This week:

Homework

Reports

5 Lands Walk

Homework

At the beginning of the year we made some changes to how we manage homework based on survey feedback and

research evidence. Put simply, we want all children to read at home every day and use Mathletics for Maths practice.

Children who are not yet independent readers, take home books at their level and we want you to listen to them read

these books for practice.

We would also love you to read to your child. Our school

library and the local library have a wide selection of quality literature that provides a great opportunity for you to read

and talk about books. By reading to your child AND talking about the book you can enhance language and vocabulary

development, improve comprehension and enjoy quality time together.

Research conducted by the Victorian education department has demonstrated that “the frequency of reading to

children at a young age has a direct causal effect on their schooling outcomes regardless of their family background

and home environment”.

Take the opportunity in the coming school holidays to stock

up on some great books and snuggle up in a warm house with a hot chocolate and a book – can’t think of a better

way to enjoy homework!!

Central Coast Dance Festival

Tonight I head out to the Laycock Street Theatre to watch

the Stage 2 dance group do their thing, and tomorrow night it’s Stage 3. Good luck everyone – I know you’ll have fun

and do us proud.

Mrs Hardy and I saw our kinder dance group last Tuesday

night and they were awesome! They opened the show and were an absolute delight to watch. Well done Mrs Fell, kids

and parents – what a team!

Reports

School reports go out on the last day of school next week, 26 June.

If your child will not be at school on this day and you would

like the report mailed to you, please provide a stamped,

self-addressed A4 sized envelope by 25 June to the office. Reports will not be handed out earlier.

5 Lands Walk

This term our students have been working on 1500 decorations that participants in the 5 Lands Walk will use to

decorate the path from MacMasters Beach to Copacabana

on Saturday.

The decorations, that take inspiration from the Indian ethnic community, are colourful and very symbolic of the

theme of the event – Connecting Communities.

Cross your fingers for fine weather and come along to see

our dance groups, choir and Aboriginal dancers of the Possum Pack who will be performing at multiple venues on

the day! Please come along to support them and share in the fun and excitement of this great community event.

Hope you had a great week at our great school. Enjoy the walk from Macs to Copa on Saturday – take a

brolly just in case!

1E Newsletter

1E have been working on using descriptive words in

their writing. Here are some stories and artworks about

the book Rain Dance.

The Rain Dance is about the hot, blazing, sticky, humid and

disgusting desert that a family lived in waiting for rain and

fresh water to drink. After a long time there was a cold fresh

breeze with some dark grey clouds on top of the sky. The

blazing sun shines on top of the tiny town.

By Emily

Rain Dance is about rain finally coming to the desert. The

scratches along the deep cracked sand and dust flow. The girl

is waiting for rain to come. Finally the wet rain filled the dark,

dusty ground with cold, wet and fresh water. The great

swirling sand was the start of the rain.

By Jarryd

Rain Dance is a story about people that live in a hot place

where the blazing sun makes the crispy sand burning hot. The

Dad went to the bank so they can keep their home. The rain

finally comes after two years. They were relieved that they

could keep their home and get some rain.

By Keeley

Rain Dance is about the hard breaking sand and crashing

wind. The girl was dancing to the crashing, thundering

lightning. The wind was shaking wildness and madness. The

rain is striking and thunder is rolling down her cheeks and

lightning bolts steam cracking sand with burning lava in

hearts.

By Abbie
