NSW Bushfire Mufti Day
Thank you to the immense generosity of the Preparatory Redlands Community, a sum of $1940.00 was raised and this, combined with the Junior and Secondary Schools’ efforts, will be donated to the Red Cross Fire Appeal. An additional $400 was raised from the recent Yr 1 disco, which will also be dedicated to this appeal.
Investigations in TG
Transition Gold have been investigating and problem solving with their Yr 5 buddies. An interesting project started when Leah (TG) came up with an idea to make clothes out of paper. After brainstorming and reading the book What do you do with an Idea? by Yamada and Besom, the class decided to think up ideas for themselves. With 28 ideas in the class, TG asked for help from Yr 5 buddies. Watching their ideas come to life with the use of technology was very exciting as the Yr 5 students used their iPads to make documentaries and films. A special thank you to Mrs Bennyworth and her Yr 5 class, for helping TG and showing the younger children what you can do when knowledge and passion come together.
Anglicare Toys ‘n’ Tucker Campaign
Helping young children learn the joy of giving to others is always a delight. Preparatory School families have an opportunity to share the joy of Christmas by giving to the Anglicare Toys ‘n’ Tucker campaign. If you would like to be involved by purchasing a toy or special Christmas food, please bring in your gifts and either give them to your class teacher or place them under the Christmas trees in the Prep or Junior School Receptions. Ideas for items to purchase can be found below. Collections begin on Monday 18 November and conclude Tuesday 3 December.
