The vegetable garden can no longer be worked as the new building site will be using the space. We are developing plans for a wonderful new garden when the building is completed.
The compost bins will continue as this is part of teaching the children about sustainability
We need some HELP!!!!!!!!!

HELP to bring in any large pots
HELP to supply dry compost material such as garden prunings and grass clippings.

Dear Currambena
We tried to write a collaborative poem called “We are” inspired by our
buddies’ beautiful poems. It was tricky! Here is preschool’s version
of “I am”
We are
We are all of us, hello
We wonder if sometimes there will be an earthquake
We hear cars zooming by, the sound of shouting kids
We want the treehouse we’re building to have a slide to slide down
We are all of us, hello
We pretend we can be princesses and cats
We feel lonely for a cuddle from our mums
We touch our mum’s hands when we say goodbye
We cry when our mums won’t do what we want them to
We are all of us, hello
We understand when people yell at us, but we don’t feel very welcome
in this world
We say we want to have a go
We dream of monster trucks and Barbies
We try to climb the cubby house roof, but we can’t
We hope…
We are all of us, hello
Charlie, Alex, Grace, Joe O’ Shea, Poppy, Sienna, Honey, Xanthe (and a
few more)

Urgent: Missing Lane Cove Library Books
I borrowed from Lane Cove Library some books for Currambena which
have gone missing and I haven’t been able to return them. They were in
preschool for the children but they have gone missing from preschool
and I haven’t been able to find them anywhere else in the school.
If you have borrowed them and taken them home could you PLEASE give
them back to Gabriela in preschool.
The books in question:
1. Firefighters
2. Reducing Rubbish
Thanks!
Gabriela

“Through My Eyes” a song by Valerie Foley (mum of Billy in Fran’s)
“Through My Eyes”, sung by Thanh Bui, is a song about what it can feel like when you are autistic. I wrote the lyrics this year, inspired by the way our son Billy lives his life.
It’s been an amazing year for us, not least because Billy has found something at Currambena that we weren’t sure he would ever find – acceptance. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to write the lyrics of “Through My Eyes” before now, because we were too busy wondering how our little square peg would find any holes that were even remotely interesting to him. Autism, in our view at least, isn’t so much a disorder as a different way of seeing the world, and your relationship to it. That’s what “Through My Eyes” is about, and also, we have discovered, what Currambena is about!
Through My Eyes is available for download on iTunes Australia now (for $1.69), and all proceeds go to Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect).
It’s on YouTube too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HwDXoHnVxY
with love, Valerie

Tommy Horn (of Fran’s Class) now has a baby sister. His proud parents, Ann and Mark, are even prouder. The baby, LEILA CONSTANCE TWYNAM HORN, arrived in a big hurry on Wednesday 19 August. She weighed 3.85 kg and is 51cm long. Ann and Leila look forward to visiting the school soon.
