School Community Thank You. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to the many programs and initiatives at Beaumaris Primary school throughout 2017. We appreciate your assistance and look forward to working with you all again next year. IMPORTANT: Working With Children Check Parents require a Working With Children Check if they are attending camp, excursions and volunteering in the school e.g. classroom reading, literacy groups, garden club, etc. Applying for a WWCC is done online and is free if you click on the volunteer category. A volunteer school worker is a person who without payment or reward voluntarily engages in: • School Council functions; • activities for the welfare of the school at the request of the Principal or School Council; • school work. To be a volunteer at a school a Working With Children Check card provided by the Department of Justice is required. This card is: • valid for 5 years • transferable between volunteer organisations • free of charge for volunteers, but cannot be used for paid employment. Please note: Parents need to have a WWCC card before they can volunteer or help in the classroom in 2018.

Thank you, Ellie. The School Project This year we are supporting “The School Project” which is an initiative from Melbourne Homeless Collective which provides essential school items to children displaced by domestic violence. We would like to donate whatever new, unused stationery items we have in classrooms which our students haven’t used yet, such as pens, glue sticks and exercise books if parents are happy for this to happen. If you would prefer any unused items to be sent home with your child please let their teacher know by the end of next week. Used stationery will be packed and then collected by the Pencil's Community who send pencil packs to children in 15 different countries including Australia. What a lovely opportunity for our children to learn about being humanitarian and giving back to the world.

LEVEL LOW DOWN Foundation

This week the Preps have been getting into the Christmas spirit. We have enjoyed decorating homemade gingerbread, creating our own wrapping paper and making special Christmas hats during Investigations! We are looking forward to our special Christmas lunch next week and singing 'Go Santa Go' at Christmas Carols next Wednesday night.

Year One (see next page)

Year Two It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The Year 2s have consolidated several skills this last week. A letter was written to persuade Santa to employ us as elves, we wrote fabulous Christmas acrostic poems and we practised our transactional writing when we planned our letters to our parents. We also went to a basketball clinic so Michael Jordan may soon lose his reputation as the most well-known player! Competition is on its way!

Year Three

We are on the countdown to our Christmas Carol’s night. We have been practising our song that is sure to wow you! On Monday the Year 3’s enjoyed finding out a little bit more about what it will be like in Year 4. We have been doing Christmas activities that involve research, creating, making writing and drawing. Our letters to Santa will be completed this week.




Year One

The Year Ones have been busy doing some activities from Santa's Workshop. These activities include 'Compliment Presents' in 1V, 'What I would NOT like for Christmas' in 1C and a procedural report on 'How I put up my Christmas tree' in 1W. We can NOT wait until Christmas! Did you hear that Santa knows Karate? He has a black belt. MERRY CHRISTMAS!




Year Four Wow…what a week we have had in Year 4. Last Friday the Year 4s and 21 parent helpers visited the Queen Victoria Market to buy produce for our Healthy Breakfast EXPO on Monday. The day was a huge successful with all students buying the necessary items on their shopping list. Thank you to all the parents that came along and assisted on the day. On Monday morning the students arrived bright and early to showcase their learning and delicious ‘healthy meal’ at the Healthy Breakfast EXPO. The students discussed the health benefits of their meal and how they prepared it. Also on Monday the students begun their Year 4 Bike Ed program with Mrs. Dale. Thanks to all the parents who offered their time to help out with the program as well as Mrs. Dale for her expertise in this area.

Year Five On Tuesday, the Year 5s had the ‘Bike Hike’ to celebrate the end of Bike Ed. They rode from school to Bicentennial Park in Chelsea. It was a fantastic day with perfect weather. As always, the students were extremely well behaved and we would like to thank all of the parents that assisted on the ride. This week we have also been having fun at Aspendale beach for the lifesaving program. The students have been involved in beach sprints, flags, boards and water safety. We would like to wish all families a safe and happy holiday and we will see everyone at the beginning of 2018!

Year Six This week the Year 6’s have participated in life saving. We have been doing all sorts of activities like survival swims (in shirts and pants) and learning about how to stay safe in the water. On Tuesday most of us attended a transition day at our new high school. We met our Year 7 teachers and found out a little bit more about what high school will be like. It was very exciting but also nerve-racking. Next week Year 6 will be super busy! On Monday evening we have our Graduation ceremony. We have been working very hard to get our writing for our Memory books finished. O n Tuesday we have a ‘Beach day’ and on Thursday we will be going on a ‘bike hike’ to Elwood.
