There were over 200 students at our school who completed the Premier's Reading Challenge this year. One student from each grade level was selected as a 'Challenge Champion'. These students had to be enthusiastic readers and have added many books to their reading lists. YiCheng received the Challenge Champion award for Grade 4. Here is a photo of him with his certificate and badge.

Candlebark Farm Camp

This term, week 5, level 3 went to candlebark farm. On the bus trip there, we stopped over at Corunderrk Reserve, an old, old place. There we saw a running stream with freash water and stones in it, smooth with erosion. It also has loads of greenery, with old forest ferns in it.

At Candlebark Farm we had a long, long, long chat from the manager of Candlebark farm about safty and all that. When he got up to "Bullants!", a cry from the crowd, sitting in frount of him made him know there was a bullant on somebody. He just ent down, picked up the bullant and told the crowd it was just a sugar ant and bull ants are bigger and bite.

We had activities also. There were 8 activities; orieenteering, flying fox, super swooper, canoieng, inative games, rockroom, low ropes and frisbee golf. You had a dutie group, you did the activities with your duty group.

The dinner was delicious. We had tomato soup that tasted like baked beans and chicken noodle soup which had noodles the size of your finger that would dissolve in your mouth for 'entre (both nights). we had apricot chicken with cooked carrots, peas, creamy mash potato and roast beef, roast potato, roast pumpkin and the option of gravy for main (both nights). We also had ice-cream that was soooooooooo delicious for wednesday and thursday night. It was with red jelly/fruit salad depending on the night.

We would watch a video, Yogi Bear the first night and Space Chimps 2 the secound night. Then we would have to go to bed (at 10'clock) in rock hard beds. Everybody was talking, not sleepy and it was a rough night(s).

It was a sleepy morning and an early one. we had Cereal for Breakfast and then we had a head count and so on, later when it was a showers there was a great baffle about who's going 1st and stuff! Later, at the camp fire behind the carpark, was a fire buring happily and benches. we all squished on to a bench. we then got a stick and marshmallows. you would put them in the fire. Most of them caught on Fire! I loved the sticky bit in the middle, where it is all melted. Some people liked the burnt taste of marshmallows who cought on fire and wasn't blown out quick enough, but, in my opin it was a disgusting taste!

On the way back to school, we stopped back at Corunderrk Reserve and went on the long track to Badger Weir. At the end, there was the most yummiest water, just cleaned. Then, we had to turn around and go back to the bus. We arrived back to school at 3 pm.

Term 4 Welcome

The year sure is flying by! Welcome back to school for Term 4. In the coming weeks Level 3 will be showcasing their work from our 'Splash' unit. This will include our Short Film Festival where our still-frame animation movies will be played. After this 'official' launch, we will be putting the movies on our blog for you to see.

We are also finishing off our Waterwatch Program with a community mural to be displayed in the Whitehorse City Council offices. This mural will be presented to Melbourne Water and the Whitehorse City Council at a special assembly.

Our Term 4 unit is called 'This is Australia' and will focus on geography, culture and historical Australians who have made positive contributions to shaping our nation. Students will be completing projects on historical Australians. It would be wonderful if parents could assist their children to research their topic at local libraries. More information to come!
