At the end of term it is helpful to reflect
on organised programs that directly relate to Peter's role at the school. There are three that have
happened at the school this term, shown above in the Easter egg shapes. These
programs have been well received by the children who have participated in them.
The centre picture is the new program, one of
many new ‘clubs’ introduced this term: Drawing
Club. Peter offers basic drawing equipment including shape templates and lets them work on whatever they want. He will try different things as the
opportunities present themselves but for the moment he just watches and encourages.
The picture on the left shows the Breakfast Club in action. Peter and a group
of volunteers from the local community, under the banner of Scripture Union Victoria, come
in each Wednesday morning before school to make this happen. Each week this
term they have conducted a ‘guess the marbles in the jar’ competition and the
winning child for that week receives a marble bag prize at the following
breakfast.
The picture on the right shows the now four
year old Woodcraft Club, scaled back
to once a week (Wednesdays first recess) and is still popular. From time to
time Peter will specially cut up wooden pieces to make a range of kits for
assembly, and the children love those weeks. On weeks when there are no kits
available children glue together whatever they like from the trays on a flat
board and some very remarkable wooden shapes emerge.
Peter hopes these programs continue smoothly throughout
term two.
