Year 1 Assembly Presentation

The year one neighbourhood will be presenting their inquiry in assembly next week on Tuesday 5th March at 9am.

Students will be presenting what they have learned about what they play?, where they play? and what is play? This will be a great opportunity to see what your child has been learning about and what we are proud of as a neighbourhood.

Hope to see you there!

Thank you parent helpers!

A big thank you to Anna, Rob and Giuliana for your help on Monday morning. We battled the heat but it was so nice to have some new faces in the neighbourhood and support for small groups. Your help is much appreciated.

CALL FOR PARENT REPRESENTATIVES

Neighbourhood Parent Reps

We are looking for 3-4 parents from each neighbourhood to volunteer as parent reps for 2013. 

The role of parent reps is to encourage and co-ordinate parent involvement in the educational and social activities of the school in collaboration with the neighbourhood teachers. 

If you are interested, please speak to the teachers in your child’s neighbourhood by Wednesday 27 February.

-Angela Palombo On behalf of the Community Relations Sub-Committee

Library access

Dear parents,
In regards to library borrowing this year, the year one neighbourhood is fortunate to have special access to the library and will be using that space during the day a few times a week. We are in the process of negotiating the activities that will be performed in the space as well as making use of three University High students that are now volunteering their assistance every Thursday. This means that at the moment we have not set a specific time where library books are borrowed. We suggest that if your child has a library bag, they can keep it in their school bag or their locker and we will keep you updated on any new routines that will be set in place.

Stop Motion Film Making - Behind the Scenes

These videos will give you an idea of what students are doing when they are making stop motion films. They usually work in pairs so they have to communicate. One person is the 'animator' and the other is the 'cameraman'. It is a slow process but students have found that the results are very effective.
