BOOK FAIR NEWS
The Book Fair was a huge success!
The children had an exciting time looking at all the books and filling in their wish lists.
The total sales amounted to just over $4900!!
This equates to nearly $1600 worth of new resources for the library!
I am blown away by the generosity of parents and I want to say a huge thank you for supporting the book fair!
We are so happy to be in the art room and finishing off some awesome work we started months ago.
The students painted A3 paper creating patterns and textures using cardboard shapes. They made one from warm colours and one from cool colours. This week they created an artwork using collage and the painted paper.
You can see from the end results how committed to completing these the students were, I’m very proud of them for their focus and enthusiasm.
Back in Term 1, the Year 6 level participated in a unit called Smart Generation organised by the EACH program. We learnt about the impact alcohol can have on young bodies. Over this unit we also learnt about the brain sustainability and when our brain fully grows. This topic was supposed to last only 1 term but ended up lasting all four terms due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
We participated in role positions to act in a scenario of what could happen when there is peer pressure. We also made a slogan which was “First you take a drink and then the drink takes you” and we designed a logo which was voted on by our Year 6 level. Our Year 6 level created a Webinar to show our parents what we have learnt about Smart Generation and to show them our reflection videos from online learning. We spent a couple of days practicing our readings and presentation and when the day came it was a huge success!
We learnt a lot of things that could help us in the future and now we know what the responsible thing to do in situations that involve alcohol. A HUGE thank you to Mrs Smith, Mr D, Miss Tubby, Mrs Laming, and Mrs Johnson for all their efforts in teaching us this unit. Also, thank you to Mrs Whelan and Deborah from EACH for allowing us this amazing opportunity.

Wishing everyone an amazing and safe weekend!
Today we held a Remembrance Day Prayer Service to commemorate all the men and women that have served, fought and died in wars and conflicts over the years.
In our Prayer Service, we prayed for strength and guidance to commit ourselves to creating peace in our own world. We recognised that peace begins in our own families, classrooms, schools and communities. Remembrance Day remind us to pray for peace, to think about what we are doing as individuals, as a community and as a country to bring God’s peace into the world. This is a time when a believing community should once again turn towards prayer and towards ideals Jesus gave us in the Beatitudes. The school community was encouraged to live out our school motto to “Love One Another”.
The children were soooo excited to come to the Book Fair today! Some children will see it next Monday. Look out for your child/ren’s wish list in their school bag.
On their wish list you will see the item name, the price and the location (BC1 or table). BC or bookcase indicates which number bookcase the item/s are from.
Below you will see photos of all the bookcases (numbered) so that you can see what your child/ren would like to buy. There is no obligation to buy, however every purchase earns the school a commission, which allows us to purchase more resources for the library. Please use this link to make a purchase https://parentpayments.scholastic.com.au/BookFairs and write the receipt number on the back of the wish list. Your child can then bring this to school and I can then send the items purchased home. If there are any items that parents would like to purchase as gifts, please email me at whoneysett@htws.catholic.edu.au and I can make arrangements for you to pick up them up. Thank you for your suppport!

BOOK FAIR COMPETITION
To create some excitement around the book fair there will be a ‘GUESS THE NUMBER OF PAGES’ competition. There will be a few books bundled together, which each child will have the opportunity to guess. The winner will be the one whose guess is the closest. There will be a winner awarded from each year level, with each winner receiving a $10 voucher to purchase a book at the book fair. I will print off a class list for each class to record each child’s guess. The winners will be announced next Thursday or Friday just before the Book Fair starts!
Years P-2 will guess a bundle of quick fiction books.
Years 3-6 will guess a bundle of ‘Funny Kid’ books.
