Hi Carrum students and families!

Welcome back everyone! It’s your school captains Ivy and James, we can’t believe this year has gone by so fast! It’s only a few more weeks until our year sixes graduate and go into high school. We have had a few exciting and fun things happening recently. 

Our teachers would like to congratulate the lovely Miss Anderson, now Mrs Blane who was married last weekend.
She teaches our 3/4 class and takes students for tutoring.
      

Last week was our Colour Fun Run which was really cool to see everyone getting all coloured and having so much fun. We managed to raise over $32,000 and got to slime more teachers AND our principal!! Good job and a big thank you to everyone who donated!

We asked a few people in the yard what they enjoyed about the Fun Run.

“I enjoyed spraying people!” - Lizzy (1 / 2) 

“I liked having fun with my friends.” - Jack (3 / 4)

“I liked getting prizes!” - Meila (5 / 6)

This week, the 3/4s are starting bike-ed! It’s really important to be safe on our bikes so please be careful when we are riding to, and from school. In a few weeks, the year sixes are going on the annual year six bike ride to Chelsea Bicentennial Park! 

For the past couple of weeks, we have been having our Up Day! It’s been really exciting and nerve-wracking but it’s been fun! During Up Day, our year fives have presented their leadership speeches for next year. Good luck and good job to all!

Some of our year fours are running for marine ambassador this week! Good luck to everyone! 

We have one of our Junior School Council representatives writing a little something about a visit from Sonya Kilkenny! Thank you Eden! 

“Hi, I'm Eden and I'm here to talk to you all about Sonya Kilkenny's recent visit to the 5/6s. We are doing inquiry and our topic is Taking Action. I went around the yard and asked some year fives and year sixes about what they thought about it. Maliyah and Summer thought it was "Inspiring", Evelyn B thought it was “Interesting” and “Nice that Sonya cares about us’’. Shapi thought it was “Good”  and Lily A thought it was "Educational''

Thank you! From Eden.

Have a great weekend

From your school Captains,

Ivy and James.

Kitchen Reports for Week 4

Sassy 3/4 D

In Kitchen this week we made Indian food, and it all was incredibly delicious. In my group, the Numbats we made Puris and they were amazing. Puris are beautiful puff bread that you can add different types of Indian curry to. It is like a delicious bomb of flavours when you add everything to your Puri. I loved rolling out the dough for the puris. Jane deep fried the puris and we opened the middle of them and then added all the beautiful curries into it. All the food was delicious, but my favourite dish had to be the puris. I love kitchen so much!

Hayley 3/4  D

In kitchen this week we have been learning about Indian food. My group made Sukhe Aloo. Which is cooked potato curry. We used potatoes, vegetable oil, curry leaves, black mustard seeds, dried chillies, turmeric, salt and coriander leaves. It is very easy to make. It was yummy and delicious with the rice. It was like a bomb of flavour. This is a wonderful dish to make. Everyone worked together to help make the wonderful dishes. My favourite was the puris which is puffed dough. We also made Indian Chopped Salad and Indian Spice Ghee Rice.

A HUGE thanks to our families in your recent support in our school fundraising.

Last Saturday we had a fundraising BBQ at Family Fresh Butcher, we sold sausages, hamburgers and egg and bacon rolls. Special thanks to the families and staff that helped on the day volunteering their time, also to their kids-who really helped boost sales.

We managed to raise over $1,000 which will go towards improving our animals and wetlands.

The butcher works with local community and clubs they donate the bread, bacon and eggs to stallholders and very kindly discounted our meat. Please give them a visit as their produce and variety is outstanding! They also have a family meals catering company (the meals are great)
