Don't forget to check in with your teacher this morning to see what they have planned for you before putting your device away for the day! Here's what Bruno has planned...

Who doesn't like curling up in a cubby? Bruno went missing for a little while the other day and we found him curled up snugly in a pile of clothes in the laundry, Unfortunately for Bruno it was about to go into the washing machine and he had to find a spot somewhere else! What is the best cubby you have ever built? Was it inside or outside? Do you have any other spots in your house where you like to curl up and have a snooze or read a book?
Do you know it is 7 years this week since we adopted Bruno from the RSPCA? He was 9 when he came to live with us and is about 16 years old now. Do you have any pets at your house? How long have they lived with you? Have they ever lived with a different family? Maybe we can put up a gallery of pets on this page if you send a photo to the school email account (penders.grove.ps@education.vic.gov.au).
What a lot of amazingly windy weather we have had over the last week. Did you hear the wind at your place last week and over the weekend? When we have been on our walks over the last few days we have seen lots of trees that have been blown over or have lost branches. At our house on the very windy night last week it sounded like the roof was going to blow off! Luckily it didn't and we were amazed that we didn't have any of our trees lose branches or blow over. What about at your place?
We mentioned the other day how wet it was on the weekend. Well did you know that on Sunday it was the wettest August day on record for 20 years? Almost 3cm of rain fell on that day and that hadn't happened in August since 1999! That reminded us of how much we love reading about world records. Do you have a Guinness Book of Records at home or have you read one of the copies in our school library? We would love to hear the most amazing world record that you have read or can remember!
Well the winter weather was certainly back on the weekend. We managed to get outside a very short walk yesterday between the showers but most of the weekend we hunkered down in the lounge room not too far from the heater. What did you get up to on the weekend? Board games? Movies? Sleeping? Reading? Douglas wanted to mow the lawn but even when it wasn't raining when ground was so wet his feet just sank straight into it! What do you find to do when it is too cold and wet to go outside?
Do you know something? We are all quite pleased here that we all had a haircut not too long before the current lockdown started! At the moment we are looking quite smart but it will be interesting to see what we all look like in another 4 weeks! How is your hair looking? Is it looking a bit wild or are you rocking a lockdown hairstyle?
Some times when Douglas goes for his walk in the morning one or other of the dogs stays behind. On the weekend Bruno wanted to stay in bed so Panda went on his own. One of the side effects of this is that everybody walks a whole lot faster! Are there things that you like doing on your own without help or company? What sort of activities can you do if you need to get a bit of a break from everybody else while we are all spending a lot of time together at home?
Most days we go for a walk for our daily exercise. Some mornings we stop at 7-11 to buy the newspaper or a coffee. This is a photo of us waiting outside the shop for Douglas. Some days it is early in the morning and dark when we go and some days we go later in the day. How are you getting your daily exercise? Are you exercising around your house or going out for a walk, run or a bike ride around your neighbourhood?
Wasn't it a good weekend to be inside? As it was a bit cold and wet we didn't need any other excuse to stay indoors and watch TV for a while. We also spent a bit of time catching up with relatives on Zoom (Douglas caught up with his Dad and his brothers) and doing some cooking. On Saturday night we had a BBQ but we chose to eat indoors! What did you get up to?
