Greetings everybody. Wasn’t the Fete fantastic! I had the opportunity to speak with many of our school community as I wandered around and it is only fair to say WELL DONE to all of the people who organised, created stalls, sold items, counted money and gave our community a night to remember. As I wandered I was able to observe well oiled operations, selling food and drinks and also some amazing stalls with items unexpected. My immediate thoughts on seeing the cake stall was “there is no chance that all those cakes will get sold”. An hour and a half later – empty tables. Phenomenal. The second hand/white elephant stall was truly amazing too. Any number of good Christmas presents crossed my mind as I looked over all the donated items. And of course the talent show where careers were born…..

Well done everybody and thanks again for supporting the Morgan Street Fete.

P.R.O.U.D NEWS

Sun safe Morgies!

The weather is heating up again, and it is good

to see students are wearing their Morgan

Street bucket hats in the playground.

This is part of ‘playing safely and sensibly’,

which is one of our school rules.

Part of being ‘sun safe’, is to also make sure

you are wearing sunscreen and drink water

throughout the day.

If you need a water refill, you can fill your

water bottle up at the bubblers. The best time

for this is at lunchtime, so make sure you get

your water bottle ready before you go back to

class!

Life is busy in 3C - lots of

learning and lots of fun!

CHECK OUT THE CHICKEN IN 3C!

You might not know it, but just behind our classroom is a chicken coop where a rooster lives. When we are working quietly, he often likes to interrupt. He did this a lot when we were practising our poem for the

Eisteddfod. Mrs Calder would say ‘let’s practise that part again’ and she would count to three. Right on cue, the rooster would make a loud

cock a doodle do! right in the middle of it! We did not invite the

rooster to watch us perform at the Eisteddfod. We are proud to say we came second on that day. We spent our prize money by eating $25.00 of

hot chips from Rags. YUM!

We have become very good at working in groups in 3C. We have learnt to share our ideas and responses, and talk about what we have learned. Look

at us in action below!

New things we have been learning in 3C are: How to use bullet

points in writing.

Identifying key words

when reading texts. Team roles in science

lessons: Manager, Speaker, Director!

Reciting Poetry.

Watching B.T.N.

New techniques in art

with Mrs Loomes. Writing paragraphs

(like a boss!). Trading in maths. Making cross sections

of bean seeds in science.

Learning to use the

student portal in library lessons.

Alien maths - a game

to help us learn our times tables.

How to tell the time

using our classroom clock.

Getting lots of ‘D’s off

Mrs D in dance and drama.

How to use cursive

letters in handwriting. Playing games by the

rules and with good sportsmanship.

Realising we can

learn from our mistakes - sometimes these are the most powerful lessons of all!
