Allegra Spender - Junior School Leadership Forum
Yesterday the school captains went to meet Allegra Spender at the Double Bay Library to talk about what it means to be a leader.  Allegra told us how she got into politics and some tips on how to be a great leader.  She asked us what we want to improve about the community and things we liked. It was a rewarding experience.

Environment Club

Yesterday the environment club helped to grow a new garden.  We planted seed bombs that were made during the Stage 3 excursion to the Australian Museum.

This is going to grow into a lovely wildflower patch for everyone to enjoy.  We hope in a couple of weeks these seedlings will grow into a lovely garden!

NAPLAN (National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy)

NAPLAN is an annual assessment for year 3,5,7 and 9 students that measures students' skills in reading, writing, language conventions, and numeracy.  It provides valuable insights into their progress and helps identify areas for further development.This year, our Year 3 students have demonstrated great resilience and adaptability in their NAPLAN assessments, with three out of the four tests being completed on a laptop.

Their growing confidence in using digital tools has been evident, and they should feel incredibly proud of their efforts.

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Playground Rewards
Congratulations to 4W who were the first class to be chosen for outstanding responsible and respectful behaviour at morning lines. They earned the privilege of eating their lunch together at the picnic tables.  Well done!

Every day at the Year 3-6 morning assemblies the teachers are taking note of each class and their behaviour.  A tally is kept and the class with the most points at the end of the week, earn this privilege.

Clean Up Australia Day

Last week Glenmore Road students walked around the school and Paddington for Clean Up Australia Day.  Everyone participated in making our local environment a better one. 

Some strange stuff was found including an old suitcase filled with disgusting slugs.

Glenmore kids are wonderful environmental warriors.

REPEAT MESSAGES & REMINDERS:

Easter Hat & Pedlars Parade - Tuesday 8 April
Kindy – Year 2 Easter Hat Parade: Students in Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 will be having an Easter Hat Parade. The students will be making their hats at home and will bring them to school to wear on the day of the parade. The hats can be made from a wide range of materials. Discount stores, Spotlight and art and craft stores are a good starting point to find items.  Please remember however this is some Easter fun, not a competition.  Students can wear mufti on the day of the Easter Hat Parade. 

Year 3 - Year 6 Pedlars Parade: Students in Years 3-6 will be having a Pedlars Parade. A Pedlars Parade is a traditional way of raising funds and having fun. The students make things to sell at school for Easter. They dress-up as a ‘pedlar’ and parade their goods and then sell them to each other. The money raised will go towards school resources. We encourage children to use creativity and initiative to make items such as individually wrapped treats, stationery supplies, small toys etc - about 6-8 is a good number. Please remember that we have a number of students with food allergies and therefore we ask you not to send in food products with nuts. Students can wear mufti on the day of the Pedlars Parade. If you do not want your child to participate in the Pedlars Parade please notify your child’s class teacher.

Students from K-6 can bring money on the day (no more than $5 please) and purchase tickets to buy items from the Pedlars. Each item is sold for $1 or $2, as the Pedlars decide.

Photo day is not far away!  Payments this year are on line only.

Please remind your child to look neat and tidy on photo day and to be wearing the correct school uniform.
