I AM

Dear Families

I am sure you join with me in congratulating Mr Zeid on his new appointment as Director of Public School Review with the Education Department. It was unfortunate that he didn’t have the opportunity to say farewell to the students, but he will definitely be returning in the coming weeks to do so. I am very much looking forward to taking on the role as Principal and will be working closely with Mr Zeid to ensure a smooth transition.

Faction Carnival 2020

This will be the first time we have come together as a whole school since restrictions were put in place due to COVID. Our Carnival will look a little different as we have needed to make some changes. We greatly appreciate your understanding as we aim to provide the students with the opportunity to participate, whilst keeping everyone safe. Please see details below outlining arrangements for the day.

Students

Gates will be open at 8.30am and children will report to their classes as per a regular school day. Children are encouraged to come dressed in their faction colours. A reminder for those wishing to colour their hair for the day, this must be done at home.

The children will remain with their Factions for the day. They are reminded to bring a morning tea snack and drink to have between the tabloid and track events. There will be a shortened lunch break, and students will remain in their Faction Bays to eat their lunch. Children who have not ordered a P & C Sausage Sizzle, will need to bring their lunch as there will not be an opportunity to collect food from parents.

As it is a regular school day, students are expected to participate for the full day and will not be permitted to leave until the carnival is finished. We anticipate the carnival will be finished at approximately 2.00pm. Students will return to their classes at this time and if parents wish to collect them, they can do so from the classroom.

Parents

In order to adhere to Phase 4 social distancing requirements, there will be clearly marked areas for parents in which to view the carnival from. A map will be sent home which clearly outlines this. Parents will not be able to enter the student Faction Bay area at any time during the day.

During the lunch break parents will be invited to participate in Parent Events that will be held on the track. Hand sanitizing stations will also be provided at 3 locations around the ground.

Presentations

Ribbons will be awarded at the end of each race and there will be an opportunity for photos to be taken by parents from a designated photo area.

At the end of the carnival the winning Faction will be announced along with the Champions and runners-up, however in keeping with current restrictions, medallions will not be presented until the following Monday. We will have a Year 3 – 6 Faction assembly at 9.00am and parents of the medallion recipients will be invited to attend.

We are very much looking forward to coming together as a school community.

Yr 4-6 Carramar Pasta Masterclass in Wk 10

Signora Vinciullo and Signorina D'Onofrio will be helping Yr 4- 6 classes make potato gnocchi in the Carramar Pasta Masterclass during their Italian lesson in Week 10. Students will get to make it and eat it- che forte! It is tasty and very easy to make! Gnam Gnam Buono! There are no costs to students. More details to follow.

PP-Yr 3 Pasta Patterns with Signora

Year 3 students watched and learned how to make pasta using a pasta machine with Signora Vincuillo! We were impressed with how easy it was, all the different shapes that can be made and how soft the dough was. All we used was flour and water, that is how pasta used to be made a long time ago. We discussed the differences between fresh pasta and dried pasta. We all had a go at trying out a pasta shape- brava! Did you know there are over 600 types of pasta? Mammia Mia!
