Dance Blitz at Bayview

On Friday 11^th August (Week 3) the students in Year 1 are hosting a dance competition fundraiser! The winning entry from each stage win a special Pizza Celebration Lunch (K, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6).

Students can perform in groups of up to five dancers. The entry fees is $2 per performer. Each performance can be a maximum of two minutes. They are welcome to wear costumes of their choice. Music will need to be supplied on either a USB or CD.

We’d love as many students as possible to be involved. We’re also hoping to have lots of parents come along and be part of the audience, with a small $2 admission charge.

Sign-up sheets will be available at the COLA at lunchtime. Come and be part of the action!

Many thanks,

Year 1 and Mrs Batten

Welcome to Term 3

Welcome back to Term 3. I hope that you have had a restful break.

It is going to be a great term and I am looking forward to the learning that will be happening in Year 5 across the term.

It was wonderful to finish last term with the Year 5 Learning Festival. I am very proud of all the Year 5 students and the learning and progress that they have made across Semester 1. This term I will still be using the blog, and of course Canvas. Lots of our learning from Term 1 and 2 can be seen on these platforms. I would encourage you to regularly ask your child to show you their work from Canvas.

This term we will be investigating ‘Colonial Australia’ in History. We will be concentrating on using historical inquiry to understand the reasons for beginning settlements throughout NSW and the impact that these settlements had on Indigenous people, and the growing Colony. As part of this unit of work we will undertake a field trip to Bathurst to understand the impact that the Gold Rush had to Australia. The field trip commences on 15^th August till 18^th August. Please look out for the permission and health note coming out soon.

For Science this term, we will be learning about ‘Production, which is a unit of work based around investigating how food moves from farm to table. It will also investigate how various materials are used to transport food and how the properties of these materials help make this transportation possible.

Year 5 students will also be completing a formal Speaking and Listening Task this term. I will send home further details of this speech later in the term.

I am always happy to discuss the progress of your child’s learning and would ask if you to make appointments through the school office or by writing a note in the school diary.
