintz’ Sweetness and Power we are examining the legacies of colonisation and
                       the resulting systems of oppression for different peoples: Australia, South Africa, parts of the
                       Caribbean. These studies require us to closely consider how the position of the individual telling the
                       story affects how the information is told and received. We are comparing the nature of voices coming
                       from positions of from relative privilege, outside a particular lived experience of oppression, versus
                       those targeted by oppressive social, political and economic policies for generations.

                             seeing a live orchestra playing beautiful music.

                             Solo concerts are this week, Wednesday 25 May for students from Classes 3 & 4 and on
                             Thursday the 26 May for students from Classes 5 & 6. Both concerts begin at 7pm in Melliodora

FROM GARDEN TO PLATE
The Messenger - Mansfield Steiner School
Lovely cooking class with the Class Two today. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking the little
basket out to the kitchen garden to gather the greens for their pizza picture. They collected
almost all of the ingredients including edible flowers to create it.

Squeals of "This is the most beautiful pizza I've ever seen" and "Can I please have the corner
with the window on it!"
They all went off to play with full bellies and the cooks for the day felt very proud of themselves.
