Mrs Britten, Mrs Lowe, Mrs Walpole, Mr Smith and Mrs Page would all like to welcome you to our Stage 2 news for Term 1.
What a busy and exciting term we have had. Time flies when you are growing and learning.
In Term one we settled into our classes and have been working hard to establish our routines.
RECENT EVENTS
Egglympics
Mrs Britten and our very capable KVPS leaders helped organise a memorable Easter Egglympics this year. As a lead up to the Easter week end students celebrated through various games and events. Everyone involved had an absolute ball. There were many laughs and it was inspiring to see classes working together in team events.
Star Voucher Day
On Star Voucher Day students had over 700 vouchers to use on the following rewards:
1. Classroom swap
2. Extra play with games on the playground
3. Mr Moxon's Monstrous Morning Tea
4. BYO Technology
5. Hall Frenzy with games in the hall
Students earned over 2800 star slips during Term One for outstanding behaviour both in the classroom and on the playground. Many students had more than one voucher to use on Voucher Day. Keep up the wonderful work KVPS students!
New Geography Curriculum
This year we have implemented the new Geography Syllabus which has replaced the old HSIE syllabus (Human Society in It's Environment)
Stage Two has been looking at 'The Earth's Environment' In this unit we have looked at a world map and discussed the equator and the northern and southern hemispheres. Students researched traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and traditions, looking in particular at how these relate to the earth and the land. This generated much discussion and interest from students.
CAKE STALLS
Finally, thank you to all those dedicated parents and students who provided cakes for our Stage Two cake stall recently. Cake stalls prove to be very popular and raise much needed funds for our Year Six fundraising account.
