Hello Carrum Community,

Welcome to your week 2 Term 3 Newsletter.

Hi, this is Austin and Thomas and this Term we have a lot of fun and exciting events that are happening and coming up here at Carrum Primary.

This Monday we had the 5\6 girls AFL division team and they tried their hardest and played together well. This Friday we have PJ day where you can wear your comfy oodies and  slippers so make sure to bring a gold coin donation! Mr Langford's farewell assembly is this week as well so it will be earlier at 2.30 so if you’d like, you can say goodbye and wish Mr Langford good luck at his new school, Overport. If you like you can bring your Melbourne scarfs, beanies or colours for the important assembly to wear over your PJS.

Just a few reminders: tomorrow is the teachers strike but if you are busy working you can send your kids to school but you need to let the office know ASAP. We had the Neds performance booked,but we had to reschedule this incursion and the new date will be August 13th. We are having a special performance to learn about never giving up and always having a growth mindset so this should be fun!

Next week our Prep to year 2 students will be starting swimming at Waves so make sure they have all their things ready!

On August the 19th the 3 / 4 students will be going to Camp Manyung, this could be their first camp!

On Friday our preps have been at school for 100 days! You might see them dressed up or couting 100 things!

Also, don’t forget to order your Sushi for Friday July 31st, the day before!

One more special note from our teachers, they would like to thank Team Kids and students for their yummy morning tea on Tuesday.

                       

To finish we will end on a joke

1. What is the tallest building in school? 
2. The library, because it has the most stories

Thanks
Thomas and Austin

When did we go and when did we come back?

We left on Wednesday the 13th of May and came back on Friday the 15th.

The Food: For morning and afternoon tea there was a selection of cordial, fruit and muffins. For lunch we had hot dogs and salad rolls. For dinner on the first night we had lasagna and garlic bread with the side of fruits and vegetables. On the second night we had chicken schnitzel with a side of salad, we had nice desserts too. It was delicious!

Activities: There were many fun activities but the top 5 favourites were: Giant swing, Leap of faith, Archery, Bushcraft, and The nature walk where we saw lots of native animals.

Cabins: In our cabins there were 8-9 people situated into bunk beds and one stretcher bed or mattress. Everyone at least got one friend in their cabins.

In the end camp was a very fun experience for all the 5/6s that attended. And a big thanks to all of the parents who came along to this special event and of course our teachers.

International Day of Play is a time to celebrate the power of play. It’s a time to raise awareness about how central play is to every child’s development and well-being. And it’s a time when we can come together to make sure that every child is able to fulfil their right to play.  

The theme for this year’s International Day of Play is “Protect play, protect childhood”. The theme is a reminder for all of us – schools and families – that happy and healthy childhoods are built on play.

Our Friendly face of the school Bec. S is back after her much earned holiday to Bali with family. For those who don't know to much about her here is her little bio/snapshot!

Hi, I’m Bec!

I’ve been working here for 10 years. Being born and raised in Carrum, I’ve seen lots of changes in the area over the years. What are the chances of ending up working at the same school you went to as a kid? I honestly can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather work or live!

I first started here as a volunteer while my children were at school, then moved into an ES role in the classroom. In 2022, I made the move into the admin team. I love that I still get to see the kids every day when they pop into the office ?

I have two children and two stepchildren, so life is always busy! Our family is involved in many sports, and during summer you’ll usually find us at the cricket club. Most of our family plays cricket – including us girls! I’d say I enjoy the social side of the game a little more than my actual cricket skills… but that’s all part of the fun!

When I’m not at work, I enjoy catching up with family and friends, watching movies, doing puzzles, walking along the beach, and going on holidays. I recently travelled to Bali and loved exploring different parts of the island. It’s such a beautiful place with wonderful people, amazing scenery, and plenty of warm weather!

Students of all ages are tutored in private one-to-one lessons. Children are taught in a positive and nurturing environment. The tuition sessions are designed according to the student’s individual needs, which are regularly evaluated and form part of ongoing assessment. I tailor to the needs of each student, which is delivered in a positive learning environment designed to foster self-esteem and motivate students to achieve their full potential.  Students with special needs are also catered for.

The core work covers the following:

READING: To develop Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency and Expanded Vocabulary.

WRITING: Examines the different genres and includes writing organisations for each genre, essay writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar and editing skills.

MATHEMATICS: Covers Numeracy & Algebra, Measurement & Geometry and Statistics & Probability

EXAM PREPARATIONS: These helps identify the student’s progress and help develop skills for NAPLAN, ICAS, scholarship and entrance exams
