The children thoroughly enjoyed the visit by indigenous dancer, Jacob Boehme, today as part of our ‘Magical Tales’ unit of inquiry. Jacob is a Melbourne born and based artist of Aboriginal heritage, from the Narrangga (Yorke Peninsula) and Kaurna (Adelaide Plains) nations of South Australia. We were lucky enough to have Jacob spend the morning with our Year 1s, retelling us the Boon Wurrung story of Bunjil Creating Man and then teaching us the dance and the song of this story.
The students also loved the National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday morning, when all of Cornish College gathered in the gym to share in a very entertaining reading of Aaron Blabey's "The Brother's Quibble".
On Wednesday afternoon the Year 9 and 10 Outdoor Education students introduced the very excited Year 1s to orienteering! Our students enjoyed working in small teams with their senior buddies to complete the orienteering course.
Another reminder that iPads need to come to school fully charged. Please remind and help your child to plug it in each evening so that it will be fully charged for the next school day.
When wearing their Sports uniform, students are required to wear their tracksuit pants and spray jacket to and from school. They may wear their sports shorts under their tracksuit pants and change into these during the day. When wearing Winter uniform students must wear their blazer to and from school.
There will be no Show and Share next week or Week 9 as we will be using this time to help the students prepare for their next summative assessment task.
The Prep - Year 2 Music Recital will take place on Tuesday 9th June at 9.15 - 10.30am in the Sustainability Centre.
