Our classes B11 and D13 had a wonderful time when we went on Camp to Wirraway Homestead. The children tried a whole range of new, adventurous activities and had the chance to bond and make new friendships. One of the absolute favourite activities was the horse riding and grooming. The children were very lucky to spend a lot of time with the horses, learning many new skills. We decided a fun way to remember our time at Wirraway would be to create a cartoon of camp highlights. Here are a few of our cartoons.

We had such a great time at our Wirraway camp and the children were so impressive! They showed a real sense of adventure and positivity to overcome any nervousness they felt to try new and challenging things. A huge thank you goes out to the dads (Andrew Farn, Dave Hodgson and Andre Rickers) for being such an enormous help!
Here are just a few pics to get started. We will put together a slide show of our whole time at camp and if you are interested in getting a copy we will send a reminder home with the children to bring in a USB once the slide show is ready.
Well done to the students, you were all AMAZING!!

Over the year our class has been participating in regular Circle Time sessions. This is a time where the students can share their successes and can support each other to solve any social issues that might arise in a safe environment. At the end of each session we work on team-building games which the children love! Here was a good one we did recently.
In groups the children had to keep the balloon in the air for as long as possible without letting go of each others hands. It was fun to watch as each group problem-solved to find better and better ways of keeping the balloon in the air.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome back to term 4 and what a term it will be! This is always a busy time and I’m sure with our upcoming camp in Week 4 and all the exciting school events planned, it will fly past before we know it.
The children have set learning and behaviour goals in order to ensure that they have a successful term, ready to move up to Year 6 in 2017. I encourage you to communicate with your child about their goals and double check that they start the term well with homework routines and diary organisation.
Here is a list of dates for this term’s up coming events:
Saturday 29th Oct – Quiz Night
Monday 7th to Wednesday 9th Nov – School Camp
Thursday 10th Nov – Music is Fun
Friday 18th Nov – Sports Expo
Friday 18th Nov – School Disco
Thursday 24th Nov – Christmas Programme
Friday 25th Nov – Gala Day
Wednesday 7th Dec – Craigburn’s Got Talent
Monday 12th Dec – Celebration Night
Friday 16th Dec – Early Dismissal 12:30
We are still looking for parent helpers with a DCSI screening check to assist with camp supervision. Please let us know if you are able to help and please return camp notes ASAP.
Notes have gone out regarding the Music is Fun concert Thursday 10th Nov – 11:35 am to 12:45pm. Please return notes as quickly as possible. Parents are welcome to attend the concert.
I have posted our Term 4 class overview below and I will send out more information about our Camp shortly.
Kind Regards,
Tamsar Bellette

We had a wonderful day at the Living Kuarna Cultural Centre where the children learnt about traditional Aboriginal culture, the importance of different plants, animals and water ways. We were also very lucky to learn about indigenous music through an amazing didgeridoo demonstration. The children conducted themselves beautifully and showed respect and courtesy. We were very lucky to have a beautiful sunny day!
