Belmore South Public School

Wednesday morning was weird. The sky was an eerie red and a little bit scary. Many of us wondered what it was. The Weather Channel gave us the answer.
Sydney had been hit by the biggest dust storm in over 40 years. The dust came on strong winds from the central west of the continent.
It left everything covered in a thick layer of red dust. In some places it rained red mud.
Health experts advised us all to stay inside, no physical activity and all windows and doors closed.
Many classes explored the reasons for the red dust and expressed their feelings about it in both pictures and words.
Hope you enjoyed the work of Stage 2S which was inspired by the dust storm.

What is golden time you ask?
It is a time when you can enjoy a relaxing end of the week doing something you really, really like doing!
Does everyone in the school have Golden Time?
All those students in the school who have worked well and behaved appropriately in the week get to have Golden Time.
When is Golden Time? Usually Friday afternoon.
Is there any special event that can happen in Golden Time?
Oh yes! The Class of the Week gets to use the DS Lites and all the games we have to go with them.
Teachers and their students can negotiate special rewards like playing extra sport, using the Wii’s, doing some special artwork anything really.
The only thing to remember is if you want to be in Golden Time you have to be well behaved, work hard and not muck about.
Are there other schools in the world who have Golden Time or something like it?
