On March 11, Year 2 visited the Royal Botanic Gardens to look for Mini Beasts. This term our science unit has been to understand the ‘Living World’ and to describe external features, changes and growth of living things. Year 2 boys did some digging and classifying of mini beasts. This was lots of fun, but hard work! Then Year 2 went in search of mini beasts in water. We ended our excursion looking at spiders and stingless bees. We thank all our parent helpers for coming along. The boys had a wonderful time at the gardens.

Dear Parents,
When ordering your son’s recess/lunch orders online please ensure that you do this before the cut-off time of 8.45am each day to ensure that your son gets his lunch order. If you order after the cut-off time of 8.45am his order will not be processed.
Please note that no late orders will be accepted by the Tuckshop and no money will be loaned out. There are no exceptions.
In the event that your son does not have any lunch or recess with him he will be given a sandwich/es of either vegemite, jam or cheese. These sandwiches are free of charge.
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.
Kind regards
Wyvern Office
An unsavoury character passed away and a eulogy was delivered by a pastor who’d never met him. Hoping to comfort the family the reverend got carried away, describing the departed as a caring son, a dedicated father and a loving husband. After the service the widow nudged their son and said, “Go up to the coffin and make sure it’s your father he’s talking about!”
If your life was measured by its donation instead of its duration, how would people remember you?
D James Kennedy wrote: “Consider the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the world’s most massive structures. Someone built it as a memorial to himself…King Khufu, not exactly a household name! Emperor Shah Jehan built the Taj Mahal as a tribute to his wife, yet he too built in vain; after all who knows the name of Mumtaz? While these people are all forgotten, we can make a permanent imprint on the world. God placed a desire in our hearts for significance and permanence.” In Ecclesiastes it says “God has set eternity in the heart of mankind.”
So how can we make a name for ourselves for eternity? Or in another image that the Bible uses … what ensures that our names will be found in the book of life?
The answer is “accept and love”. Accept God’s friendship as a free gift and love Him and others.

This week our artists of the week come from Year 4. These boys have spent most of the term creating ‘ Art Cars’ and housing them in ‘garages’ that open and close. This work is based on the artists that created the BMW Art Car series, and Aemon O Toole’s – ‘Tool Box’ open and closed.
These boys have paid particular close attention to their craftsmanship within the work, creating interesting details using a variety of techniques.
Congratulations to Brentson Lew (L) and Isaac Holmes (R) for some wonderful work.

After an exceptionally busy 11 weeks, Term 1 will come to a close next Friday. In many ways the first term is the most important time of the school year. Expectations are set, routines established and relationships between teachers and students are formed. I have been very pleased to see these elements combined, which has meant that productive and enjoyable learning has been foremost in all we do at Wyvern.
I thank parents who have made time in your busy schedules to attend the many events and activities on offer, including various learning showcases this term. We really enjoy showing your sons in action and in turn, the boys benefit hugely from the interest you show in their learning.
I also thank our hardworking team of parent volunteers and the P and F executive for their superb support of the school. I hope that you are able to enjoy a bit of a break in the upcoming holiday period and look forward to seeing the boys back at school on Tuesday 26 April.
Ian Holden
