Time Capsule Reveal
On Sunday, a seemingly odd day for school, students returned to their place of learning from 12:00 – 2:30 for the Time Capsule Reveal!!!
The original time capsule includes some of the following …. photos of us with our buddies, our favourite HT memories, a signed school t-shirt, a signed collage, a class photo, a book of special people, a book of careers and their fav memories and the preps added a book of photos and drawings of them doing their future careers.
Here are some awesome photos of this magnificent milestone.

The Book Fair was a huge success!

Enchanted Maze Garden
On Thursday 3rd of November we went on an excursion to the Enchanted Adventures. This was part of our learning in literacy & inquiry about bridges.
We got to go on the tube slide and it was really fun because there was a big drop. We also went on a rope playground called a Sky Scramble. It was exciting because you were above the ground. We went in small groups through the mazes. We had to find our way out of the mazes, which had some different types of bridges.
We also got to cross some bridges like the canopy walk, which was a suspension bridge.
We had the best time because
the weather was good and we got to experience new things.

THE BOOK FAIR IS HERE!
The children were soooo excited to come to the Book Fair! 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 at the top) 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; write the receipt number on the back of the wish list. This year we are also accepting cash payments. Give the wish list to your child to bring back to school and I can then send the items home. If there are any items that parents would like to purchase as gifts, or for any queries please email me at whoneysett@htws.catholic.edu.au (or call the school after 2pm each day) and I can make arrangements for you to pick them up. Some of the more popular items may sell out quickly, so they will be placed on backorder and sent home ASAP! Thank you for your support!

Year 3 Enchanted Adventure
On Thursday, Year 3 set off to Enchanted Adventure as part of our unit on bridges.
We had so much fun exploring the canopy walk that had wobbly wooden and mesh bridges.
We also saw concrete and pebble bridges in the amazing mazes.
Though most of all we loved the tube sliding, where we also explored force by sliding very fast down plastic tubing which was like a bridge.
We had a fantastic day exploring different types of bridges and how they can be used in something so fun!!!
