Sharon let me know that the “Let the Fun and Olympic Games” page has no place where you can leave a comment

I have put the info sheet you were all given at school on the page, as well as some links where you can find some information.

If you have a question or a concern leave a comment here!

See you all school on Tuesday

Sharon, Nadine & Momtahina made a video about Whaling.

Last week Mrs Dyer visited the national capital, Canberra, to receive an award. She was presented with her Australian Government 2008 National Award for Quality Schooling - Achievement by a Principal award.

A photographer came to school and took some photos of Mrs Dyer and students for the newspaper.

We are all very proud of her and what she does for our school. Mrs Dyer presented a cheque to the school at Assembly and everyone gave her three HUGE cheers!!!!!

Mrs Dyer is soon off to Harvard University in the USA to take part in a couple of “summer school” courses – good luck and learn lots. Wish we were going with you

I have copied this post from Naomis blog – thanks N!

Some lucky AllStars enrolled at Joffa’s Toon School today, and spent the morning learning how to draw cartoons. Looks like they had lots of fun, and were pretty good at it too

BubbleShare: Share photos – Play some Online Games.

This Monday is our school photo day!

Bring your smiles and “best” hair for a great shot of the AllStars

I will be back with you all and have had a haircut ready for the photo too

See you Monday!

Many lucky AllStars had the opportunity to celebrate another New Year last week. It was the Lunar (or Chinese) New Year and lots of special celebrations took place to welcome in the Year of the Rat. Parades with Dragons and fireworks, yummy food and even red envelopes with money inside!

In our class, some people dressed up, some received money from relatives, some visited temples,  and others had parties. Even Sandy dressed up in a Chinese outfit and joined in the fun

 Here are some photos of us enjoying the celebrations!

Last week we had a visit from the “Keep Australia Beautiful” council and we learnt all about our rubbish and the wide world of waste!

We found out about

• landfill
• bacteria
• chemicals
• bottles, glass, jars
• plastics
• recyclables
• contamination
• toxic
• dangers
• marine life
• pollution
• garbage

and our responsibilities towards our waste and rubbish.

There were lots of interesting things to think about – leave a comment on something YOU will do as a result of taking responsibility for your waste and rubbish      

Go on ….. leave a comment ……..

We made it!

After the frantic rush of end of the year we are finally on school holidays

Congratulations to everyone for your hard work, commitment to your learning, your sense of humour and for tolerating my (out of tune, but very enthusiastic) singing (and dancing) over the year!

For those AllStars who are moving on to High School at the end of January, thank you for the past two years. I know that you will all continue to grow and learn about yourself and your world, all of the rest of the AllStars will miss you sooooo much so please keep in contact and share your High School experiences with us back here on the AllStars blog.

Years 4 and 5, you will be moving up into Years 5 & 6 – some of you are school leaders already, we are all proud of the way you were ready to take up the challenging role of a school leader. Congratulations to everyone of you, we know that you will do a great job next year.

Here are some of my memories of the past year:

rubber gloves, crazy hair, funny hats, the Harbour Bridge birthday, ANZAC letters, dodgeball, chickens in the War, flags, garbage bags, PS2, buddies, Sandy, choose your own maths, Australia wiki, blogging, orange oranges, storyteller, jumping ropes, PWii, tennis, Samorost, Xcountry, eyes, science, vinegar on the ceiling, commenting, sculptures, junk, drawing, Ned Kelly, “Are We There Yet?” , debates, forensics, microscopes, experiments, cricket, visitors, games, BST, camp, water fights, Macbeth, history, MissionMaker, leadership, parties, pizza!, spiders, music, laughs, boogie, Gay Gordons, laptops, Voki, presentations, tunnel …..

Have I left anything out?

AllStars, enjoy the break, think about what/ how/ why you want to learn next year. Keep in contact through our blog – I’ll be posting over the holidays ( our videos of the Gay Gordons, Heel Toe Polka, Yr 6 Farewell etc) so keep looking in when you get the chance.

Have a great holiday,

Love MrsP
