<\/span>What a busy couple of weeks we have had.<\/span>

<\/span>Readathon<\/b><\/span>
On Thursday,  your child should have brought home a readathon card. We have discussed a reading goal for your child to complete each week as art of their readathon. Thank you for supporting your child with this by reading with them each and every night over the next two weeks. This is a great fundraiser for the PTA and is also highly beneficial for the children. <\/span>
The cards need to be returned to school on Friday 30th August. <\/span><\/b><\/span>
As part of this readathon, there will be a 'Dress Up Book Character Day 'on Friday 30th August. On this day, your child can come to school dressed as their favourite book character.<\/span><\/b><\/span>
Each child who returns their card, proving they have read<\/span> each night, will receive a<\/span> book mark. All of the returned cards will be put in to a<\/span> draw for each year level (Y0, Y1, Y2 etc) and the PTA will draw a<\/span> card from each level and that child will receive a book voucher at the school assembly. <\/span><\/b><\/span>

<\/span><\/b><\/span>Wearable Arts- Inquiry<\/b><\/span><\/span>
We are full steam ahead with our Innovation Topic exploring Wearable A<\/span><\/span>rts. Over the past week, the children have had the opportunity to view a variety of wearable arts, identifying how they have been made and their purpose. <\/span>We have had a go at making prototypes to see what it is like to make a wearable art on a smaller scale. This was VERY tricky for some!<\/span>

<\/div>The children have now created designs either individually or in groups for them to make over the next 2-3 weeks. We are trying to make this learning as sustainable as possible and do not want anyone buying any items<\/b>. We have a variety of materials for the children to use at school, however, your child may ask for some items to be provided from home.<\/span>
Here are some examples of the children's designs. We will be sharing these with you at a <\/span>Wearable Arts Evening in Week 7.<\/span>

<\/span>Pizza Makers<\/span><\/b><\/span>
It has been great to see the children learning how to prepare food safely when making pizzas. Here are our first group of pizza makers. They did a great job of cleaning and preparing the kitchen for pizza making, creating the dough and cleaning up the dishes at the end of the session. Well done team!<\/span><\/span>

Starting this week, the children in our team will be given recorder lessons on a Tuesday afternoon. Josie, one of our itinerant music teachers will be providing this instruction. Two home groups (Nick and Kate's) will have lessons with her this term, and Rowe and Paulette's home groups will have lessons with her in Term 4. We are really excited to be able to provide this opportunity for the children.<\/span><\/span>
