Celebrating a fabulous BCC Twighlight Fete

A big thank you to all those people, P&F members, staff and parents, who put in so much time and effort to make Friday’s Twilight Fete such a huge success. Special thanks and appreciation to Suzie Fowler who gave up so much of her time to coordinate the entire event. This was my first Brindabella Fete and the sense of community and spirit that I witnessed on Friday was another highlight to what has been a very big year for Brindabella.

Let Them Run Wild

As the days are getting shorter and the weather is colder it is a good reminder that children still need to get outside and do exercise and activities. This is not only good for their health but also good for their mental health. Click here for recent research in this area.

Maths & Science at ELC

Today we did a combined maths/science lesson. We discussed volume and measurement. We also used the observe (notice), predict (guess) explain (why did it happen) formula for exploring how and why the food dyes were diluted and spread throughout the water. Finally, we discussed the rainbow they formed and reminded P.K. what kind of behaviour is “Rainbow Behaviour”, linking to our behaviour reward system. It was fun 

Mr Andy and Edward the Emu

Today Mr Andy visited Charnwood campus and read us a story about Edward the Emu.

Virginia Haussegger, an ambassador for the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge, came to visit the Year 3’s. She read us some of her favourite books such as The Magnificent Jellybean Tree and Secret Tree Fort. She told us that when she was younger she loved reading Enid Blyton books such as The Famous Five and The Faraway Tree We asked her what her most frightening moment as a journalist was and she told us a story about falling off a boat with the camera crew and having to stay on an island with sea lions. They were all very wet and cold and they had to stay all night until they were rescued by a helicopter the next day. She also told us stories about visiting Queen Elizabeth, the White House and spending time in Afghanistan.
