A presentation from two members of our parent body assisted Council enormously in gaining more knowledge of the possible health and amenity effects of the proposed east-west tunnel link. Council intends to be pro-active on behalf of our students and the general Clifton Hill community and your views will be canvassed in the very near future. SCIENCE CENTRE After a slow start the new Science Centre is well under way and will still be completed sometime in November. LANGUAGES ROOM Work will commence this week on the two staff preparation rooms on the Organ Factory ground floor that will be totally remodelled into one languages facility for Mandarin and French. BOOK CHARACTER WEEK A lot of scary and ugly characters, together with the odd princess and a horde of animals frequented the school on Wednesday and a wonderful day was enjoyed by all. Thanks mums and dads for giving the children the opportunity to celebrate their love of reading through dressing up as one of their much-loved book characters. JUNIOR SCHOOL COUNCIL Congratulations and thank you to the Junior School Council who do so much creative thinking about how to improve the school and in supporting worthy causes. On this occasion we thank them for their decision to do a Book Week fundraiser to assist with the new Science Centre fundraising efforts. They have raised the grand total of $320…an extraordinary effort! Well done to JSC and the kids at Gold Street. Father’s Day Stall This year we will once again we will be holding a Father’s Day Stall Fundraiser. All students will be given the opportunity to purchase a gift for their Dad, Step-Dad, Grandfather or other special person in their lives. The gifts will be sold for $5 each and all monies raised will go towards our new Science Centre.

I was judging other entries but later caught up with the relevant judges who were enthusiastic about our students and their work. Our students are to be congratulated for the organisational skills they demonstrated in preparing their entries. They now face a wait for the results! We expect the results early in Term 4. We encourage our entrants to place their entries in our Whole School Science Show in Term 4 so that other students can see their work. Di Nevile. LIBRARY NEWS Children’s Book Week has been a national celebration run by the Children’s Book Council of Australia for well over sixty years.

We may be halfway through our third term, and shivering next to the heater at night, but in France at the moment it’s summer and schools are on holidays. What are some of the things we can say about summer? J’aime aller à la plage. Je porte un teeshirt et un short. Combien de mots peux-tu trouver? Je veux manger une glace. Je nage. Je fais de la nata3on. Il fait chaud. J’aime regarder le cricket. T B E E S R E P M Claude Monet Exhibition – Le Jardin de Monet Recently the Grade Five students visited the Claude Monet exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. In the exhibition there were a range of different impressionist artists represented but the majority of the art works were those of Monet. When we first got to the gallery we met Grace who taught us a little bit about Monet and his art. Then we took a look around while answering questions, in French, about the art. After looking at the paintings, we got to create our own art inspired by Monet. Two of my favourite paintings were “Gros Temps à Étretat” and I also really like his series of waterlily paintings “Les Nymphéas”. We learnt a lot about the ways different colours compliment each other and how a little bit of colour can influence the whole piece of art. We also saw how Monet would use the same scene but paint it multiple times, at different times of the day, to accentuate the changes in light and colour.
