Literacy is the lynchpin of an effective education and should not be relegated to the subject of English Instead literacy skills must be explicitly taught in all key learning areas A studentrsquos achievement in Mathematics Art or Physical Education for example depends on well-developed literacy skills relevant to that subject

Lyn Sharatt author of Clarity What matters most in learning teaching and leading identifies eight components of high impact literacy development

1 Oral language which is about social interaction and hence one way that everyone develops literacy Therefore all lessons should include opportunities for students to use oral language to engage in group and team learning ask or answer questions and express their understanding or point of view

2 Reading comprehension which is about students reading fluently with understanding Therefore all lessons should provide students with the opportunity and support to analyse spoken written andor visual texts with a focus on inferring comparing visualising predicting synthesising questioning connecting contracting and summarising information

3 Critical literacy which is about analysing and evaluating the complete meaning of a text and the authorrsquos intent Therefore effective teaching

instruction should provide students with the opportunity and support to engage with known and unfamiliar texts and to engage in deep thinking and reflection about these texts

4 Writing which is about being a writer to become a better reader Therefore to develop literacy skills teachers must treat reading and writing as inseparable and ensure that both occur every day in all key learning areas

5 Accountable talk which is about students developing literacy by owning and presenting their thoughts and reflecting and responding to the thoughts of others Therefore teachers must develop the personal and social capability of students to be collaborative and active learners and explicitly teach them the techniques required to articulate their deep knowledge and understanding of a text

6 Gradual release and acceptance of responsibility which is about scaffolding learning from high teacher support to low teacher support Therefore teachers must have the high expectation that students will take ownership of their reading and writing for learning through independent practice and application

7 Differentiated instruction which is about matching teaching instruction to student ability and interest to meet learning outcomes Therefore to improve literacy teachers must know what students need why they need it and what teaching strategies and resources will meet those needs

8 Higher order thinking is about students developing literacy by engaging with information to solve problems and create new (for them) meanings and understandings Therefore teachers must access and use a range of quality and challenging texts that stretch their studentsrsquo thinking

Every teacher should use these eight components to explicitly teach literacy skills in every subject area All teachers must see themselves first as literacy teachers with literacy learning being the foundation of all teaching instruction and student success

We had a marvellous Harmony Week celebration at school The Kindergarten children all looked amazing representing their cultural heritage in colourful traditional clothing The passports were checked and off they flew around the courtyard The children got to visit South Korea Greece Ireland and Australia Everyone learnt a lot about each country and had fun participating in various activities Each child had their passport stamped in each country Hopefully they will all get to travel around the world with an actual passport when they grow up

We have been working hard in class to improve our reading and writing skills The teachers are all impressed with the real progress every child has made since starting school this year Keep up the home reading As part of our Phonics Program we have made ldquoToastrdquo for T and ldquoFairy breadrdquo for F this term Yum

Term One has been a very active and busy term involving many great events and learning programs

The whole of Stage One went to see lsquoThe Gruffalorsquos Childrsquo performance at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta The students enjoyed watching the live performance the characters and theatrical experience

As part of our Science learning we have all been out in the gardens collecting plants looking at soil and then testing the quality of the soil We also have been discussing the importance of composting in our community

Our focus topic in History is lsquoFamilies Past and Presentrsquo This has been a very interesting topic as it lends itself to talk about studentsrsquo families cultural backgrounds languages spoken at home and different types of families We have had great discussions about the different families that represent Ashfield Public School community

We also celebrated a wonderful Harmony Day We learnt about a variety of different countries including Korea Ireland Greece Japan Thailand China India and Aboriginal culture The students and staff dressed up for the day working and learning showing respect and uniting in harmony

Itrsquos a shame to see Jellybeans coming to an end as the students are all enjoying singing learning to read and play musical notes with percussion instruments

We look forward to bringing you more news as Term Two rolls in

Stage 2Stage PageWhat a very unusual term All students have been working hard in class dedicating themselves to their Jellybean lessons and enjoying their Triple E activities

Science has seen us learning about living things and students have been using ICT to create a poster or PowerPoint We have been using the amazing native bees at school for inspiration and taking notes researching and being creative

The students continue to show enthusiasm with accelerated reader and are very excited to show their TOPS reports to their parents This is a great time to sit with each other and have a conversation about their book ask questions and to understand the accelerated reader process

Unfortunately Stage 2 couldnrsquot attend their excursion to Muru Mittigar Cultural Educational Centre Despite not being able to attend the students have continued to do some amazing research in class as part of their History Unit The students have been using laptops for note taking and are getting creative with a presentation to show their class

Harmony Day was a huge success among Stage 2 and the students enjoyed their round the world trips into classrooms They embraced the culture of each different activity and demonstrated a good understanding and respectfulness to each new place and the importance of the activity Harmony Day is a great way to celebrate all the wonderful cultures we have here at Ashfield PS

The

News RoomPros and Cons of Online Learning

Pros

Provides quick and easy data collection Teachers have access to real-time assessment of student progress and can tailor programs to individualised learning needs

Facilitates life skills through independent learning Students learn self-reliance and confidence for a lifetime of learning

Allows personalised learning at multiple levels Students move through subjects at their own pace and can sometimes customize learning with different modes of media

Frees up teacher time Teachers may work with students one on one or in small groups while the rest of the class is involved in independent online learning

Cons

Discourages student engagement Cookie-cutter approach to learning in some digital curricula leads to boredom

Inhibits student motivation Students struggling in a particular subject may need teacher direction

Requires extensive parent commitment For younger students parent involvement at home is critical

Inhibits development of social-emotional skills Interaction with classmates in discussions and hands-on projects is critical especially for younger children

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

Literacy is the lynchpin of an effective education and should not be relegated to the subject of English Instead literacy skills must be explicitly taught in all key learning areas A studentrsquos achievement in Mathematics Art or Physical Education for example depends on well-developed literacy skills relevant to that subject

Lyn Sharatt author of Clarity What matters most in learning teaching and leading identifies eight components of high impact literacy development

1 Oral language which is about social interaction and hence one way that everyone develops literacy Therefore all lessons should include opportunities for students to use oral language to engage in group and team learning ask or answer questions and express their understanding or point of view

2 Reading comprehension which is about students reading fluently with understanding Therefore all lessons should provide students with the opportunity and support to analyse spoken written andor visual texts with a focus on inferring comparing visualising predicting synthesising questioning connecting contracting and summarising information

3 Critical literacy which is about analysing and evaluating the complete meaning of a text and the authorrsquos intent Therefore effective teaching

instruction should provide students with the opportunity and support to engage with known and unfamiliar texts and to engage in deep thinking and reflection about these texts

4 Writing which is about being a writer to become a better reader Therefore to develop literacy skills teachers must treat reading and writing as inseparable and ensure that both occur every day in all key learning areas

5 Accountable talk which is about students developing literacy by owning and presenting their thoughts and reflecting and responding to the thoughts of others Therefore teachers must develop the personal and social capability of students to be collaborative and active learners and explicitly teach them the techniques required to articulate their deep knowledge and understanding of a text

6 Gradual release and acceptance of responsibility which is about scaffolding learning from high teacher support to low teacher support Therefore teachers must have the high expectation that students will take ownership of their reading and writing for learning through independent practice and application

7 Differentiated instruction which is about matching teaching instruction to student ability and interest to meet learning outcomes Therefore to improve literacy teachers must know what students need why they need it and what teaching strategies and resources will meet those needs

8 Higher order thinking is about students developing literacy by engaging with information to solve problems and create new (for them) meanings and understandings Therefore teachers must access and use a range of quality and challenging texts that stretch their studentsrsquo thinking

Every teacher should use these eight components to explicitly teach literacy skills in every subject area All teachers must see themselves first as literacy teachers with literacy learning being the foundation of all teaching instruction and student success

We had a marvellous Harmony Week celebration at school The Kindergarten children all looked amazing representing their cultural heritage in colourful traditional clothing The passports were checked and off they flew around the courtyard The children got to visit South Korea Greece Ireland and Australia Everyone learnt a lot about each country and had fun participating in various activities Each child had their passport stamped in each country Hopefully they will all get to travel around the world with an actual passport when they grow up

We have been working hard in class to improve our reading and writing skills The teachers are all impressed with the real progress every child has made since starting school this year Keep up the home reading As part of our Phonics Program we have made ldquoToastrdquo for T and ldquoFairy breadrdquo for F this term Yum

Term One has been a very active and busy term involving many great events and learning programs

The whole of Stage One went to see lsquoThe Gruffalorsquos Childrsquo performance at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta The students enjoyed watching the live performance the characters and theatrical experience

As part of our Science learning we have all been out in the gardens collecting plants looking at soil and then testing the quality of the soil We also have been discussing the importance of composting in our community

Our focus topic in History is lsquoFamilies Past and Presentrsquo This has been a very interesting topic as it lends itself to talk about studentsrsquo families cultural backgrounds languages spoken at home and different types of families We have had great discussions about the different families that represent Ashfield Public School community

We also celebrated a wonderful Harmony Day We learnt about a variety of different countries including Korea Ireland Greece Japan Thailand China India and Aboriginal culture The students and staff dressed up for the day working and learning showing respect and uniting in harmony

Itrsquos a shame to see Jellybeans coming to an end as the students are all enjoying singing learning to read and play musical notes with percussion instruments

We look forward to bringing you more news as Term Two rolls in

Stage 2Stage PageWhat a very unusual term All students have been working hard in class dedicating themselves to their Jellybean lessons and enjoying their Triple E activities

Science has seen us learning about living things and students have been using ICT to create a poster or PowerPoint We have been using the amazing native bees at school for inspiration and taking notes researching and being creative

The students continue to show enthusiasm with accelerated reader and are very excited to show their TOPS reports to their parents This is a great time to sit with each other and have a conversation about their book ask questions and to understand the accelerated reader process

Unfortunately Stage 2 couldnrsquot attend their excursion to Muru Mittigar Cultural Educational Centre Despite not being able to attend the students have continued to do some amazing research in class as part of their History Unit The students have been using laptops for note taking and are getting creative with a presentation to show their class

Harmony Day was a huge success among Stage 2 and the students enjoyed their round the world trips into classrooms They embraced the culture of each different activity and demonstrated a good understanding and respectfulness to each new place and the importance of the activity Harmony Day is a great way to celebrate all the wonderful cultures we have here at Ashfield PS

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

LACLA ReportLACLA (Let African Children Learn Association)

Not everyone are as lucky as we are here in Australia We have so much that we take for granted like fresh food clean water and most of all an extensive education But in Zambia Africa these assets are not as common For instance take education In Zambia most students and their families do not have enough money to afford adequate schooling so they do not have access to learning important life skills That is why LACLA is here to help LACLA is an organisation that supports and empowers school age children in Zambia who cannot afford an education By promoting donations and fundraisers from all around the school community we can help to give them the same opportunities as us Recently we had our school mufti day which was a fundraiser for LACLA and we are so happy with how much we all raised We thank you all once again for the donations of four hundred and six dollars Congratulations to everyone who brought in their gold coin donation Throughout the year more opportunities to donate will come up For now just remember to keep filling the bucket in your classroom and when you have a spare coin think about the children in Zambia

Dear Lonely Louise

We can understand how you feel You should either make some better friends or go up to your friends or tell them that you are not happy with the way they are treating you If they continue to behave in this manner tell a teacher and they will surely put a stop to this atrociousness

Literacy is the lynchpin of an effective education and should not be relegated to the subject of English Instead literacy skills must be explicitly taught in all key learning areas A studentrsquos achievement in Mathematics Art or Physical Education for example depends on well-developed literacy skills relevant to that subject

Lyn Sharatt author of Clarity What matters most in learning teaching and leading identifies eight components of high impact literacy development

1 Oral language which is about social interaction and hence one way that everyone develops literacy Therefore all lessons should include opportunities for students to use oral language to engage in group and team learning ask or answer questions and express their understanding or point of view

2 Reading comprehension which is about students reading fluently with understanding Therefore all lessons should provide students with the opportunity and support to analyse spoken written andor visual texts with a focus on inferring comparing visualising predicting synthesising questioning connecting contracting and summarising information

3 Critical literacy which is about analysing and evaluating the complete meaning of a text and the authorrsquos intent Therefore effective teaching

instruction should provide students with the opportunity and support to engage with known and unfamiliar texts and to engage in deep thinking and reflection about these texts

4 Writing which is about being a writer to become a better reader Therefore to develop literacy skills teachers must treat reading and writing as inseparable and ensure that both occur every day in all key learning areas

5 Accountable talk which is about students developing literacy by owning and presenting their thoughts and reflecting and responding to the thoughts of others Therefore teachers must develop the personal and social capability of students to be collaborative and active learners and explicitly teach them the techniques required to articulate their deep knowledge and understanding of a text

6 Gradual release and acceptance of responsibility which is about scaffolding learning from high teacher support to low teacher support Therefore teachers must have the high expectation that students will take ownership of their reading and writing for learning through independent practice and application

7 Differentiated instruction which is about matching teaching instruction to student ability and interest to meet learning outcomes Therefore to improve literacy teachers must know what students need why they need it and what teaching strategies and resources will meet those needs

8 Higher order thinking is about students developing literacy by engaging with information to solve problems and create new (for them) meanings and understandings Therefore teachers must access and use a range of quality and challenging texts that stretch their studentsrsquo thinking

Every teacher should use these eight components to explicitly teach literacy skills in every subject area All teachers must see themselves first as literacy teachers with literacy learning being the foundation of all teaching instruction and student success

We had a marvellous Harmony Week celebration at school The Kindergarten children all looked amazing representing their cultural heritage in colourful traditional clothing The passports were checked and off they flew around the courtyard The children got to visit South Korea Greece Ireland and Australia Everyone learnt a lot about each country and had fun participating in various activities Each child had their passport stamped in each country Hopefully they will all get to travel around the world with an actual passport when they grow up

We have been working hard in class to improve our reading and writing skills The teachers are all impressed with the real progress every child has made since starting school this year Keep up the home reading As part of our Phonics Program we have made ldquoToastrdquo for T and ldquoFairy breadrdquo for F this term Yum

Term One has been a very active and busy term involving many great events and learning programs

The whole of Stage One went to see lsquoThe Gruffalorsquos Childrsquo performance at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta The students enjoyed watching the live performance the characters and theatrical experience

As part of our Science learning we have all been out in the gardens collecting plants looking at soil and then testing the quality of the soil We also have been discussing the importance of composting in our community

Our focus topic in History is lsquoFamilies Past and Presentrsquo This has been a very interesting topic as it lends itself to talk about studentsrsquo families cultural backgrounds languages spoken at home and different types of families We have had great discussions about the different families that represent Ashfield Public School community

We also celebrated a wonderful Harmony Day We learnt about a variety of different countries including Korea Ireland Greece Japan Thailand China India and Aboriginal culture The students and staff dressed up for the day working and learning showing respect and uniting in harmony

Itrsquos a shame to see Jellybeans coming to an end as the students are all enjoying singing learning to read and play musical notes with percussion instruments

We look forward to bringing you more news as Term Two rolls in

Stage 2Stage PageWhat a very unusual term All students have been working hard in class dedicating themselves to their Jellybean lessons and enjoying their Triple E activities

Science has seen us learning about living things and students have been using ICT to create a poster or PowerPoint We have been using the amazing native bees at school for inspiration and taking notes researching and being creative

The students continue to show enthusiasm with accelerated reader and are very excited to show their TOPS reports to their parents This is a great time to sit with each other and have a conversation about their book ask questions and to understand the accelerated reader process

Unfortunately Stage 2 couldnrsquot attend their excursion to Muru Mittigar Cultural Educational Centre Despite not being able to attend the students have continued to do some amazing research in class as part of their History Unit The students have been using laptops for note taking and are getting creative with a presentation to show their class

Harmony Day was a huge success among Stage 2 and the students enjoyed their round the world trips into classrooms They embraced the culture of each different activity and demonstrated a good understanding and respectfulness to each new place and the importance of the activity Harmony Day is a great way to celebrate all the wonderful cultures we have here at Ashfield PS

Remember to keep up the home reading and follow all the Stage 2 teachers on Twitter Keep up to date with everything happening at Ashfield PS on our eNews app and see your classroom teacher if you need help downloading this

The

News RoomPros and Cons of Online Learning

Pros

Offers learn-at-your-own-rate flexibility Students have access to learning anytime and anywhere

Provides quick and easy data collection Teachers have access to real-time assessment of student progress and can tailor programs to individualised learning needs

Facilitates life skills through independent learning Students learn self-reliance and confidence for a lifetime of learning

Allows personalised learning at multiple levels Students move through subjects at their own pace and can sometimes customize learning with different modes of media

Frees up teacher time Teachers may work with students one on one or in small groups while the rest of the class is involved in independent online learning

Cons

Discourages student engagement Cookie-cutter approach to learning in some digital curricula leads to boredom

Inhibits student motivation Students struggling in a particular subject may need teacher direction

Requires extensive parent commitment For younger students parent involvement at home is critical

Inhibits development of social-emotional skills Interaction with classmates in discussions and hands-on projects is critical especially for younger children

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

LACLA ReportLACLA (Let African Children Learn Association)

Not everyone are as lucky as we are here in Australia We have so much that we take for granted like fresh food clean water and most of all an extensive education But in Zambia Africa these assets are not as common For instance take education In Zambia most students and their families do not have enough money to afford adequate schooling so they do not have access to learning important life skills That is why LACLA is here to help LACLA is an organisation that supports and empowers school age children in Zambia who cannot afford an education By promoting donations and fundraisers from all around the school community we can help to give them the same opportunities as us Recently we had our school mufti day which was a fundraiser for LACLA and we are so happy with how much we all raised We thank you all once again for the donations of four hundred and six dollars Congratulations to everyone who brought in their gold coin donation Throughout the year more opportunities to donate will come up For now just remember to keep filling the bucket in your classroom and when you have a spare coin think about the children in Zambia

We had a marvellous Harmony Week celebration at school The Kindergarten children all looked amazing representing their cultural heritage in colourful traditional clothing The passports were checked and off they flew around the courtyard The children got to visit South Korea Greece Ireland and Australia Everyone learnt a lot about each country and had fun participating in various activities Each child had their passport stamped in each country Hopefully they will all get to travel around the world with an actual passport when they grow up

We have been working hard in class to improve our reading and writing skills The teachers are all impressed with the real progress every child has made since starting school this year Keep up the home reading As part of our Phonics Program we have made ldquoToastrdquo for T and ldquoFairy breadrdquo for F this term Yum

Term One has been a very active and busy term involving many great events and learning programs

The whole of Stage One went to see lsquoThe Gruffalorsquos Childrsquo performance at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta The students enjoyed watching the live performance the characters and theatrical experience

As part of our Science learning we have all been out in the gardens collecting plants looking at soil and then testing the quality of the soil We also have been discussing the importance of composting in our community

Our focus topic in History is lsquoFamilies Past and Presentrsquo This has been a very interesting topic as it lends itself to talk about studentsrsquo families cultural backgrounds languages spoken at home and different types of families We have had great discussions about the different families that represent Ashfield Public School community

We also celebrated a wonderful Harmony Day We learnt about a variety of different countries including Korea Ireland Greece Japan Thailand China India and Aboriginal culture The students and staff dressed up for the day working and learning showing respect and uniting in harmony

Itrsquos a shame to see Jellybeans coming to an end as the students are all enjoying singing learning to read and play musical notes with percussion instruments

We look forward to bringing you more news as Term Two rolls in

Stage 2Stage PageWhat a very unusual term All students have been working hard in class dedicating themselves to their Jellybean lessons and enjoying their Triple E activities

Science has seen us learning about living things and students have been using ICT to create a poster or PowerPoint We have been using the amazing native bees at school for inspiration and taking notes researching and being creative

The students continue to show enthusiasm with accelerated reader and are very excited to show their TOPS reports to their parents This is a great time to sit with each other and have a conversation about their book ask questions and to understand the accelerated reader process

Unfortunately Stage 2 couldnrsquot attend their excursion to Muru Mittigar Cultural Educational Centre Despite not being able to attend the students have continued to do some amazing research in class as part of their History Unit The students have been using laptops for note taking and are getting creative with a presentation to show their class

Harmony Day was a huge success among Stage 2 and the students enjoyed their round the world trips into classrooms They embraced the culture of each different activity and demonstrated a good understanding and respectfulness to each new place and the importance of the activity Harmony Day is a great way to celebrate all the wonderful cultures we have here at Ashfield PS

Remember to keep up the home reading and follow all the Stage 2 teachers on Twitter Keep up to date with everything happening at Ashfield PS on our eNews app and see your classroom teacher if you need help downloading this

The

News RoomPros and Cons of Online Learning

Pros

Offers learn-at-your-own-rate flexibility Students have access to learning anytime and anywhere

Provides quick and easy data collection Teachers have access to real-time assessment of student progress and can tailor programs to individualised learning needs

Facilitates life skills through independent learning Students learn self-reliance and confidence for a lifetime of learning

Allows personalised learning at multiple levels Students move through subjects at their own pace and can sometimes customize learning with different modes of media

Frees up teacher time Teachers may work with students one on one or in small groups while the rest of the class is involved in independent online learning

Cons

Discourages student engagement Cookie-cutter approach to learning in some digital curricula leads to boredom

Inhibits student motivation Students struggling in a particular subject may need teacher direction

Requires extensive parent commitment For younger students parent involvement at home is critical

Inhibits development of social-emotional skills Interaction with classmates in discussions and hands-on projects is critical especially for younger children

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

LACLA ReportLACLA (Let African Children Learn Association)

Not everyone are as lucky as we are here in Australia We have so much that we take for granted like fresh food clean water and most of all an extensive education But in Zambia Africa these assets are not as common For instance take education In Zambia most students and their families do not have enough money to afford adequate schooling so they do not have access to learning important life skills That is why LACLA is here to help LACLA is an organisation that supports and empowers school age children in Zambia who cannot afford an education By promoting donations and fundraisers from all around the school community we can help to give them the same opportunities as us Recently we had our school mufti day which was a fundraiser for LACLA and we are so happy with how much we all raised We thank you all once again for the donations of four hundred and six dollars Congratulations to everyone who brought in their gold coin donation Throughout the year more opportunities to donate will come up For now just remember to keep filling the bucket in your classroom and when you have a spare coin think about the children in Zambia

We had a marvellous Harmony Week celebration at school The Kindergarten children all looked amazing representing their cultural heritage in colourful traditional clothing The passports were checked and off they flew around the courtyard The children got to visit South Korea Greece Ireland and Australia Everyone learnt a lot about each country and had fun participating in various activities Each child had their passport stamped in each country Hopefully they will all get to travel around the world with an actual passport when they grow up

We have been working hard in class to improve our reading and writing skills The teachers are all impressed with the real progress every child has made since starting school this year Keep up the home reading As part of our Phonics Program we have made ldquoToastrdquo for T and ldquoFairy breadrdquo for F this term Yum

Term One has been a very active and busy term involving many great events and learning programs

The whole of Stage One went to see lsquoThe Gruffalorsquos Childrsquo performance at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta The students enjoyed watching the live performance the characters and theatrical experience

As part of our Science learning we have all been out in the gardens collecting plants looking at soil and then testing the quality of the soil We also have been discussing the importance of composting in our community

Our focus topic in History is lsquoFamilies Past and Presentrsquo This has been a very interesting topic as it lends itself to talk about studentsrsquo families cultural backgrounds languages spoken at home and different types of families We have had great discussions about the different families that represent Ashfield Public School community

We also celebrated a wonderful Harmony Day We learnt about a variety of different countries including Korea Ireland Greece Japan Thailand China India and Aboriginal culture The students and staff dressed up for the day working and learning showing respect and uniting in harmony

Itrsquos a shame to see Jellybeans coming to an end as the students are all enjoying singing learning to read and play musical notes with percussion instruments

We look forward to bringing you more news as Term Two rolls in

Stage 2Stage PageWhat a very unusual term All students have been working hard in class dedicating themselves to their Jellybean lessons and enjoying their Triple E activities

Science has seen us learning about living things and students have been using ICT to create a poster or PowerPoint We have been using the amazing native bees at school for inspiration and taking notes researching and being creative

The students continue to show enthusiasm with accelerated reader and are very excited to show their TOPS reports to their parents This is a great time to sit with each other and have a conversation about their book ask questions and to understand the accelerated reader process

Unfortunately Stage 2 couldnrsquot attend their excursion to Muru Mittigar Cultural Educational Centre Despite not being able to attend the students have continued to do some amazing research in class as part of their History Unit The students have been using laptops for note taking and are getting creative with a presentation to show their class

Harmony Day was a huge success among Stage 2 and the students enjoyed their round the world trips into classrooms They embraced the culture of each different activity and demonstrated a good understanding and respectfulness to each new place and the importance of the activity Harmony Day is a great way to celebrate all the wonderful cultures we have here at Ashfield PS

Remember to keep up the home reading and follow all the Stage 2 teachers on Twitter Keep up to date with everything happening at Ashfield PS on our eNews app and see your classroom teacher if you need help downloading this

The

News RoomPros and Cons of Online Learning

Pros

Offers learn-at-your-own-rate flexibility Students have access to learning anytime and anywhere

Provides quick and easy data collection Teachers have access to real-time assessment of student progress and can tailor programs to individualised learning needs

Facilitates life skills through independent learning Students learn self-reliance and confidence for a lifetime of learning

Allows personalised learning at multiple levels Students move through subjects at their own pace and can sometimes customize learning with different modes of media

Frees up teacher time Teachers may work with students one on one or in small groups while the rest of the class is involved in independent online learning

Cons

Discourages student engagement Cookie-cutter approach to learning in some digital curricula leads to boredom

Inhibits student motivation Students struggling in a particular subject may need teacher direction

Requires extensive parent commitment For younger students parent involvement at home is critical

Inhibits development of social-emotional skills Interaction with classmates in discussions and hands-on projects is critical especially for younger children

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

Not everyone are as lucky as we are here in Australia We have so much that we take for granted like fresh food clean water and most of all an extensive education But in Zambia Africa these assets are not as common For instance take education In Zambia most students and their families do not have enough money to afford adequate schooling so they do not have access to learning important life skills That is why LACLA is here to help LACLA is an organisation that supports and empowers school age children in Zambia who cannot afford an education By promoting donations and fundraisers from all around the school community we can help to give them the same opportunities as us Recently we had our school mufti day which was a fundraiser for LACLA and we are so happy with how much we all raised We thank you all once again for the donations of four hundred and six dollars Congratulations to everyone who brought in their gold coin donation Throughout the year more opportunities to donate will come up For now just remember to keep filling the bucket in your classroom and when you have a spare coin think about the children in Zambia

Term One has been a very active and busy term involving many great events and learning programs

The whole of Stage One went to see lsquoThe Gruffalorsquos Childrsquo performance at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta The students enjoyed watching the live performance the characters and theatrical experience

As part of our Science learning we have all been out in the gardens collecting plants looking at soil and then testing the quality of the soil We also have been discussing the importance of composting in our community

Our focus topic in History is lsquoFamilies Past and Presentrsquo This has been a very interesting topic as it lends itself to talk about studentsrsquo families cultural backgrounds languages spoken at home and different types of families We have had great discussions about the different families that represent Ashfield Public School community

We also celebrated a wonderful Harmony Day We learnt about a variety of different countries including Korea Ireland Greece Japan Thailand China India and Aboriginal culture The students and staff dressed up for the day working and learning showing respect and uniting in harmony

Itrsquos a shame to see Jellybeans coming to an end as the students are all enjoying singing learning to read and play musical notes with percussion instruments

We look forward to bringing you more news as Term Two rolls in

Stage 2Stage PageWhat a very unusual term All students have been working hard in class dedicating themselves to their Jellybean lessons and enjoying their Triple E activities

Science has seen us learning about living things and students have been using ICT to create a poster or PowerPoint We have been using the amazing native bees at school for inspiration and taking notes researching and being creative

The students continue to show enthusiasm with accelerated reader and are very excited to show their TOPS reports to their parents This is a great time to sit with each other and have a conversation about their book ask questions and to understand the accelerated reader process

Unfortunately Stage 2 couldnrsquot attend their excursion to Muru Mittigar Cultural Educational Centre Despite not being able to attend the students have continued to do some amazing research in class as part of their History Unit The students have been using laptops for note taking and are getting creative with a presentation to show their class

Harmony Day was a huge success among Stage 2 and the students enjoyed their round the world trips into classrooms They embraced the culture of each different activity and demonstrated a good understanding and respectfulness to each new place and the importance of the activity Harmony Day is a great way to celebrate all the wonderful cultures we have here at Ashfield PS

Remember to keep up the home reading and follow all the Stage 2 teachers on Twitter Keep up to date with everything happening at Ashfield PS on our eNews app and see your classroom teacher if you need help downloading this

Frees up teacher time Teachers may work with students one on one or in small groups while the rest of the class is involved in independent online learning

Cons

Discourages student engagement Cookie-cutter approach to learning in some digital curricula leads to boredom

Inhibits student motivation Students struggling in a particular subject may need teacher direction

Requires extensive parent commitment For younger students parent involvement at home is critical

Inhibits development of social-emotional skills Interaction with classmates in discussions and hands-on projects is critical especially for younger children

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

Stage 2Stage PageWhat a very unusual term All students have been working hard in class dedicating themselves to their Jellybean lessons and enjoying their Triple E activities

Science has seen us learning about living things and students have been using ICT to create a poster or PowerPoint We have been using the amazing native bees at school for inspiration and taking notes researching and being creative

The students continue to show enthusiasm with accelerated reader and are very excited to show their TOPS reports to their parents This is a great time to sit with each other and have a conversation about their book ask questions and to understand the accelerated reader process

Unfortunately Stage 2 couldnrsquot attend their excursion to Muru Mittigar Cultural Educational Centre Despite not being able to attend the students have continued to do some amazing research in class as part of their History Unit The students have been using laptops for note taking and are getting creative with a presentation to show their class

Harmony Day was a huge success among Stage 2 and the students enjoyed their round the world trips into classrooms They embraced the culture of each different activity and demonstrated a good understanding and respectfulness to each new place and the importance of the activity Harmony Day is a great way to celebrate all the wonderful cultures we have here at Ashfield PS

Remember to keep up the home reading and follow all the Stage 2 teachers on Twitter Keep up to date with everything happening at Ashfield PS on our eNews app and see your classroom teacher if you need help downloading this

The

News RoomPros and Cons of Online Learning

Pros

Offers learn-at-your-own-rate flexibility Students have access to learning anytime and anywhere

Provides quick and easy data collection Teachers have access to real-time assessment of student progress and can tailor programs to individualised learning needs

Facilitates life skills through independent learning Students learn self-reliance and confidence for a lifetime of learning

Allows personalised learning at multiple levels Students move through subjects at their own pace and can sometimes customize learning with different modes of media

Frees up teacher time Teachers may work with students one on one or in small groups while the rest of the class is involved in independent online learning

Cons

Discourages student engagement Cookie-cutter approach to learning in some digital curricula leads to boredom

Inhibits student motivation Students struggling in a particular subject may need teacher direction

Requires extensive parent commitment For younger students parent involvement at home is critical

Inhibits development of social-emotional skills Interaction with classmates in discussions and hands-on projects is critical especially for younger children

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

LACLA ReportLACLA (Let African Children Learn Association)

Not everyone are as lucky as we are here in Australia We have so much that we take for granted like fresh food clean water and most of all an extensive education But in Zambia Africa these assets are not as common For instance take education In Zambia most students and their families do not have enough money to afford adequate schooling so they do not have access to learning important life skills That is why LACLA is here to help LACLA is an organisation that supports and empowers school age children in Zambia who cannot afford an education By promoting donations and fundraisers from all around the school community we can help to give them the same opportunities as us Recently we had our school mufti day which was a fundraiser for LACLA and we are so happy with how much we all raised We thank you all once again for the donations of four hundred and six dollars Congratulations to everyone who brought in their gold coin donation Throughout the year more opportunities to donate will come up For now just remember to keep filling the bucket in your classroom and when you have a spare coin think about the children in Zambia

4 Pour into the flour mix whisk until the mixture is fluffy and smooth

5 Add the egg yolks one at a time and keep whisking until the batter is shiny

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

Method

1 Heat the chocolate syrup and stir in cinnamon and cayenne pepper Set aside and keep warm

2 To make the churros sift the flour baking powder cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl Make a well in the centre

3 Heat the water in a small saucepan until it comes to a boil Reduce the heat to a simmer add the brown sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved

4 Pour into the flour mix whisk until the mixture is fluffy and smooth

5 Add the egg yolks one at a time and keep whisking until the batter is shiny

6 Fill a pastry bag fitted with a star -shaped nozzle if you have one with the mixture (Note Use a cloth or heavy duty plastic-bag to pipe A ziplock bag wonrsquot be strong enough to hold all the batter)

7 Heat 5cm of oil in a large deep-sided frying pan over high heat If you have a thermometer heat to 190 degrees (375 degrees F)

8 Pipe 10cm lengths of churros batter into the hot oil using a knife to cut off the lengths

9 Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown Place on a rack with paper towels underneath to drain Sprinkle with sugar

10 Put chocolate sauce into a small bowl and dip in the churros Enjoy eating it

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

LACLA ReportLACLA (Let African Children Learn Association)

Not everyone are as lucky as we are here in Australia We have so much that we take for granted like fresh food clean water and most of all an extensive education But in Zambia Africa these assets are not as common For instance take education In Zambia most students and their families do not have enough money to afford adequate schooling so they do not have access to learning important life skills That is why LACLA is here to help LACLA is an organisation that supports and empowers school age children in Zambia who cannot afford an education By promoting donations and fundraisers from all around the school community we can help to give them the same opportunities as us Recently we had our school mufti day which was a fundraiser for LACLA and we are so happy with how much we all raised We thank you all once again for the donations of four hundred and six dollars Congratulations to everyone who brought in their gold coin donation Throughout the year more opportunities to donate will come up For now just remember to keep filling the bucket in your classroom and when you have a spare coin think about the children in Zambia

Method

1 Heat the chocolate syrup and stir in cinnamon and cayenne pepper Set aside and keep warm

2 To make the churros sift the flour baking powder cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl Make a well in the centre

3 Heat the water in a small saucepan until it comes to a boil Reduce the heat to a simmer add the brown sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved

4 Pour into the flour mix whisk until the mixture is fluffy and smooth

5 Add the egg yolks one at a time and keep whisking until the batter is shiny

6 Fill a pastry bag fitted with a star -shaped nozzle if you have one with the mixture (Note Use a cloth or heavy duty plastic-bag to pipe A ziplock bag wonrsquot be strong enough to hold all the batter)

7 Heat 5cm of oil in a large deep-sided frying pan over high heat If you have a thermometer heat to 190 degrees (375 degrees F)

8 Pipe 10cm lengths of churros batter into the hot oil using a knife to cut off the lengths

9 Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown Place on a rack with paper towels underneath to drain Sprinkle with sugar

10 Put chocolate sauce into a small bowl and dip in the churros Enjoy eating it

SRC ReportSalutations APS We have had a busy last few weeks with our mufti day and the novel coronavirus numbers increasing in NSW Our mufti day was awesome in terms of both fun and money In total we raised $40610 for lAClA This amount is the result of a phenomenal effort made by the whole school community Some more information will be on the LACLA column It is very disappointing that our year 5 camp in week 9 had to be cancelled due to current circumstances

We are hoping that our fun day in week 11 will happen in the event of it going ahead you will need to bring in your toys for you and other peers to play with So remember to prepare your toys in advance for a day of fun

Also keep your great suggestions coming We have had lots of suggestions lately but it would be great if you could make sure that they are sensible Also if you could give us an explanation of the ideas because some of them are of course fabulous but complex

LACLA ReportLACLA (Let African Children Learn Association)

Not everyone are as lucky as we are here in Australia We have so much that we take for granted like fresh food clean water and most of all an extensive education But in Zambia Africa these assets are not as common For instance take education In Zambia most students and their families do not have enough money to afford adequate schooling so they do not have access to learning important life skills That is why LACLA is here to help LACLA is an organisation that supports and empowers school age children in Zambia who cannot afford an education By promoting donations and fundraisers from all around the school community we can help to give them the same opportunities as us Recently we had our school mufti day which was a fundraiser for LACLA and we are so happy with how much we all raised We thank you all once again for the donations of four hundred and six dollars Congratulations to everyone who brought in their gold coin donation Throughout the year more opportunities to donate will come up For now just remember to keep filling the bucket in your classroom and when you have a spare coin think about the children in Zambia

Dear Moralistic Michelle amp Vivacious Veya

Recently my friends have been ignoring me and I have been feeling lonely

I have no other friends and I donrsquot know what to do Please help me

From Lonely Louise

Dear Lonely Louise

We can understand how you feel You should either make some better friends or go up to your friends or tell them that you are not happy with the way they are treating you If they continue to behave in this manner tell a teacher and they will surely put a stop to this atrociousness

Best Wishes

First the good news Our fabulous new community garden is almost finished Thanks to a Stronger Communities grant by Inner West Council we will have a welcoming space to share with community gardeners in the area Inquiries from community gardening groups who would like to join us can be made via the school office on 02 9798 4400

More grant news just in ndash Our school has been successful in securing another Community Building Partnerships grant of $15000 through Jo Haylen MP towards installing a giant solar electricity system on our school roof The system planned is one of the largest in the inner west We still have some fundraising to do to fund it all so stay tuned for more news on our progress

Now the less great news The PampC has postponed our planned Trivia Night with Portia Turbo on 16 May 2020 The minute we are able to we will be straight back to organising it for a time when we can come together and celebrate once again

Ashfield Public School has an amazing relationship with local businesses who have supported us so enthusiastically and generously

These are difficult times for us all but particularly small business As a community please letrsquos all do our bit to support the amazing local businesses that have had our back over the past few years Ashfield Public School community please stay local and buy local
