Australia Crisis

14th January 2020
Both children and staff are very aware of what has been happening in Australia concerning the bushfires. The School Government have come up with a fundraising idea to raise money to help all the animals that have been burned or injured. The WWF-Australia say that it has been estimated that around 1.25 billion animals have been killed across Australia to date. This includes thousands of koalas and other iconic species such as kangaroos, wallabies, kookaburras, cockatoos and honeyeaters burnt alive, and many thousands more injured and homeless. For more information visit https://www.wwf.org.au/get-involved/bushfire-emergency#gs.rrws96.
As a school, we are planning to walk the equivalent of the distance from Sydney to Canberra, which is 288 km or as close to this as possible across next week. We will be collecting donations on Friday 24th where we will see if we can fill an outline of Australia.
We really would appreciate the support and keep your eyes peeled for updates on our school blog.
Thank you,
The School Government

Happy New Year!
Thank-you for the gifts we received at Christmas its was very kind of you.
We made it to the end of the first week and have all settled back into the routine; teachers included.
I hope you all got the Curriculum letter and noticed its Traditional Tales this term. If you have any books at home with this theme we would love to read them in school.
Please fine a Schofield Sims number book in your child's bag. Have fun with this do this practically with your child if the don't understand the concepts.
Putting numbers 8 3 6 in order will only make sense if your child can see the different values in their head first. You could get out objects to represent these numbers so your child can see clearly each value.
A number/phonics workshop will take place on Monday 20th January 3-3-30 pm.
Keep you the reading.
Thank-you for your support at home.

Today, we have been exploring the nursery rhyme, Humpty Dumpty. We used the art technique of printing to make a Humpty Dumpty out of paint and wool, we cut out Humpty's body parts then stuck them on a wall and used different vegetables to create a Humpty Dumpty scene. What a cracking day we all have had!

Christmas activities and lunch

Today we have had another busy day! This morning, we had a special delivery from the North Pole! Santa had replied to our postcards we sent him last Wednesday.
Also, we watched the year 3 and 4 dress rehearsal then did lots of Christmas activities. We coloured then cut out paper chains, completed a phonic word challenge and made the BeeBots move to different Christmas pictures.
At lunchtime, we all went up together, including Mrs Hemingway and Miss Hemingway, and had our Christmas dinners. One child said "It feels like Christmas already because we are all eating as a family!" They we all so yummy! Thank you to all lunchtime staff for making it so special.
After, we performed our Christmas production of Hey Ewe! for the last time. All the children were amazing!
What a fab-yule-lous time we all had today! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year.
