Central Coast Dance Festival Primary Dance group

Well done and congratulations to our superstar groups who have performed at the CCDF over the last two week. Each and every year I am impressed at the level of commitment and skill demonstrated on stage at the festival. Thank you to all the staff, parents and students for another successful year. I look forward to your performances back at school in Term 3.

Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members, It is with mixed emotions that I inform you that I have accepted the position of Principal at Kanwal Public School. It is anticipated that I will begin my new role on Day 1 of Term 4. I have spoken with my Director and requested that I remain at Killarney Vale Public School until the end of Term 3 as I am working on a variety of important projects that I would like to see completed. During Term 3, it will allow my Director time to find a suitable permanent replacement so that Killarney Vale can continue to Move Forward to A Better World and Reach for the Stars. As the process unfolds, I will keep you all well advised and updated. Until then, it is business as usual. Kindest Regards Yours in Public Education Mr Moxon Mr Jonathan Moxon Principal Killarney Vale Public School

Quality work with Mr Moxon

Have a great week KV Mr Moxon

Tiddler: The Story-Telling Fish – Julia Donaldson Donaldson and Scheffler create another brilliant children’s picture book. Donaldson’s creation of rhyming, along with Scheffler’s dynamic illustrations will ensure readers are always engaged. This brightly coloured tale takes place in the deep blue sea. Tiddler, a pale grey fish, living amongst a glorious vivid coral reef has a small problem; he tells tales to everyone he meets. Everyday Tiddler is always late to school, making up the most elaborate stories to explain his tardiness. One day Tiddler tells his teacher he was captured by a squid and had to wait until a turtle arrived to save him. Believing everyone wants to hear a great “story”, Tiddler continues to make up these adventurous tales. The more elaborate they become the more Tiddler continues to build upon them. As his stories start to spread each fish tells one another. Whilst swimming to school Tiddler is thinking about his tale of the day, when a large fishing net swoops him up and brings him on board a fisherman’s ship. However, being such a small fish, the fisherman throw him back overboard into the sea, where he is now confused and lost in his current location. Scared and lost, Tiddler does not know what to do. How will Tiddler return to his home?

Acros c Poems allows users to learn about and 

write acros c poems, a poetry form that uses the 

le ers in a word to begin each line of the poem.

main topic word. 

It has a simple step by step process that provides 

students with the ability to thoroughly brainstorm 

ideas around their topic word giving them the  

opportunity to enhance their vocabulary in their 

acros c poem.  Topic words can be chosen from 

any learning area and provide the students with a 

way to crea vely display their knowledge.
