Internet and mobile phone technology is fabulous and provides us with the ability to connect with people all around the world. We can explore and learn about the world like never before, however, cyberspace does have its problems, and unfortunately for kids, they are the primary targets for people’s warped ideas and bad behaviours.

Woohoo 😃
Looking forward to it 😊
This term Class Three studied dwellings found throughout the world. We began by exploring dwellings built by our First Nation people. We discussed what materials were used in construction and what factors influenced the design. The children spent some time outside working to construct their own life-sized humpies. We then looked at dwellings built for different climates. For example, we looked at igloos and log or stone houses built for a cold climate. We looked at the yurt and stilt houses built for a warm climate. We also discovered that some houses are built underground in places where it is very hot during the day and cold during the night. The children made a clay model of the house they most enjoyed finding out about. These are on display in our classroom.
The next step was for the children to choose a house they were interested in learning more about. Each child then completed a written project at school. At home, the children made a model for the dwelling they had written about in class. These models and written projects are on display in the school hall. We hope you can pop in and view them.
The children are currently presenting their projects to their class and other classes in the school. Our final step will be to build a life-sized bridge for the kindergarten children under Don’s wise guidance.
A huge thank you to the families that supported the children to create models of their chosen project. I do hope you enjoy them.

Last Tuesday Class Six had a fabulous day out kayaking on the beautiful Bellinger River with the Bellingen Canoe Centre. We had two hours before lunch paddling up stream and back before having a well-deserved lunch break. After lunch we took to the water for another hour, exploring a different tributary to the river and having fun taking part in a few 'on water' games.
In week nine Class Six will build on what they learnt last Tuesday and take on a more challenging paddling experience. Together we will paddle from Ferntree to Mylestom. I'm sure it will be a fun and rewarding experience.
We are grateful that we have so many wonderful natural places to explore on our doorstep.

Looking inside a native beehive...
Last Thursday our two kindergarten classes joined together for a native beehive split. The children and teachers sang to the bees before proceeding to have a look and smell (the delicious smell of beeswax and honey).
At lunchtime the children and staff had an opportunity to taste the delicious honey (citrusy taste).
Once a year the beehive is opened to create two beehives. There are about 10,000 native bees in a hive. Within a year 5000 bees multiply to fill an empty half of a hive. Nature's magic. The honey is higher in antioxidant, antibacterial benefits than manuka honey.
We are blessed to have access to these magical workers of nature.

The Casuarina Craft Group has been busy making animals, and families are welcome to purchase them in time for the holidays. If you are keen to sew your own, more animals have been cut out and are ready to go as your holiday project.
If you buy an animal cut and ready to sew, you will need to purchase your own sewing thread and needle, but we will provide the stuffing and pre-cut felt pieces.
These photos show what is available in completed animals, and pre-cut felt (ready-to-sew) animals.
Colours available are as per the photos. Prices: (animal/pre-cut) Dog ($15/$10), Cat ($15/$10), Dolphin ($8/$4), Horse ($20/$14 - mane & tail also provided), Hen & 2 chicks ($20/$12), Dinosaur ($20/$14), Elephant ($20/$12), Geckos ($12/$8), Large Fish ($4/$3), Small fish ($3/$2). If you like a pre-cut colour and would like us to sew it for you, then the finished animal cost applies (as well as a small wait - subject to orders).
Also, we have some "Pocket Love" hearts (thank you to our very own Frances for the idea) which parents can fill with love each day and children can carry in their pocket; for $3 each. Contact Helen on 0478226601 to order and arrange for payment and pick up through the school office.

Grade 6 Surfing....That is awesome! 🏄♂️
Class Three have completed their House Building Main Lesson project. The project required the students to engage in a practical task that required perseverance, responsibility and focus.
The students had to consider and document various elements of their design; country of origin, environmental factors, materials used to build the house, description and planning of the building process.
On completion of the project the students gave a presentation to the class.
Well done Class Three.
