Gardening and Kitchen: There will not be kitchen this week due to NAPLAN commitments for Mrs Kreymborg but restaurant related learning will continue in the classroom. Be prepared for more news on our Senior Unit Restaurant during Week 9. Garden times are a little different also over the next few weeks due to Mr Wundersitz well earned long service leave.
Students this week will be working hard on creating adverts for their restaurants as well as completing the Advertising Inquiry Unit.
Today we also begun looking into the setup of our school parliament. This year, there are a few changes as our focus has changed a little in the way parliament will run. Students will learn and understand more over the next few weeks as our plans evolve with student input.
Whole school reminders/updates:
Naplan Assessments (for Yr 3 & 5) this week
- Please ensure your child arrives to school on time this week as the assessments start at 9am.
- Schedule is:
- Tuesday 14 May Language Conventions test & Writing test
- Wednesday 15 May Reading test
- Thursday 16 May Numeracy test
- Friday 17 May Catch up day

- If you attended this training in 2016, your certificate has now expired so you will need to attend the training again this year.
- As from 1 July 2019 South Australia’s new laws require people working or volunteering with children to have a valid working with children check (WWCC), replacing the current system where people can have either a national police check assessment or a DHS screening.
Our school is registered to initiate this check for our parent volunteers. To apply you will need to provide your full name, date of birth and an email address to Jenny (authorised person) in the office. - There is no cost to apply as a volunteer in a school.
- If you have a current police clearance this will still be valid for a 3 year period, following this you will need to provide a WWCC check.
National Walk to School Day this Friday 17 May
- Students (and their parent) can choose to walk to school from their home or park the car in Gawler and walk the extra distance to school.
- We are not hosting our ‘regular walk to school event’ this year but families can still participate on the day themselves.
- Walk to School day raises awareness of the health, road safety, transport and environmental benefits that regular walking (especially to and from school) can provide for the long term well-being of our children

MUSIC with Mr Hueppauff
This term our Foundation to year 3 students are learning the recorder. For those students (or adults) who enjoy learning an instrument, and would like to keep practicing the recorder, I have a great APP which you can use.
- The program helps with note pitch learning and overall skills in reading music. It is very interactive, and takes the student through how to play notes, note values, and reading music. All aspects which we use in our general music lessons
The year 2’s & 3’s currently use this, however I haven’t introduced it to the Foundation & year 1’s.
