Year 3/4 CA this week have been learning about tension and suspense to describe feelings and emotions - show not tell....
Examples of their stupendous writing and comprehension skills
Wolf Pack by Alannah Miles
Bang! goes the hunter's rifle's "Run" screams midnight leader of our wolf pack.
Okay, so let me fill you in, My name is Star, I'm part of night clan wolf pack, we travel the land and have never come across hunters until today. We were travelling peacefully then we came across a camp full of hunter then they started to attach us....
The Abandoned Mansion by Caitlin Walsh
Boom? Goes the thunder 'we need shelter' I say loudly over the loud booms of the thunderstorm 'there' says Drake pointing to a rusty, dilapidated mansion. it wasn't clear at first but once I got use to the rain I saw a mansion that had creaking windows and doors and the window sills were dusty, the whole house was dusty.
We ran up the stairs and into the house. When we get in I see shadows dancing on the ceiling and walls. These shadows were lit by the moonlight then I see the walls and everything. then it hits me like a bullet shot from a gun. This thing was a place for something before, something important....
then the thunder strikes again, this time louder BOOM! It strikes a tree next to the mansion. The tree, engulfed in flames lit the mansion with a stunning light, then I noticed a hunched figure at the top of the stairs.... "hey" Amy whispered 'who is that?" she points to the figure. "I don't know," I whisper back. BOOM!! The lightning again. It lit the house this time. Soon the light faded engulfing the mansion in total darkness, the figure was gone..
Floppy Fun Time by Andrew Doszpot
Empty rows of the shut supermarket. I finally got to the toy section when I hear a cackling voice.
"Hello Timmy" it said.
"How do you know my name!!" I reply.
"I know everything!"
an exciting ending by Thomas Doyle
Hmm? what is that sound I wonder! I feel something tickling my senses I feel as I can cry many tears, but at the same time burst with happiness. I look back and scream....
The Bulb Fundraiser has closed. Thanks for participating, we have made a profit of $820. Thank you for participating and being so generous. We love you and your garden will too.
The Garden Club
Kindergarten students participated in the Garden Club this week, kind donations of herbs - from a staff member's vegie garden.
The children loved smelling the herbs, getting their hands dirty and were lucky enough to discover a caterpillar and a baby worm.

Happy Birthday Edward P, Carter G
We had our first incursion this Tuesday, Ryka is from Yidinji country and he shared some dress items, tools and instruments from his culture and taught us some new songs and dances.
The Lobsters had their first fruit shop on Wednesday. Thank you to the Rae family from the primary school for providing our mystery fruit this week, fresh from their garden. We were all surprised to learn about Cucamelons which look like watermelons, are the size of grapes and taste like cucumbers. Thanks also to Maxwell for bringing in an orange mini capsicum from his grandma’s garden.
Project Compassion
During Lent, children are welcome to bring in donations for Project Compassion to help people living in poverty. For every $3 donated we will contribute rice to the class jar. At the end of Lent we will cook and share the rice.
Parent Reps
Thank you to Bianca Barlow (mum of Bethany in the Turtles), Pip Swayn (mum of Eddie in the Stingrays) and Elina Dimanoski (mum of Aliya in the Lobsters) who have volunteered to be the ELC parent reps for this year. They will be in touch with families to organise an email list and social events.
Uniform Shop Super Sunday Sale
If you need extra ELC uniforms, Mullyduds will be open on Sunday 20 March from 1-3pm for new and second hand uniforms.
Covid-19
If your child returns a positive Covid test, you must notify ACT Health immediately and contact the ELC office so that contact tracing can begin. If there is a positive case within the centre, we will notify all families to inform you of the risks during any identified contact time. If your child is required to isolate, we can apply the Covid Gap Fee Discount to your account.
