The Fabulous Four

Here is The Fabulous Four movie. This was a massive collaboration project by the year-1 students, parents and teachers of Princes Hill Primary School. We would like to thank everyone who helped make this movie possible. We would like to give a special thanks to Nova, Ben, Deb, Marley and Leigh who gave up their time, guiding us in making the movie.

I would also like to congratulate all the students in year-1. Every single one of you contributed in the making of this movie! Well done!

Getting reading for our Movie Premiere

In the past couple of week the children have been working towards the Movie Premiere of our movie the 'Fabulous Four'.  We have been creating posters, tickets, and writing invitations to parents and dignitaries. 





Well Being - Gratefulness Journals

Research from Emmons show that, “Children who practice grateful thinking have more positive attitudes towards school and their families.”

Sometimes we forget to say thank-you or to appreciate what others do for us and we go about our daily lives without ever stopping to think about how lucky we are for what we have. We asked the children to think about something that they have been grateful for and encourage the children to think about the simple things that parents or friends do each day.


In the past month the children have been working on Gratefulness Journals.  We read numerous stories on the importance of being thankful, such as, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and The Plane Tree by Aesop.

John F Kennedy firmly believed, “’We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives."

We also created a whole neighbourhood Gratefulness / Thankfulness quilt.

Movie Premiere and Year One Neighbourhood Presentation

On Tuesday 15th December the Year One Neighbourhood will be presenting the premiere of our animation movie the 'Fabulous Four' in the Gym.  Parents and carers are asked to be seated before the students arrive.  The teachers will take the roll in the morning in our home-groups and will bring the children across to the gym by 9.10am ready to begin.
A display of the student's work and documentation of our inquiry will be on display in the gym. The children will be singing our theme song for the 'Fabulous Four' movie and we will be screening our movie. After all the formal proceedings, tea and coffee will be available in the foyer of the gym.  We ask parents to please bring along a plate to share for morning tea.

                                          

Thank you so much for continued assistance.
