Student School
Banking Isla, Mireille and Felicity from
KH came to see what Banking
was all about at recess. They
listened and watched the
wonderful banking ladies mark
off a bank slip, helped count
money, used the date stamp
and followed the whole
process to putting student
bank books back in their class
bag! Well done girls and thank
you for your help today.
We love our Tuesday Banking
Ladies.

School Community Breakfast It certainly was an awesome way to start off a Friday morning
with our School Community Annual Breakfast. The general
consensus was that staff and parents/carers enjoyed catching
up for informal conversation between each other. The great
vibe of the morning was felt by everyone, it was evident that
the kids loved the yummy brekky to start their day.

We are super proud of our classroom and what we have achieved in our learning so far this year.
Our class has been learning the effects on our environment of pollution, the impact of plastics
and the benefits of recycling. We have studied “The Tin Forrest” which is about a wide, wind-
swept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten that was filled with all the things that no one
wanted." So begins Helen Ward's tale of the Tin Forest where an old man lives who tidies the rub-
bish and dreams of a better place. With faith, ingenuity and hard work, he transforms a junkyard
into a wonderland in this poetic modern fable.
This year in art we have worked with a number of different products including sticks and foil to
produce some fine pieces of artwork.

Over the past few weeks 3/4S
have been learning new
adventurous skills.
We have really stepped out of
our comfort zones taking on
new challenges and realising
that there is lots of fun to
enjoy.
Taking on learning basketball
skills as part of our sporting
program within school.
At the Year 4 camp we
participated in a number
activities like canoeing, rock
climbing, archery and
snorkelling just to name a few.
Wow what a great time we
had!

Our Year Four students enjoyed the wonderful hospitality
provided by the team at Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation
last week.
The students snorkelled, climbed, cooked, canoed and shot
arrows during the three amazing days at camp. They were also
lucky enough to have a close encounter with a Sea Lion as it
basked in the sun. The weather provided a spectacular
backdrop and Ms Snow, Mrs Calleja and I were so proud of the
way the students stepped out of their comfort zone
to challenge themselves.

'A little nonsense now and
then, is relished by the
wisest men'. And didn't we
get up to some nonsense
on Friday 13 September to celebrate Roald Dahl Day. So many
of Roald Dahl's characters were magically brought to life to
celebrate his wonderful contribution to literature. Foxes,
witches, giants, peaches, blueberries, Wonkers, Charlies,
Trunchbulls and so many more delights enchanted the
audience as they paraded their marvellous costumes.
Thank you to all of the students and teachers who made the
day so scrumdiddlyumptiously enjoyable.

Magnificent Mangoes! We’ve had a great response to the news that we’ll be selling
mango trays early next term! Keep your eyes peeled for the note
that will be coming home straight after the holidays.
Bunnings BBQ Clear your calendar for Saturday, 30 November
2019 and come along and help us raise some
money for our awesome school.
We’ll need sausage turners, money handlers, drink
selectors, sauce bottle fillers, sandwich deliverers as well as set
up and take down teams. Every volunteer hour is valued and it
all gets invested in our kids. Please message our Facebook page
if you can help.
A Warm Welcome It’s fabulous to see some new faces at our canteen window – a
warm welcome to Mary and Lianne! Our regulars also do a
fantastic job and are always happy to show our new volunteers
around. If you think it’s something you’d like to do, please pop
by the canteen and put your name down. Our canteen always
has a really great vibe. Kids love to be served by a member of
their family and it’s a good chance to pick up some tricks of the
trade to get some healthier options into your child’s lunch boxes!
Got Any Business Connections? We’re looking for one or two major prizes for our Christmas Carols
raffle – things like accommodation, travel, experiences…. If you
have any connections or can think of anyone we should try, let
us know. We’d love to be able to offer a fantastic giveaway to
our community!
Next Meeting Join us for our next meeting at 3.15pm on Monday 28 October
2019 in the staff room. All welcome.
Happy Holidays Holidays are here! Enjoy the break from uniforms, school lunches
and routines and spend time with your kids. Stay safe, relax and
have fun.
