Hello and welcome boys and girls! by now you’ve probably heard the exciting news from your S.R.C Representative about the new community project we’re about to embark on. We’re going to be looking at bringing a little joy and happiness in everyone’s lives by introducing this new concept called SPOONVILLE! Spoonville requires everyone to get involved by purchasing and using a wooden spoon and then decorating it as you please to create a character. I have lots of different examples for you below. I also encourage each student to think about and write a word of encouragement to give hope and strength to others during this time, for example, strength, hope, joy, courage on the back of the wooden spoon. Have a look at the examples below enjoy and above all GET CREATING!
Listed below is also a list of rules to keep in mind when participating in Spoonville, as well as the Spoonville home page have a quick read it will give you lots of tis and ideas!

Week 8 Father’s Day Video
This weekend is Father’s Day so we thought we’d create something really special and memorable to commemorate the fathers, grandfathers and special person in our lives.
Students were involved in making a trophy for the special man in their lives. The clip below shows children involved in putting together their trophy creations. Please have a look, and if you like, you can create one similar for your dad.
The equipment needed for the task are; two plastic or foam cups, masking tape to tape up both the cups together. Lots of decorative pieces to decorate your trophy.
Optional Week 9 Visual Art Activity
The activity below is about listening and drawing the instructions your partner is giving you. It’s a lot of fun, I can’t wait to see the final outcome, listen carefully and good luck!
Also remember to share with me please send to my email address: tvelardi@stgeorgepreca.catholic.edu.au
Communication Activity – Drawing Twins (one person drawing, one person listening and following instructions or a larger group can also be used to complete this activity).
Time: 40 minutes
Objective: This should illustrate how hard it is to give clear instructions as well as how hard
it is to listen, and can also show how things are easily misunderstood and misinterpreted.
Equipment: pencil, paper, simple line-drawn pictures, ( house, face,snowman,
spider, TV, tent, cat, flower, tree, car, bunny, fish, wine glass, (Alternatively use objects you already have at home).
Method:
• Divide participants into pairs.
• Give one member of the pair a picture which must not be shown to their partner.
• The person with the picture must give instructions to their partner so that they can
draw it, but must not say what it is, eg, ‘draw a circle, draw two more circles inside
the circle about half way up’. The person picture cannot watch the person draw it?
• Compare the drawing with the original.
• Hand out more pictures and ask participants to swap roles.
• The person with the picture can give instructions in a similar manner but,
this time the person drawing can ask yes/no questions and the person with the
picture can watch as they draw. Half the group can begin by telling the person what
the object is.
Round 1
• Why don’t many of the pictures look like the original? (Interpretation: everyone has a
different interpretation, directions were not clear, not able to give or get feedback).
• What were your frustrations as the source of the message (giving instructions), as the
receiver of the message.
Round 2
• Did it help to be able to watch the person drawing?
• Did it help to be able to ask questions?
• Did it help to know what the object is …your clear goal?
The link below shows footage of one person giving instructions and the other drawing, let’s see how the messages are perceived?
