At the end of Term 3 we held our Writing Showcase. This event was outstanding and highlighted the learning taking place at Woodville. We were lucky to have special guest Phil Cummings, a talented Adelaide author, share some inspirational words while engaging some of our students in a writing workshop. The students gained a lot of insight into the world of a professional author. They were highly engaged and, in a short time frame, produced some high quality pieces of work. Thank you to all our families, friends and special guests for sharing and seeing the amazing learning our students have been involved in.

CHOIR 2018 - Wonderful success at the Festival Theatre

Our Senior Choir was involved in a wonderful evening of music, singing and performing at the Primary Music Festival at the Adelaide Festival Centre on the last day of Term 3. Our thanks go to Ira Henkel for all the work she has put into the choir over the course of the year. The choir members are Katelen, Alex, Tamika, Sharni, Jacob, Kane, Anureet, Kassie, Nada, Shelby, Stella, Victoria, Amber and Claire. The photograph you see below appeared in the evening programme:

TRASH AND TREASURE

On Saturday 27th October we held our first Trash and Treasure day. The Fundraising sub-committee of Governing

Council worked tirelessly for many hours to organise this event as did various teachers and their students. We had

many community members involved and members of the wider community coming through the school to enjoy stalls,

choir, puppets, food and rides. The “Australian Military Defence Force” interactive display was a huge success with

both adults children and staff alike. A big thank you to all the local businesses that donated various goods.

Trash & Treasure

Highlights!

Thank You for your support.

The dunking station was very popular. Luckily it was a warm day so it did come as a bit of relief! Staff and students volunteered and some parents even decided to get in on the act. Thank you to everyone. We hope to see more of the community attending school events in the future. A tiring but fun day was had by all.

Spaghetti Scientists

Room 7

In Room 7 we have been looking at the

‘Spot the Difference’ science topic.

Students have spent the last few days

creating spaghetti art and looking at

the difference between cooked and

uncooked spaghetti and the changes that

happen when it is cooked.

On Tuesday we created art with cooked

spaghetti, focusing on the way it felt,

looked and moved.

On Wednesday we created towers from

uncooked spaghetti and marshmallows

then identified the differences between

cooked and uncooked spaghetti.

INDONESIAN

LOAN WORDS Loan words are words that one language lends to another language. It must represent the same object and it might most probably sound similar but they may not be spelt the same. Some of these words are: Tomat is tomato, jip is jeep and lampu is lamp. Can you spot

which ones are the Indonesian words? Written by Summer, Kevin and Anureet from room 17 The word rambutan is a loan word and the word originated from the Malay - Indonesian language. Let’s see what some of our Woodville Primary students have to say about the fruit Source: http://topquality-produce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Dollarphotoclub_52762072.jpg

ART THERAPY

Rambutan is a spiky, red and white fruit with a very sweet flavour looking a bit like a pineapple. Abby

Rambutan, taste like a sweet pineapple a little bit sour. It has soft spikes that you cannot eat. It is white inside and is very juicy. Its red and it smells like lollies. Taya

Rambutan taste sweet and are soft. The fruit gets its name from the Indonesian word ‘rambut’ which means hair as the fruit is hairy. Tanvi

When I tasted rambutan it was normal because in Vietnam I always eat it. On the outside it is red, inside it has a white flesh covering a seed. Rambutan is better eaten when it is plucked from its trees instead from the packaging. Sophia
