Teaching children to be cybersafe will help them to engage with the online world safely, responsibly and discerningly and can assist to protect them from online risks.

Sometimes children are faced with online situations that they simply don’t know how to handle. As a school we recognise the importance of Cyber Safety education. Therefore, children are taught the knowledge and skills they need to prevent cyberbullying, protect their personal information and how to deal with inappropriate images or behaviours they see online.

To complement the Cyber Safety education that we currently teach at school, Shannon Mullavey has organised sessions with Inform & Empower, who presented to parents earlier this year. Rather than wait until we can conduct these sessions onsite with the students, they will now be held Online. We require students to attend the Incursion session designated to their level. Teachers have built the Cyber Safety Sessions into the student’s learning next week (see Learning Grids).

Online Cyber Safety Sessions Monday September 13

• 9.30 to 10.50 am – Years 5 & 6 – 80 min
• 11.40 am to 1.00 pm – Years 3 & 4 – 80 min
• 2.00 pm to 2.45 pm – Preps, 1’s & 2’s – 45 min (Yes Preps can attend as well)

COST: FREE (covered by School Budget)

Parents, where possible, are asked to watch the Online Cyber Safety Session with their child/ren. We encourage a family discussion after the session to reinforce the learning that the children have been involved in.

Year Two students have worked hard to write some amazing Personal and Imaginative Narratives. Here are some students published writing! They have started their writing with a sizzling start and they have used some amazing “WOW” words to help describe the character and setting.
We hope you enjoy reading them.

Wonderful Grade One artists created cute as a button birds this week.  They were encouraged to use one colour for the bird and the complimentary colour as the background. They did a super job, sometimes the rainbow calls and it’s hard to confine yourself to two colours and that’s the benefit of being an artist, there are no rules. I love them all.

It’s lovely to see our families celebrating Father’s Day in their own unique way during lockdown!

Grade Two students created some amazing monsters to eat away their worries.

They did a wonderful job  creating patterned paper and then drawing and cutting out

Symmetrical monsters.

Father’s Day is a day for people to show their appreciation for fathers, grandfathers and father figures. Father figures may include stepfathers, fathers-in-law, guardians (e.g. foster parents), and family friends. This special day reminds us how much we love our fathers, grandfathers and those who are like fathers to us. We take the opportunity to say THANK YOU for all they do for us.

Below is the Prayer Service I have put together for Father’s Day. Some teachers have used this Prayer Service with their classes. Families are also encouraged to pray together as a family using the Prayer Service to recognise and pray for the fathers, grandfathers and father figures in their lives.

Grade Prep students created some fabulous Colour Feeling Monsters. These are super cute.

 

 After listening to the story ‘The Very Hungry Worry Monster’ the marvellous Grade One artists created Symmetrical Monsters using a folded paper technique. Very proud of their cutting skills and their wonderful monsters.

It has been another fun week in Italian/Performing Arts! The Prep students learnt a new chant called Signor Pollice – Mr Thumb. They recorded themselves saying the chant and doing the actions.
