Assembly
On Friday 20 June, we presented you with a ‘dramatic’ assembly. Room 12 performed two plays, ‘The Imaginary
Pumpkin Competition’ and ‘Blackberry’. We also had six of our talented singers performing a song called ‘Party in the
USA’ by Miley Cyrus. (Thank you to Steve Fisher for assisting us with the sound gear.)
Reading
This term we have been working on comprehension skills such as Inferring, Concluding, Cause and Effect etc. We
read the book ‘Once’ which is about an orphan boy named Felix who sets out to find his parents during WW2 but has
a few unexpected meetings along the way.
Art We have been working on 1 & 2 point
perspective, which has led us towards doing
sketches of different buildings. We have
also had a design competition for a new
Australian flag.
History
We have learnt about the federation of Australia and have recently been creating mind maps on Federation. Soon we
will be having a quiz day based on this information.
Writing

Yakamia Creek to be
removed
Local environmental group, Albany Community
Environment Centre (ACEC) have obtained State
Natural Resource Management funding to
support further weed control and restoration
works along a new section of Yakamia Creek
adjacent to the school. ACEC is working with the
City of Albany, Friends of Yakamia Creek
members and other community groups to
implement the project.
The next big step is to organise contractors to
come in and remove the larger woody weed
species, including the Sydney Golden Wattles and
Taylorina, the two dominant woody weeds
present. The work is being scheduled for the first
week of the July school holidays so as not to
disrupt school activities. Please note that this
initial removal of the woody weeds will likely have
a significant initial visual impact, opening up the
views along this upper section of the creek.
However, revegetation works with suitable local
native species are planned for later this year and
