They really keep me on my toes!!! See more

23.01.2022 Drama Update With Mr Spencer In drama recently, the children have been looking at scripted work. After a lot of improvised drama work leading up to this, we have been learning about how to read and follow stage directions. Character development has also been a focus. Children are continuing to learn how to use our body, our voice and our mannerisms to engage an audience and sustain a character. Props have been used where needed to add to our character and create meaning. ... There has also been some fun mask work with PP children. When we can’t speak, we need to learn how to use our body and movement to portray a character. The children have been very engaged in drama lessons so far. We have many talented performers among us!

23.01.2022 The Music Room is feeling very lonely..so I thought I would make a video for the children to say 'HI' to it ;-) This has been added in all Music classes on Connect...make sure you keep checking Connect so you don't miss info! Mr S https://youtu.be/KSiXy50UDJ4

22.01.2022 You Can Do It: Getting Along Students in Year 3, T7, have been learning how to think first before you act, which is a very important life skill for all of us. One aspect of this is learning how to accept everyone, even if they are a little different. Celebrating uniqueness and diversity is important in life. As a part of YCDI, we also learn that following the rules is one of the things which help us get along with each other. Thanks to the amazing children and Mrs Leak in T7 for sharing their work.

22.01.2022 A big thank you to Dennis Jones (left) and Neil Rodgers (right) from Lions Club of Ellenbrook, for the kind donation of books to Aveley Primary School today. The selection of books are from this year's Oz Read Program. The program was initiated by the Lions Club of Ellenbrook in 2008 to provide local schools with a range of quality Australian books suitable for students from kindy to year 6, to promote literacy, curiosity, knowledge and a love of reading. Thank you and we ap...preciate your support and kindness. A reminder also that it is our Book Week dress up next Thursday, 27 August. We look forward to seeing some creative creations from both staff and students.

22.01.2022 We are full 'STEM' ahead here again today in Year 1! After hearing about the plastics clogging up our oceans, the students are creating a tool that can remove plastics from our oceans. They have had to design it, make it and then test it! Here are some of the clever students in T4 & B4 hard at work.

21.01.2022 Term 3 here we come! The Year 5 teachers are looking forward finding out what has been trampling through the classrooms over the break!

18.01.2022 Music Count Us In A reminder that tomorrow is Music Count Us In Day. Since 2012 we have participated in this Australia wide simultaneous singing event. This is a fantastic event to celebrate Music, communal singing and also encourages children to write music and perform together. Over 600 000 students will be participating along with us. We will be congregating all of the P-6 students at 10:30am on the school oval tomorrow. We would love to invite all parents and guardians to come and stand around the edge of the school oval and hear us sing this year's song. We all love an audience... and we have been working hard for a long time to learn the song.

18.01.2022 Our very clever students in Year 2, T5 have been busy investigating popstick catapults as part of their STEM Learning. They should be very proud of the awesome creations they came up with today in their teams!

17.01.2022 On Tuesday 18th August, 75 students from Year 5 with their teachers and some parent helpers had the opportunity to visit Perth Zoo as their Indonesian excursion. It was a unique and enjoyable opportunity for the students to be immersed in the Indonesian language outside the classroom. The excursion took the students in a journey through Asian Rain forest and discover the incredible diversity of life that is found there. Students learnt to identify the animal adaptations and interactions required to survive in this unique environment. Ibu Yang INDONESIAN LANGUAGE SPECIALIST

11.01.2022 The Year 5 students participated in an Indonesian cooking lesson today. During the lesson, the students made Lumpia/Spring Rolls. The students not only learn the Indonesian Language but also experience the delicious Indonesian cuisine. The students had a fun time making the spring rolls, and most of all, enjoyed eating them! Thanks Ibu Yang!

11.01.2022 These robot-making, coding super-star Year 5's from T11 visited the office today with their preliminary findings as they looks at how they can apply the working parts of these simple lego robots to their exciting STEM challenge they are working on. They had some great ideas to share and we cant wait to see their final products!

The students have taken them home to be planted and watch them grow into flowers! We can't wait to see how their plants grow :)

09.01.2022 CHRISTMAS CHOIR-TOMORROW (Wednesday) Dear Parents/Carers, As we have done each year since the school opened, we will be performing as a choir at a local Christmas Carols event. This will be the Ellenbrook Christmas Festival, held on Saturday, 12 December. This year, students from Year Two-Six are invited to participate in this exciting opportunity. Our performance time is not yet confirmed but is likely to be late in the afternoon.... As we have done in the past, we will be conducting rehearsals before school on Wednesday mornings from 8:00-8.30am. We will begin these rehearsals on Wednesday, 11 November, in the Music Room. Students will need to enter through the school office and will be released to go to their classrooms at 8.30am. This timeline allows us to complete sufficient rehearsals to learn the songs for the event. Last year we had over 60 children in our mega-choir performing a variety of songs, so I am looking forward to having an amazing group once again. It is an expectation that students attend all rehearsals, which will enable us to be as prepared as possible in the numerous song items we will be performing. We will also deliver a performance at the end of year Book Awards Assembly, in Week 10. If you have any further questions, please feel free to come and have a chat (Monday-Thursday are my work days) or email me any time.

06.01.2022 You Can Do It As a whole school, we have been implementing the You Can Do It program. This program helps children develop 5 keys, or positive attitudes and social-emotional skills. These are resilience, confidence, persistence, organisation and getting along. We now have a physical version of these keys! In partnership with Ellenbrook Secondary College, we have three sets to display around our school. The year 7 Design and Technologies students from ESC, along with Ms Shaloni Naik used their skills to make our amazing keys. Some of our Year 6 children from last year assisted in this project, which is fantastic. We would like to thank them very much for their hard work in creating these keys for us! We hope you will enjoy seeing them around our school very soon.

06.01.2022 As a part of our new outdoor classroom development project, we are looking to include an amphitheatre. This will support students with a number of outcomes, including those in performing arts, as well as other teaching and learning and recreational opportunities. A working committee will be formed to guide the planning and construction of this project. We are looking for interested community members from within our school who are able to have input into the final structure. ... This could include landscapers, limestone construction workers and others simply willing to pick up a shovel and help out. I am looking for interested parents or community members to provide valuable input and resources to assist with this. If you have an interest in this project, or have any contacts that may be useful, please email me - [email protected]. Thank you Chris Spencer PERFORMING ARTS SPECIALIST TEACHER

We then drew our own poppies over a copy of For the Fallen.
