It's the holidays!!!

Welcome to the September School Holidays!

All of the children have taken home multiple books to read during the holidays. With many of the children progressing to the next reading level within a 3-4 week period it is important to keep their reading up over this long holiday break. They can also work on IXL Maths as well as invertebrate hunting and observation whenever they are out and about.

We have set up a blog to track the caterpillars that we have been observing in the classroom. Many of the caterpillars are getting very large and 2 have already become pupas. The blog can be accessed by following this link http://cornishcaterpillars.blogspot.com.au and we will endeavour to take regular snaps of our "Benjis" and "Bobs."

If you are looking for something to do over the holidays the Melbourne Zoo are offering "Be A Bug Explorer." Have a look at this link for more information http://www.zoo.org.au/melbourne/whats-on/be-a-bug-explorer

Mrs Jenkins left for Africa on Saturday, taking with her the stationary and letters that the students wrote. Thank you to everyone who donated stationary during the week. We wish Mrs Jenkins and her husband a safe trip through Botswana and Zambia and we look forward to sharing their experiences on their return.

Could you please bring in during the first week back of Term 4 a clean, plastic 2 litre soft drink or juice bottle? They will be used as the body for their 3D imaginative invertebrate that they are creating as part of their summative assessment.

Have a fantastic holiday!
