School Camps
Many thanks to the parents who returned the Camp Feedback forms over the last few
weeks. At School Council it was decided that we have camps for grade 3/4 and 5/6 this
year and next with the view to whether our Camping Program becomes a biennial
event from 2019.
I am pleased to announce that our Grade 3/4 Camp will be held at Adanac CYC Camp in
Yarra Junction from 19th July-21st July.
Our Grade 5/6 Camp has now been finalised and will be held at Forest Edge, Nerrim
East from the 18th-20th September.
All details of camps and costings will be forwarded next week.
Lions Club
Every second Friday a number of Vermont Lion’s Club members are coming to WASPS
to work with a group of students to build and construct a number of projects around
the school.
This Friday will begin the installation and replacement of seating around the oval. The
students have already removed the old and rotten seats and dug the holes in
preparation for the new seats.
Other projects identified are the rejuvenation of our Veggie garden, painting free
standing wall, general gardening, new signage and more.
We thank the Vermont Lion’s Club for their continued support of our school.
STEM Program
We are so fortunate at WASPS to have joined forces with Monash Science School in
providing specialised STEM lessons for selected students on Wednesday afternoons.
Mr. David Overton from Monash Science University along with a number of science
students run exciting, challenging and thought proving activities for the children.
Car Park
We still have a number of parents still using the staff carpark for drop off and pick up.
In the interests of the safety of all of our children please do not use the staff carpark.
We also ask that all parents and students enter and exit the school via the front gates,
once again to ensure the safety of all children.
Have a great long weekend everyone.

THIS WEEK AT THE HIVE …………………
Wednesday we took advantage of the
wonderful weather again today and went
outside to play. We went to the big kids
playground and had a run around to let out all
our extra energy!
On Tuesday we got gooey in the kitchen making mars bar
slice! We all took turns with the different steps to create the
most out of this world slices. While waiting for them to be
ready we went outside and played on the playground with
most of us playing 40/40
On Monday we went outside to enjoy the wonderful weather! We had the choice of inside
with relaxing activities or outside on the little kids playground with Matilda. Gemma and
Sophia decided to stay in and worked together to create different things!
On Wednesday we’ll be getting messy in the Hive kitchen. We’ll all be taking turns
measuring out the ingredients, cutting them all into portions and mixing
everything together! I wonder what delicious treats we’ll make today!
On Monday we’ll be testing the limits of the sky! We’re making paper planes
using different coloured pieces of paper and folding and creasing all different
shapes to create our own paper planes and then we’ll be testing their flying! I wonder whose will fly the furthest?!
On Friday its kids choice day! We’ll take
a vote and see who wants to get outside
for some group games or free play, do
some cooking or get into the art room to
create something special.
On Tuesday we’ll head out to the big kids
playground to get some sun. We will play
some group games like Giants Treasure
using our team work skills to steal the
treasure before the Giant catches us!
Thursday we’re going to get outdoors, get
some Vitamin D and enjoy some of our
favourite games. We’ll play games like
Octopus and have a run around on the
big kids playground!

Come and see what’s happening in
Grade 1B
The classes in level 1 and 2 have been working on our Big Idea topic of “Brave,
Brilliant and Oh So Resilient” throughout Term One. So far, we have discussed
identifying our emotions and the various levels we can experience in each ‘feelings
family’, recognising other people’s emotions, understanding and demonstrating
empathy, right through to social problem solving. This week, our attention turned to
positive coping strategies.
It is not uncommon for children of all ages to experience frustration,
disappointment, or even anger when situations, experiences, or their own personal
efforts do not result in the outcomes they had anticipated. However, ‘positive coping’
aims to provide students with practical strategies to apply to everyday situations in
order to redirect their energies and return to a calm emotional state.
Our activity this week included a “When Something’s Bugging Me” butterfly,
where children decorated the wings with some of the positive coping strategies we
had discussed they could use when they notice that they are feeling frustrated, sad,
or anxious.
One of the most pleasing outcomes of our Big Idea topic has been when our
students have applied their new knowledge and skills in real-life settings, both within
the classroom and on the playground. It has been wonderful to hear our students
proudly discussing how they have applied their skills to ‘real-life’ situations, along
with the positive effects their new knowledge has had. We are all looking forward to
learning more about being ‘Brave, Brilliant and Oh So Resilient’ over the coming
weeks.
