Who would have thought that our biennial tradition of a big night out for the Claremont College Concert would become a ‘big night in’. It has been a year of the unknown in so many ways, full of unexpected, unimaginable, unprecedented twists, surprises and disappointments, challenges and also opportunities. Our Concert this year provides an incredible showcase of student and teacher talent - highlighting our core values of collaboration, innovation and compassion. I know that you will be blown away by the children’s talent and inspired and appreciative of the efforts of so many people. You are all remarkable.

Our production is framed by love and what a powerful message this is…  what the world needs now is love sweet love, it’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.

We hope that you gather with other Claremont families and friends in your living rooms to enjoy the show. Please remember that the children can come to school a little later on Friday morning. Please read all the details further below in this newsletter.

Due to COVID-19, there has been some anxiety for many parents regarding this years’ Year 3 to 6 Outdoor Education (Camps) Program. The current guidelines state that schools should only be planning camps for late Term 4 and 2021. The main concern for NSW Health being the overnight/residential component. Therefore, despite the disappointment that comes with this, especially for many children, our camps will not be going ahead in Term 4. This decision is certainly based on our priority for keeping students and staff safe. 

This afternoon we informed the students in Years 3 to 6 that our Term 4 camps are not able to go ahead. Even with the disappointment the children displayed remarkable resilience and understanding. They were certainly excited about the ‘3 FUN DAYS’ 3FD which we have planned as their camp alternative. This will be a combined experience of a day trip to the camp venue for outdoor adventure activities, as well as activities which will be led by the Cru Camp leaders and teachers here at school for the other two days. The programs are still being developed with further details and parent permission notes to come. Please note that your Term 4 Fee schedule will have this billing.

At the Prince of Wales Hospital, our medical frontliners have worked tirelessly to support the community and keep us safe during these difficult times. Our healthcare workers and frontline staff are our heroes. We honour and thank them. Just as they provide support for us in times of need, we invite you to help support their incredible work.

Congratulations to well done Gia G (Year 4) and her two friends who signed up for the ‘POWer Up! Challenge’. I too have completed this challenge and have completed my 30km combined walk and run to raise money for the Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation. My goal is to raise $300. Every dollar raised during this challenge will support new virtual models of care at the Hospital keeping our staff and our patients safe. If you would like to support this most worthwhile cause, your donation will be gratefully received. To make a tax deductible donation click here. Thanks so much.

That’s right our school concert will premiere live at 6:30pm Thursday 24 September!

On Monday we had special guests, one all the way from America, to announce to the students that the 2020 Concert ‘Into the Unknown’ will premiere on Thursday. As you can imagine the students were very excited and so are we!

Please keep an eye on alerts and we will update you with the link to the performance and any other information as it is ready. Thank you for your questions so far, they have been very helpful.

We are attempting to make it possible for families overseas to also view the performance. In the interest of privacy, as this is a closed school event, please only pass on the link to close family members to ensure that our school community feels safe. We are working toward having the link ‘live’ for the holidays so it can be viewed again and again!

The excitement is building and it is going to be a great night of entertainment. COVID-19 might have prevented our school from having a live concert performance, as they say … “the show must go on” and indeed, it will. Our concert will premiere live at 6:30pm Thursday 24 September. Where, you might ask?… in the comfort of your living room. We are hoping that you have kept the date free, that you order some pizzas (or your family’s favourite food), stock up on popcorn and snacks, and enjoy the show in the comfort of your own living room. No tickets required! Why not invite another family over to share the experience together? Our P&F Grade reps will assist us over the next week to connect as many families as possible, so that you can have lots of fun together.

And in keeping with our concert tradition, it will probably be a late night for the children so, therefore, as a bonus, the children have our permission to sleep in on Friday morning. The children may arrive at school for recess at 10:20am (classes after recess begin at 10:50am). They can also arrive at their normal time too, to be ready for their learning on the last day of term. Students may wear their concert t-shirts to school that day. What a fun way to end the term!

School Bus on Friday 25 September

The school bus service will operate as normal on Friday. If you use the school bus service and will be bringing your child to school later, please email bus@claremont.nsw.edu and send a text message to the relevant bus driver.

Following Mr Thomas’ item in the Week 3 newsletter, Gia G (Year 4) registered and started her POWup walk this week.  Gia and two of her friends completed 15 kilometres on the weekend and will finish 30K by the end of this week.  

The best part of this for her is to challenge herself and her friends and have a fun afternoon together walking along the most beautiful Sydney coast.

Gia has already raised $438 as of today exceeding her goal of $300, which will help Prince of Wales Hospital to build a virtual care system.

Is anyone else interested in joining her?  Dr Sarah Wayland said "anything to help you get through the pandemic", and isn't this the best way?

Well done Gia, you Inspire Us For Life.

We have had a long standing rule that no toys are permitted at school. With the increased popularity of Woolworths Ooshies, Coles Collectables and other small toys such as marbles, cards and sticker books, we have unfortunately found there to be a growing number of issues amongst students regarding these toys. All students will be informed on Monday morning that these small toys will not be permitted at school. It is important that we ensure we uphold our high standards of positive behaviour and safety.

Let's encourage one another when they have a go - especially when others take a risk and go out of their comfort zone - this could be when they read aloud in front of others, when they share an idea in a class discussion, or even when they dance in the concert!

Larissa Cameron
Deputy Principal

Due to the financial challenges of COVID-19 a small number of parents who had initially enrolled for Kindergarten in 2021 have had to withdraw their application. This, coupled with some deferments to 2022, and a smaller number of siblings than usual, means that we now have some vacancies. Many people in our community often do not submit applications to Claremont because they often think they don’t have a chance for their child getting a place. We seek your help in getting the word out that vacancies do exist. If you have a child at preschool, please tell others. Application forms are available on our website, or contact Kathy-Clare Rochester, kc.rochester@claremont.nsw.edu.au for further information.

Whilst we give priority for enrolments to siblings, placement can not be guaranteed. If you have a pre-schooler who is due to begin school in 2022, please ensure that your application form is lodged or your child might miss out on a place. Additional references are not required for sibling application.

Should you have any questions or require confirmation that an application has been submitted, please contact Mrs Rochester.

We would like to remind parents that a full term’s notice received in writing by Friday 25 September, to the Principal is required before terminating a student's enrolment.  In the event of failure to provide the required notice of withdrawal, a charge equal to 100% of the applicable term’s school fees will become payable, including all outstanding fees and charges, in addition to fees and charges payable in respect to the entire current term.

Students will start to wear their Summer Uniform in Term 4. For next week only, if the day’s temperature is predicted to be 27 degrees or higher, your child may choose to wear their Winter Uniform or their Sports Uniform. As the weather warms up, please continue to remind your child to drink water, to wear their sunhat and if they are too hot, they can join an indoor club at lunch time.

The high standard of presentation of the school uniform is an important value of our school, and this is something that Claremont has had a longstanding reputation for in our community. Your support is appreciated as we maintain this fine tradition of our school. 

A reminder that children are to return to school next term in their Summer Uniform. Please check the length of your daughter’s tunic, as it must not be above the knee. Boys must also have shirts that are long enough to be adequately tucked in or be wearing one of the newer shirts that do not need to be tucked in at all. During Summer the blazer is not compulsory but can still be worn for warmth. The jumper however, cannot be worn to school or home from school without the blazer but can be worn whilst at school. The boys’ vest can be worn as part of the summer uniform, with or without the blazer. Once your child no longer needs his/her blazer, please ensure that it is dry cleaned and ready for ‘Speech Day’ in December, as children are to wear their blazer on this day (more details about ‘Speech Day’ to come next term). Many blazers need new buttons and these can be purchased from the Uniform Shop.

Girls’ headbands and ribbons must be bottle green whether they are in summer, winter or sports uniform. The uniform shop stocks a range of headbands, ribbons and scrunchies that meet the school standards.

School resumes on Tuesday 13 October.

In order to streamline payments and to avoid carrying over charges to next year, we will be processing all sundry expenses (ie camps, school bus, excursions etc) on your next account. We realise that for some families this will mean an increase in their account for the end of the year, but apologise for the inconvenience. You will also note a modified charge in lieu of the Year 3,4,5, and 6 camps. Our camps will not be going ahead due to COVID-19 restrictions, but instead we have three days of daily activities planned both as a combination of outdoor field trips and incursions here at school.

The following events are scheduled for Terms 3 and 4 and will proceed depending on advice from the Australian Government, NSW Health and the Department of Education in accordance with the current COVID 19 situation.

Phonics in Kindergarten

In Kindergarten we are so proud of how hard each student works to progress in their reading and writing. An important element of their literacy learning is synthetic phonics. Each day in our phonics lessons, we focus on our target phonemes (letter sounds). Students practice reading these phonemes and blending them together to make words.

Synthetic phonics has been identified as the most successful approach to teaching reading and spelling. The synthetic aspect reflects the practice of ‘synthesising’ or blending sounds together. Phonics is the process of linking individual speech sounds (phonemes) to written symbols (graphemes). Synthetic phonics teaches decoding (reading) and encoding (writing). Students learn to link letters to speech sounds, and then blend these together to read words. They also learn how to separate (segment) words into individual sounds in order to spell them. 

What does Synthetic Phonics look like in the classroom?

Synthetic phonics involves lots of repetition and guided practice of skills. These include:

• Metalanguage reviews - What is a phoneme and a grapheme? What is a digraph? What are the short and long vowel sounds?
• Quick phoneme reviews - Flash cards with target phonemes
• Sounding out words and blending the phonemes together to read words
• Reading and writing words and sentences - using decodable and sight words only

Phonics at a glance:

• Spoken words are composed of phonemes (sounds)
• There are 44 phonemes of the English language
• All the different ways each phoneme can be represented, e.g. the phoneme /a/ as in ‘apron’ can be spelled (‘ay’ like in ‘pay’, ‘ai’ like in ‘paid’, ‘a’ like in ‘apron’, ‘eigh’ like in ‘eight’ and so on…)
• To blend phonemes in a word to read
• To listen for phonemes in words to spell
• Irregular, high frequency words, which are essential to help children progress the quality of their writing and move onto reading full sentences.

When writing, Kindergarten students are developing confidence using individual phonemes to create words such as b-a-t and t-e-n-t. Now some students  are experimenting with digraphs which are two letters that make one phoneme such as ck, th, qu, wh and ng. Some words include qu-i-ck, wh-i-ch, th-i-ng and sh-a-ck. 

Great job Kindergarten!

The Kindergarten Team

‘Staying Safe in the Environment’

Year 1 has been exploring how they can stay safe in a range of environmental settings. The key inquiry question Year 1 has focused on has been ‘how can I act to help make my environment healthy, safe and active?’

Throughout the unit Year 1 students have been able to explore ways of keeping themselves safe at school such as not sharing food, encouraging cooperative play and learning what to do if they encounter bullying in a situation. The unit has also extended to outside of school settings such as beach safety, protective clothing and how to maintain safety on and near roads. 

These valuable life skills have helped Year 1 students to be able to identify safe and unsafe situations, along with establishing help-seeking strategies such as identifying trusted people and safe places.

Year 1 Incursion - Kadoo Tours

This incursion has been postponed to Tuesday 22 September (Week 10) 11:00am-12:30pm. No further permission is required. 

Handwriting

In Year 2 we pride ourselves on writing neatly.

This term we have continued with the focus on handwriting fluency and ensuring we form our letters correctly.

Now that we have finished practising all the capital letters and lower case letters of the alphabet we have tried our best to think about sentences with all the letters in them. Here are a few of these fun sentences: 

We always start our handwriting lesson by singing (humming) the tune:

This year students have most certainly improved their handwriting, particularly with the support of our current writing books with the appropriate lines.

Students in Year 2 are really trying hard to use the correct pencil grip. In Year 2 we say “Mum and Dad, should be in the front and kids in the back” (Mum and Dad  - meaning the pointer finger and thumb, and kids meaning - the middle, ring and pinky)

Here are two pictures of what they should look like:

Year 2 Team

Year 3 - Health

This term, in Health, the Year 3 students have been learning about friendships, growth and development, interactions, active lifestyles and personal health. Within society today, children are exposed to more health issues to be aware of and more choices they will need to make. Therefore, it is important to teach students how to make healthy and safe choices.

The Year 3 students have been working as part of a small group to research and create a presentation about a physical activity. The students have been encouraged and supported to research the physical and mental benefits of their chosen activity as well as how to participate in the activity. In our coming lessons, the students are going to investigate the benefits of good nutrition and how our bodies use food as fuel. Their learning will culminate in creating a poster which displays the benefits of healthy eating habits, keeping active and leading a balanced lifestyle.

Here are some reflections on what the Year 3 student’s have been learning so far:

“If you don’t do exercise, you can’t do a lot of things normal people can do” Archie T 

“There are lots of different physical activities that benefit our health” Maya V 

“I have learned that having good health is really important in life” Jez C

Term 3 - Handwriting

‘Still stashed away in the bottom of a memory box from my youth, I remember when I got my pen licence back when I was in Year 4. It was a piece of card with contact, which had a border coloured with bright pink texta and sported my name and a tiny number 2 - indicating that I was the second in the class to receive the honour. To this day I don’t think my handwriting was the second best in the class and will forever wonder if I received it early due to behaving well rather than actual skill.’ - Mrs Irwin

‘I don’t really remember… I think I was in Year 4. I used to like using pencils.’
- Mrs Herborn

‘I will never forget. I was in Year 5 when I got my pen licence. I thought it was the best thing that happened to me. I ran home and asked my Mum to buy me a pen. It was the greatest moment of my life.’ - Mrs Speranza 

‘I used to have an ink pen with a little pot, like in Harry potter. We did italics writing. I used to get ink all over my hand.’ - Mrs Robertson

‘I don’t remember getting a pen licence. I was always a neat writer. I remember the old wooden desks which had an ink hole in the corner but we didn’t write with pots of ink.’ 
- Mrs Ford

 Year 4 has been an exciting time for students to develop their handwriting skills in the hope of receiving a revered pen licence. Despite Off Campus Learning and a necessary increase in iPad tasks this year, the current Year 4 grade has worked endlessly to improve their cursive handwriting skills. With the assistance of the teachers, each student has been developing their own personal goal or next step. They have then worked hard to achieve these.

While all students will receive their pen licence by the end of the year, the challenge is to work hard to receive it earlier. So far 15 pen licences have been handed out in Year 4 with an additional 5 being added to the ranks this week. In order to earn a licence students must demonstrate neat, clear cursive handwriting with an emphasis on consistency across all areas of their work.

Year 5 Science - Forces

What makes a golf ball stop when it lands on grass? Why does water stay at the bottom of the glass and not float away? And why do middle aged men wear lycra when riding their bikes? 

This term in Science, Year 5 has been exploring some of the forces around us. 

Among other things, we have been experimenting with elasticity, tension, friction and magnetism. Students were challenged to create and test two catapults - one that relies purely on tension and one that relies on elasticity. 

After the first catapult was assembled (using marshmallows as adhesive!), Year 5 wrote a procedure to outline how they constructed their catapult. We also drew up an experiment overview to ensure we were conducting a fair test. 

Finally, we partook in the long-awaited flinging! Marshmallows were flung from each catapult, with students measuring the distance of each launch.

While many questions were asked and answered during this term’s Science investigation, the crux of one question still remains: Why DO middle aged men wear lycra?

Student quotes: 

‘I was really interested in how we had to build these contraptions. It was fun to measure it to see which product was the most successful. It’s incredible how far a rubber band can fling something!’ Tommy L 

‘Making catapults was fun! I found that writing the procedure and drawing the annotated diagrams was also interesting…’ Jasmine S 

‘We found huge improvements with slight tweaks to our catapults - it was great fun to design and modify our creations.’ Seamus M

Book Week 2020

Theme: Curious Creatures, Wild Minds

Dates: Term 4: October 17-23

Book Week celebrations each year are a highlight for so many, and 2020 will be no different, pandemic or not. There will however be obvious changes this year, but we will be doing all we can to ensure that the students and staff still have a memorable and fun-filled week.

The parade must go on… 

Thursday 22nd, put it in your diaries. Children on the day can dress up as either a literature character of their choice OR as something connected to the theme, Curious Creatures, Wild Minds. Please note that these costumes do NOT need to be purchased. In lessons, we have been encouraging students to think outside the box and challenge their creativity with their costumes. The parade will take place in the morning session and then after Morning Tea, students will be participating in a variety of different activities all surrounding and involving literature. 

There will be no book stall this year but can we encourage you, if you are thinking of purchasing books for your children, to look up the current CBCA shortlist. 

Unfortunately due to current restrictions, we are unable to extend the invitation to family members and friends to come and watch and be a part of this year’s festivities. What we are planning though is for a visual presentation to be made available to all families for the afternoon.

New Books in Our Library

Aussie STEM Stars

This exciting new series of books, celebrates the inspiring stories of Australian world leading scientists and inventors.

This is an inspiring story of spirit and stamina, generosity and courage.

From defending the weak and fixing the broken to fighting for her chance to study medicine, the story of plastic surgeon and spray-on skin inventor Fiona Wood shows us the value of dreams, hard work, and having the courage to do what is right.

Fiona continues to strive to improve and evolve the treatment of burns patients. Together with her team at the Fiona Wood Foundation, and researchers and scientists around the world, Fiona is dedicated to changing what is possible when it comes to healing burns.

This story is told by Cristy Burne who is a children’s author, science writer and presenter. She has a passion for STEM, loves learning through doing, and aims to inspire creativity, daring and resilience in her readers.

At the rear of the book there is a useful burns first aid page and helpful glossary to refer to.

Munjed Al Muderis has always said his life is about ‘making a difference’. Munjed fled Iraq during the war, arriving at Christmas Island in a rickety boat. He spent 10 months living in a detention centre under very difficult conditions. Now an orthopaedic surgeon, his fascination for robotics and desire to help others led to the development of pioneering surgery where artificial limbs could be permanently attached to the human skeleton, changing the lives of amputees forever. His humanitarian work is equally impressive, and includes being an ambassador for the Red Cross and working with Amnesty International.

This inspiring story is told by award-winning Australian children’s author Dianne Wolfer.

These titles are recommended for ages 10 - 13.

Cross Country Update

Starting in 2021, Claremont will be looking to move the annual Cross Country carnival from Term 3/4 to Term 1. From this carnival, students will be selected to compete in the IPSHA Cross Country Carnival which is also held in Term 1. Despite the proposed change, we were still planning to hold a carnival this year (that would not have any selection pathway to the 2021 IPSHA carnival). Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, the way we would normally run our carnival cannot go ahead. We still want the students to have some fun running and competing against their peers, so instead we will be running cross country races in Week 1 as part of Wednesday Sport. Students will be competing against their Year groups (rather than age groups).

Kindy/Year 1 Swimming Intensive

Another casualty of COVID restrictions this year is the Kindy/ Year 1 Swimming Intensive program that normally takes place in Term 4. Unfortunately, it will not be able to go ahead in 2020. 

Claremont Champions

Congratulations to Georgina K, Audrey F, Sophie G, Hannah B and Scarlett C (all in Year 3), who recently won the Randwick Netball Association Finals Competition for their age group. They played the Maroubra Saints in the Final and were the only team to remain undefeated all season. Well done, girls!

This term in Chapel we have been looking at stories from the bible. This week we focused on one of Mrs Hitchen’s favourite stories ‘The Parable of the Lost Coin.’ In this story we looked at how God celebrates when one person comes to know him. Even though there are many others who love God, He still celebrates the one. In fact it says in the Bible that there will be a party in heaven! 

This week the students will be learning the memory verse:

‘In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one person who turns to Him.’ Luke 15:10

We love seeing the students getting involved in the Chapel videos each week. Remember if you would like to watch this week's online Chapel video you can find it on our school website. 

You can also watch this week's Chapel by CLICKING HERE.

If your child uses the school bus, or you would like to register to use the school bus, in Term 4, please complete the registration form by CLICKING HERE. The buses are only able to carry 24 passengers each, and also service certain areas. If you have any questions in relation to the school bus service, please email bus@claremont.nsw.edu.au 

Term 4 Bus costs will be invoiced on your Term 4 invoice (in advance).

It was great to see so many parents join the session with Dr Sarah Wayland and we hope everyone got something out of it.  The feedback we have received is that having participated, many individuals were able to make a little bit more sense of how things are for them at the moment and that the array of emotions we are feeling given what we are all going through is ‘normal’ and ‘expected’.  Sarah summarised the ‘take home message’ of the evening beautifully:

• Challenge the inner critic 
• Speak to yourself nicely 
• Remember that there is the possibility of small moments of joy, where we can acknowledge we are safe ‘right now’ 
• Connect with others in a meaningful way.  

Sarah kindly provided a summary of what we discussed and can be read here.

We know that staying connected and continuing to build community is really important for us all and we will continue to find ways for us to do so in this lovely community.  If you have any comments, asks or suggestions please share with us at pfinfo@claremont.nsw.edu.au

Hello Parents and Carers,

We are pleased to have enjoyed a wonderful term of our three regular after school classes.  The creativity after isolation has been absolutely brimming.  I think we have all appreciated the landscape, the gardens, the pets and people closest to us.  In our projects, we have explored colour and new skills through Japanese braiding, decoupage, drawing, book binding, advanced finger painting, stamp making and printing onto tote bags.

Our Term 4 enrolments are open.  Limited spaces are available at 10 per class.  All classes are on campus in the year 1 rooms and run from 3:30pm until 5:00pm.  Collection of students is at the fish pond.  We continue to accept the $100 NSW Creative Vouchers.  

As the weather warms up, we embrace the joy of Summer Fruits and Holidays, we can’t help but feel excited and our Term 4 projects will be inspired by this. 

Enrolments are made online via this link:
