TERM 3 WEEK 8                            K-2B

                      There is never a dull moment in our classroom!
        K-2B have been working extremely hard in all aspects of their learning.
 We cook each Monday. During this time we try new food, learn table manners and help
               each other with setting and packing up after we have eaten.
     We have the best skilled children with washing up, packing away and cleaning!
         We love visiting the library on Tuesday. Mrs Reichert told us that we all
    qualified for the Premier’s Reading Challenge this year. We will be waiting with
                           excitement to receive our certificates!
 Buddies, thank you to all of the children who volunteer their time to visit our room and
                enjoy the company of K-2B children in the playground.
 For Father’s Day, we made key rings and made dishcloth wipes into a pair of pyjamas.

CAPTAIN’S REPORT
WOW !! What a wonderful few weeks we’ve had at Arcadia Vale Public
School. Recently, we had an amazing School Pyjama Day, we raised a
          total of $146.50 towards the year 6 Farewell gift!
 On Fridays we have been enjoying fruit, provided by the canteen and
                   organised by Mrs B and Mrs H.
On Tuesdays we have been participating in Trash Free Tuesdays, where
you bring a trash free lunch and recess. If you do, you have a chance to
                            win a prize………
Cross Country was a thrilling event organised by Miss Healy, good work
                       to all who participated!
    That concludes the outstanding last few weeks at our school!!!

ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS
TRASH FREE TUESDAYS—Our first “Trash Free Tuesday” was a big success with all the teachers
extremely proud of the efforts of our students. The overall class with the most trash free
lunchboxes were K-2B winning 10 extra minutes of play and Isaac R. (2/3) winning the
individual prize. Trash Free Tuesday will be continuing each Tuesday. 3/4H have created a
little video about our Trash Free Tuesday initiative which you can view using this link:
https://youtu.be/YHomnChdzBY
OTHER WASTE INITIATIVES—In Week 7 we contacted Glendale Bunnings to request some
possible support with our recent Waste Management and Sustainability Practices and we are so
pleased that Bunnings were able to donate a range of resources over the value of $200 to help
with our endeavours. We are very thankful for the very kind donation to help us on our waste
management journey. Over the next few weeks the resources will be distributed around the
classrooms to help them identify and sort all the waste we produce at school and provide more
sustainable waste management practices. Each classroom will be allocated a fruit/compost bin,
paper/cardboard recycle bin, a RedCycle bin and a landfill bin. Amy Ferguson has agreed to help
support and educate students to dispose of our fruit scraps into our compost bins near the
garden. So far 3/4H students are very excited and up for the challenge of being Eco –Warriors!
You will also be hearing more about the RedCycle initiative at AVPS shortly. To familiarise
yourself with what RedCycle involves, you can view their website:
