Stories of change - seeking parents and community members to share short stories from their experience

Dear parents,
As part of our inquiry into 'How and why changes happens?' we are wanting to offer students true stories about change. We are wondering what are meaningful or significant changes that have happened in your life? Would you be willing to share a story with students about a change that you have experienced or witnessed? We are thinking about ten minute story telling sessions.

The change story may be:
  *A personal experience or a change that you witnessed in another person, community or a country
  *Recent or from a long time ago

The sharing could be:
 *To a large group or small group
 *Accompanied by pictures, music or any other props if you would like
 *Via Skype if you were unable to leave work during the school day

Please let teachers know in person or through email if you have any ideas. Please encourage others to come in to. hilvert.alexandra.a@edumail.vic.gov.au

Book Talk is Back

Calling all parents to our new Monday morning time slot

Book Talk will start again in week 2 (21/7/14). We are so keen to have parents involved. We welcome all parents back who can continue to come and invite new parents (and grandparents) to get involved. Book Talk is a small group book sharing opportunity that supports students curiosity and momentum as readers. The sessions run from 9.10am till about 10am on Monday mornings. Parents will always be supported by teachers. We welcome any time that parents have to share – this may be a one off or every week. Please note that the day change is because of chess education this term. We apologies for any inconvenience this causes.
