In heaven shines a golden star
                                                          An angel led you from afar
                                                          From heaven high unto the earth
                                                          And brought you to your house of birth.

                                                          And the angel led you
                                                          Across the rainbow bridge saying:
                                                          “Joy and laughter, you may bring
                                                          To everyone and everything.”

                                                          And on the earth, you were born
                                                          And we looked at you and said:
                                                          ‘Look at this precious gift from the heavens…
                                                          We shall name him Oliver Edwin’.

                                                          The Echidnas have finished their winter pom poms and are moving on to sanding and sewing
                                                          the winter gnomes.

                                                          Our story for this week is Sweet Porridge and we are enjoying songs about snow and cold in
                                                          Morning Circle. ‘A Donkey My Dear’ is already a favourite in both groups with little shoes of
                                                          lavender to ‘keep her from the cold’!

                                                          In 2022 the Morning Star kindergarten program will operate as follows:

                                                          3 year old Honey Bee kindergarten:

                                                          4 year old Echidna kindergarten:
                                                          Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9.00am - 3.15pm

ROSA MUNDI
The Rosa Mundi Prep Class enjoyed the early return to school last week. They welcomed a new Morning Circle complete with new favourite songs. My
Donkey My Dear has everyone giggling when they dance in their little shoes of lavender each day.

Everyone adjusted well to the disappointment of not going skiing and happily started the day making muffins and sharing in a hot chocolate treat at
school.

There has been lots of work in the garden weaving the cubby fence with the winter fruit tree pruning’s.

Busy fingers also crafted neat little snow drop flowers from bees wax.

Fingers crossed for more visits to the snow.

CLASS ONE
Class One enjoy spending time with Jane on Fridays in the hall where they rotate around a
series of activities designed to help develop their co-ordination, balance and integration of
movement for improved learning.

The students snake through tunnels, jump over obstacles, roll over the mats and balance
bean bags as well as themselves across the beam. It’s a fun way to end our week and the
students are always invigorated when they come back to class.

Class One teacher

CLASS TWO
Class Two have been uncovering all kinds of magical patterns in our Magic Numbers Main
Lesson.

We have discovered square numbers in Squire Square’s Square City, we built golden steps to
rescue gnomes trapped in caves, modelled and carved magic squares into turtle shells and
snuck over to Royal Rex’s city to spy on his rectangular vegetable patch. Many students have
discovered their own magic patterns all around our classroom!

We have begun writing a never-ending story together using our spelling words each week and
have proudly reached the golden number of 500 by using different number patterns and our
times tables songs to count.

Amy Burns
Class Two teacher

CLASS THREE
Class Three have been enjoying learning about Uncle Bruce’s farm while they learn about
fractions. Uncle Bruce keeps being given more animals to look after and so has to divide his
farm into more and more paddocks to keep them in – into halves when the sheep arrived to
augment his cattle business, and then into quarters when the pigs came and he had to start
growing hay as well. Then he realized the cattle needed more room, so he divided his farm
into eighths and the cattle got 3/8 of the farm, the sheep 2/8, the hay 2/8 and the pigs 1/8.

Aunty Flora bought a farm nearby and she has started a camel milk business! No doubt
some more animals will come to her farm and she’ll have to put in more fences too!

CLASS FOUR
                                                           Class Four is continuing to hear Norse Myths in our new Main Lesson, The Arts of Language
                                                           and Literacy. The students will focus on grammar, spelling, punctuation, reading, listening and
                                                           speaking, and poetry. The students will hear stories such as The Three Norns, each spinning
                                                           the threads of life and fate who created the past, present and future.

                                                           Through this we will learn about writing in different tenses. We will learn about prepositions
                                                           and connectives and later in the Main Lesson look at texts that use different styles of writing.
                                                           The class will begin practising their Class Play, memorising the lines and beginning to act out
                                                           the scenes.

                                                           CLASS FIVE
                                                           Class Five had a wonderful day skiing at Mt Buller last week and they are looking forward to
                                                           returning this week. There were lots of exhausted children with huge smiles and stories to tell.
                                                           For some of the students it was their first-time skiing at Mt Buller while others have been
                                                           many times. Whatever their level of skill, there was enjoyment expressed and lots of learning.

                                                           We have completed our Persian/Mesopotamia Main Lesson with the stories of Gilgamesh and
                                                           Enkidu. These stories of good and evil, kindness and cruelty, developed and expanded the
                                                           children’s vocabulary, spelling and story writing skills.

                                                           Our new Main Lesson will reintroduce fractions and decimals.

                                                           CLASS SIX
                                                           Class Six are working hard to pull together our class play ‘Peter Pan’ amongst a shifting
                                                           landscape of lockdowns and ski days. Thankfully, we have Billy back to jump into his role after
                                                           being released from isolation. We hope to be ready to perform the show, either at the end of
                                                           this week or early next week. The songs for the play are also coming together and we can
                                                           look forward to some Class Six gusto when they perform them.

                                                           In conjunction with the play, we have continued to use the order of operations to solve more
                                                           complex problems and are beginning to add fractions and decimals to the mix.

                                                           AUSTRALIAN MATHS COMPETITION
                                                           On Friday 13 August, about forty students from our school sat for the Australian Mathematics
                                                           Competition. For some it was their first encounter with ‘exam’ conditions, but they all seemed
                                                           to handle it well.

                                                           This competition has been going for over forty years and around 500,000 students from all
                                                           over Australia try their hands each year.

                                                           In a couple of months, the results will come through and students will be awarded various
                                                           certificates depending on their results – but all are to be congratulated for ‘having a go’!

LEARNING SUPPORT

In the primary school most of our literacy groups are using the MacqLit program enriched by some Extra Lesson exercises.

In MacqLit we typically do some spelling, dictation, reading, vowel identification, oral segmenting, and oral blending in each session.

Each of the groups are working on a different sound or rule.

                                                           Year 7 students have concluded their Age of Discovery Main Lesson producing some
                                                           fantastic board games, which everyone has enjoyed playing.

                                                           snowboarding down Mt Buller. It has been remarkable watching students learn new skills with

Last week the Year 9 cohort were extremely fortunate to get their ski trip to Mount Stirling
off the ground with huge thank-you’s going to Kate and Ness for all their help. After
spending Tuesday night camped in the snow at King Saddle the group headed up to
Razorback Hut to shelter from the rough weather. We spent the following two nights there
perfecting turns, creating snow sculptures and building igloos! A great time was had by all
and there was certainly a buzz around the group skiing back down to TBJ on Friday.

                                                                Art is very personal, when you express yourself and your inner world, you are vulnerable.
                                                                Reaching out and communicating through Art, making Art, is enormously rewarding, but there
                                                                is always an element of risk. Firstly, we risk failure, that our idea will not look as good out
                                                                ‘there’ as it did in our heads. We may not yet have the skill or techniques needed to realise
                                                                our ideas. We risk others will not ‘like’ our Art, or appreciate our efforts, because Art is so
                                                                personal. Every artist faces these fears, yet they persist.

                                                                The aim of the IB Visual Arts course is to guide the individual in the exploration of their
                                                                creative selves. To learn the skills that will enable them to express themselves artistically, and
                                                                to work in the way that an artist works. To research and learn from history, other cultures and
other artists, to understand their place in a global context.

Artists have a message they want to share with their audience, it may be aesthetic, it may be political or intellectual, it may be humorous, or it may be
deeply spiritual. To pursue your own creative ideas demands an open and curious mind and takes courage. Our Year 12 Visual Arts students will be
sharing their artwork with the school and local community in their Graduate Exhibition. The completion of at least seven resolved artworks and their
curation is a major component of their final assessment. They hope that you will be their audience, come and see what they have created and share
their experience.

Ingredients

     8 sheets rice paper wrappers
     Water

Marinade

     2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or preferred oil)
     3 tablespoons low sodium tamari , GF if preferred (sub soy)
     1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
     1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke
     2 teaspoons molasses
     1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
     1 teaspoon granulated garlic
     3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
     1/2 teaspoon onion powder
     1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

   1. Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
   2. In a small bowl, add all marinade ingredients and whisk to combine well. Set aside.
   3. Put two sheets of rice paper together with smooth sides facing each other. Now quickly run under water to make them pliable and stick together.
      Be careful not to trap too much water in between sheets (a little is ok). You don't have to soak the rice paper sheets, just wet them enough so they
      adhere together. Gently brush off excess water with your fingers. *Alternatively, you can brush on water and stick them together that way.
   4. Lay adhered sheets on a flat surface and brush marinade on each side. Don't put too much or this will cause soggy and really chewy bacon. You
      should have just enough marinade for all 8 sheets of rice paper.
   5. Now, using clean kitchen scissors, (this is a bit messy) cut the rice paper into thick strips. I snip off and discard a small portion of the rounded
      edges to keep the strips a similar shape.
   6. Now, place the bacon strips on your prepared baking sheet. Fit as many strips as you can but leave a little room in between each one so they
      cook properly.
   7. *This next step is optional and will create a slightly chewier texture on the edge of the bacon. Just lightly brush the marinade on half of the bacon
      strip. No need to flip it over, one side is enough.
   8. Place the pan in your preheated oven. You'll need to keep a close eye on the strips because they can burn easily. My oven tends to get hot, so I
      rotate the pan at the halfway mark. The bacon should take anywhere from 5-7 minutes to finish (maybe more for some ovens). It should become
      crispy and perfectly browned. If you take it out too soon, it will be too chewy to eat and taking it out too late will cause an awful burnt taste. If you
      aren't sure how it will work in your oven, you can do a test run with 5-6 strips.
   9. Remove pan from oven and place bacon strips on paper towels to absorb excess oil. The bacon will crisp up even more over the next few
      minutes.
  10. Eat right away or store in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Layer on top of paper towels. Store in a dry area.
