OUR CHILDREN GRANVILLE EAST PUBLIC SCHOOL

TERM 3 - WEEK 2 THURSDAY 27TH JULY 2017

Welcome to Term 3!

We are two weeks back from break—and straight into the hurley-burley of learning! I hope you all had a restful break and are ready for the challenges ahead.

Our School goals for the term are:

To deepen student skills in writing—especially the ability to craft texts by making deliberate choices to impact a reader;

To strengthen connections between students, teachers and families by deepening our learning conversations; and

To continue to teach and expect student self-regulation in learning.

What are your goals for the term??

1st ever Business Expo @ GEPS!

Earlier this week, Stage 3 students show-cased the businesses they had developed last term. The event was attended by teachers, students from other classes and parents.

Each business had a rationale, mission statement, advertising poster, video promotion and samples on display! It was a marvellous display of innovative thinking; business acumen; teamwork; and real-life learning. Congratulations to Stage 3—and looking forward to buying things next time!

Sydney Story Factory

Some Stage 3 students and parents met the Sydney Story Factory this week. They are running a journalism program with Ms Crawford’s writing group every Wednesday afternoon. What an opportunity—can’t wait to see the newspaper they develop!

And—still on Stage 3—our Year 6 T-shirts arrived this week. Don’t they look fabulous! Louise Reynolds, Principal

1/2B have been learning all about living things and the environments they live in. Last week of term 2, we had a great opportunity to explore

more learning about mini-beast from our travel bug incursion.

Students had the chance to have a closer look at the different kinds of mini-beasts and explore what they are like.

Blouza Hall Community and Conference Centre

This building has social significance, as a local cinema from 1948 until 1963 and since then has been adapted for use as a public hall for social and entertainment purposes.

The Australian Blouza Association was formed in 1954.
