Wendy’s Class Week 8 Term 4
Another busy week for us with some very special moments!
Many thanks to Genevieve for organising the excursion for Year 6 kids to make T-shirts at print studio, PeteVToby, with Marco. They all had a fabulous time and returned with T shirts emblazoned with their chosen symbols and all their names. Many thanks to Sido and Cathy for driving and being there, too.
On Tuesday, many of the Year 6s had their orientation days at their respective high schools. Balmain High, Mosman, Barrenjoey, Cameraygal and Turramurra High Schools and Lindfield Learning Village all had Currambena visitors. Redlands had a Currambena visitor a few weeks ago. The feedback was overall quite positive, potential friends, friendly teachers and engaging activities were reported. I hope you are enjoying reading all the My Time at Currambena reminiscences. I have no idea why so many of the children are choosing to write their My Time pieces in sections called Kindergarten, Grade 1 etc when Currambena classes are always called something different! Maybe it’s part of the process of leaving and getting their heads around how it will be for the next six years for each of them!
On Wednesday morning, Moses Aaron, retired story-teller and long time Currambena friend, came to give a final story telling performance for our group before his complete retirement. Thank you to the parents who came along and thank you to the children for being the best possible audience for him. I think we all enjoyed the stories, especially the scary one at the end, and Moses was delighted as always by the responsiveness and engagement from the children. He has told stories at schools all over eastern Australia and Currambena is his favourite!
Also on Wednesday, we had cooking in Spanish thanks to Carolina and her helpers. We had an ancient Roman feast in Latin with slaves serving food to masters in the triclinium. We also had pancakes cooking in the room as a diary free alternative!
PIP presentations have been going really well. It is so beautiful to see the growth in confidence of the children since the start of the year. Some of the Year 6 Leavers have chosen the same PIP topic that they chose for their first Currambena PIP. Very cute.
Nothing much else to say but SUNSHINE SUNSHINE SUNSHINE for camp please! I’ll send separate emails for our group about final details.
Have a great week everyone. We’ll send some photos.
Love,
Wendy
