June 2019

Busy days & long nights

Friendship Express arncliffew-p.schools.nsw.edu.au

We have managed to pack a lot of things into our short days this term. We've even had time to observe the winter solstice. On the 21st of June every year we experience the longest night in the southern hemisphere. The students did lots of beautiful art works to mark the occasion and Kindy made special apple rings coated in seeds to help the birds through these cold dark months. Pics p10&11 and artwork in Orange building.

Soccer has kept us warm this month and some fantastic soccer coaches helped the students to improve their skills. I have noticed an increase in the number of girls joining the soccer at lunchtime which is a great development. Perhaps we are training a future Matilda's star. Pics p8&9

I joined Kindergarten on a beautiful sunny day for a walk to Arncliffe Park. The children made the most of having so much space to run around in and enjoyed exploring their local area. The play equipment was also a big hit. Pics p6&7

As NAIDOC week falls in the school holidays, we chose to mark the occasion beforehand. The students and teachers performed the Torres Strait Island song `Taba Naba' and created a variety of art works that used Aboriginal symbols and decorative techniques. Pics p12&13, artwork on display in the office and video on the website.

On a more serious note reports went out to parents detailing the progress students have made during the first Semester. I have been impressed by the improvements in writing across the grades and language acquisition for our new arrivals. Well done everyone.

Al Zahra Kingdom Preschool came to visit again this month and enjoyed sharing our precious outdoor space with Jellybeans. Valuable community connections were made between students and teachers. Pics p5

Baby chickens were the other visitors to our school this month coming to both the Infants and Preschool as eggs in an incubator. The children and teachers watched excitedly as the chicks hatched and grew. Watching the hatching process has been a great preparation for our farm excursion next term. Pics p14&15.

2Green and 1/2 Yellow were drawing inspiration from volcanoes for their writing this week. Mr Hageman created an impressive volcano and `explosion' which the students drew as part of the planning for their writing. Everyone was captivated including me. Pics p16

I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday and comes back to school ready for an action packed Term 3.
