Visit our English page (or click here) to see what we have been reading! We love reading by ourselves and in small groups. What do you like to read? Can you suggest any great books for us to read as a class? Jeremy's favourite corner in the classroom. He would spend all day here if you let him! I do love it that he is enjoying reading so much at the moment. Keep it up Jeremy! Yesterday, The Sydney Writers’ Festival was the right place to be because Stage Three got to meet famous authors and a famous illustrator. We heard Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner read their book Too Many Elephants in This House, a funny speech from Felice Arena, really funny poetry by Steven Herrick and Cornelia Funke read us the first two chapters of her new book. Some of our favourites were when Felice told us about writing stories around sports, Steven read his poems including the one about 10 things your teacher would never say to you and Cornelia got us hooked on her book! Today is National Simultaneous Story Time and the book is Too Many Elephants in This House so we feel extra special that it was read to us by the author and illustrator yesterday!

So far they have created their first page which is titled 'Hello World'! How cute you all were as babies Year 6!

We got to get our funk on and explore our musicality with Hip Hop style dancing. For more photos click here (or visit our PDHPE page). Enjoy! An envelope went home at the beginning of the week containing the term invoices as well as all the permission notes for the term. Stage 3 have a few excursions this term with one NEXT TUESDAY! It is imperative that the notes are returned and the excursion is paid for this week. The excursion is a very exciting one to The Sydney Writers' Festival! We are thrilled to be able to attend. PLEASE GET THE PAYMENT AND NOTES IN ASAP! Thank you to those people who have already returned all the notes and paid. We would hate for anyone to miss out!
Last week, every students in the school received a note about the Multicultural
Perspectives Public Speaking Competition. Everyone will be participating in the school wide competition so it would be fantastic if you could help your child with preparing for this. Although everyone will be participating in the competition, there will be two students who will be selected to represent Brookvale at the local finals in June. Please click here or go to the English Page under Learning Areas to see the topics and a copy of the note. NAPLAN is on this week and Year 3 and Year 5 students are working hard at doing their best in the tests. It is really important that your child gets a really good sleep and a healthy, hearty breakfast so that their brain is ready to do it's best.

Miss SurrestTeaching is my passion! My mum, dad and stepdad are all teachers along with so many of our family friends so I think that it's in my blood.
I was brought up on Sydney's Northern Beaches and absolutely love teaching at Brookvale Public School. I teach Stage 3 (Years 5 & 6) and my class is amazing. They are funny, always willing to learn, adventurous and enthusiastic. Enjoy following our path and seeing what we get up to in 5/6S. Archives
