Phew ... what a week! I feel like I've been swimming under water all week and have just come up for air. Book Week was a HUGE success with lots of fun activities. Some of the highlights were the PJ and Popcorn night on Wednesday, the Scholastics Book Fair, Clifford the Dog's visit on Thursday and the Book Character Parade today. I hope it has given your child a new appreciation for reading. Among the messages conveyed to students this week were "to improve in reading you simply have to read". The more they read, the better they will get. Thanks to all the parents who helped throughout the week, especially in preparing the amazing costumes and outfits in today's Book Character Parade. I could see a lot of effort had been made. Congratulations Audrina Singh who won the prize for best dressed.
Room 19 has had a Monopoly competition all week to introduce this term's topic "Money makes the world go round". Monopoly is a great representation of life, particularly the latest game with Eftpos and million dollar-plus properties. Well done Tegan White who won the competition with more than $10,000 and eight streets - a real entrepreneur.
Our trip to the Tip Top Factory has been confirmed for September 19th. More information will follow. Thanks to all those parents who offered their help.
Stars of the Week were Hafsa Saeed for her amazing writing and Levi Abernethy for his excellent maths. The PB4L draw winner was Hafsa Saeed.
Have a great weekend.
Mr Henderson.
