On Friday the senior students rotated throughout different spelling related activities for the Spellathon. The

grade 3 undercover area was turned into a

chalk filled graffiti of spelling words. The

children from each group chose one word to

cover with 5 cent coins as well, which on it’s

own raised $38! I think the children enjoyed

the spelling activities. Thanks to all whoparticipated and dressed up, collected

sponsors and remembered to bring along their

5cent coins.

Tootgarook Wetland Education Program 2016Our Junior School Councillors will be involved in this program over the next 5 weeks. The first two workshop

will be held at school beginning tomorrow - Friday 29th April. The next three will be held at

Tootgarook Wetlands.

The aim of this program is to engage local students in the environmental significance of the

Tootgarook Wetlands. The students will become Junior Environmental Scientists and learn

about the wetlands through practical workshops to learn about environmental monitoring.

Students will learn how to test water quality and identify local animals. Students are expectedto share this new knowledge to others at school through assembly’s, class presentations,

posters or displays. The students will gain new experiences in sustainability and scientific

investigation skills. They will develop a passion and empathy for their local environment.

Through engaging the students in their local environment, we aim to raise the profile and community

perceptions of the Tootgarook Wetlands.
