Last Week Reminders

Hi 3/4F Family,

We have arrived at the last week of the first term already!! Here are some reminders:

- Jelly Bean Competition: We are raising money for Cystic Fibrosis by holding a guess the jelly beans competition. The competition closes on Thursday so please have a guess for $1. The jelly beans are outside the canteen each recess and lunch time. Also, come dressed up in jelly bean colours (for a gold coin donation) on the last day of term to celebrate!

- Finishing Time on Thursday: Students will finish at 2.30pm on Thursday. Please be there on time to pick up your child/children.

- New Specialist Blog: The specialist at Mitcham Primary have developed their own blog. I have included a link to it under the links section. The address is: http://www.mitchamspecialists.blogspot.com.au/.

I hope you are all looking forward to the holidays.

3 Way Conferences This Tuesday

Murrindindi Visit

On Wednesday, the grade 2/3s and 3/4s had a visit from aboriginal elder Murrindindi. In the workshop we learnt about local aboriginal history, heard a dream time story, learnt about aboriginal artefacts, learnt aboriginal words, learnt how to throw a boomerang and heard Murrindindi play the didgeridoo. The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Some children were interested in where they could see him. Murrindindi has a show at Healesville Sanctuary as a part of the Birds of Prey show. He is there on Sundays and througout the school holidays.

3/4F Earth Hour Challenge

Are you up to the challenge? I have set 3/4F the challenge to participate in Earth Hour this Saturday night between 8.30pm and 9.30pm. What will you switch off? Use this as part of your homework!!! Add a comment below about how you made a difference this Earth Hour!

Remember changing the world starts with you!
