Welcome as winter wears on.
Cross Country Last Friday the Sorrento team made their way to Davallia Primary School to complete in the annual cross country event. Fortunately Mr O’Neill, Principal Davallia PS, made an early call to postpone the event from Monday to Friday due to the predicted adverse weather conditions. It is never easy changing dates of events when so many schools are involved, but it all worked out well.
Sorrento’s 3rd
placement was due to the combined effort of every Sorrento athlete and their consistent high placement in each of the age groups. It was not simply the points earned by the top four place getters. Although we were second last in the top four place getters we finished 3
rd overall.
Number of 1st – 4

st Davallia 9 23.0
2nd
Marmion 5 25.5 3

Well done ALL Sorrento long distance runners. Wearing of School Uniform – Girls & Leggings Girls wearing leggings are expected to have a skirt or similar over the top of their leggings. Just wearing the school shirt over the top of their leggings is not meeting the high standard of dress we aspire to. Wearing of School Uniform - General There appears to be an increase in the number of students dressed in odd coloured windcheaters and pullovers. Please wear the grey uniform colour. Uniforms – Lost Property The lost property bin is overflowing, mainly with clothing with no name on it. Please check the lost property bin at the rear of the administration if wardrobes and drawers appear to be light on at home. Cyber Safety Night 60 people attended this exceptionally informative evening presentation by Jordan Foster. My appreciation is extended to Mr Hinchliffe for organizing this community information evening. NAPLAN Online Trials Sorrento PS is one of a number of schools who have volunteered to be part of the NAPLAN online trials 2017 & 2018. We have joined the trials to give us plenty of lead time to ensure we are well placed when it is compulsory for ALL schools to complete NAPLAN online in 2019.

Mr Hinchliffe has been leading this trial to test our ICT infrastructure, connectivity capacity, BYOD, teacher organisation and student adaptability to the new mode of NAPLAN testing.
Trials to date have demonstrated our bandwidth can cope and BYODs that meet specifications as indicated in the BYOD policy work well. Please be reminded that iPAD Mini’s won’t work with the online testing and are not recommended as a BYOD at Sorrento.

Chicken Pox As a precaution, we are advising that there has been a case of chicken pox in our school. This is a Health Department notifiable disease. We ask you to be observant of the health of your child and be aware that symptoms may include fever, fatigue, and a generalised rash characterised by small vesicles (blisters) that rupture to form crusts. Transmission is either airborne or by droplet and direct or indirect contact with fluid from visicles (blisters) of an infected person. Incubation period is 13 to 17 days. The infection period is from 2 days before rash appears until vesicles have formed crusts. Exclusion from school is for at least 5 days after vesicles (rash) appear and until vesicles have formed crusts. If you are worries about a child’s health, always seek medical advice or call Healthdirect Australia on 1800 022 222 (24 hours). Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Waste Wise News
There are many good reasons for minimizing the amount of waste that we create: It reduces impacts on the environment, for example:
Fewer natural ecosystems will be affected by mining, harvesting, and landfill of waste if we can manufacture new goods from old goods.
Fewer landfill sites will need to be built if we can extend the life of the landfill, which means that the biodiversity of a future landfill site can remain intact.
Greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced if we were all to compost and/or worm farm our organic waste.

School Health
Why Do I Need Calcium? Bones grow rapidly during adolescence, and teens need enough calcium to build strong bones and fight bone loss later in life. But many don't get the recommended daily amount of calcium. In addition, people who smoke or drink soda, caffeinated beverages, or alcohol may get even less calcium because those substances interfere with the way the body absorbs and uses calcium.
Bone calcium begins to decrease in young adulthood and people gradually lose
bone density as they age — particularly women. Teens, especially girls, whose diets don't provide the nutrients to build bones to their maximum potential are at greater risk of developing the bone disease osteoporosis, which increases the risk of fractures from weakened bones. Calcium also plays an important role in muscle contraction, transmitting messages through the nerves, and the release of hormones. If people aren't getting enough calcium in their diet, the body takes calcium from the bones to ensure normal cell
function, which can lead to weakened bones. If you got enough calcium and physical activity when you were a kid and continue to do so as a teen, you'll enter your adult years with the strongest bones possible. Source: http://kidshealth.org/en/teens/calcium.html

Slowly Slowly a sloth moved along a big branch
Slowly a little boy ate his yummy ham sandwich Slowly a D division runner crossed the finish line Slowly a pigeon flew through the bright blue sky Slowly a small ant moved food to the ant’s nest.

Suddenly Suddenly the posh car slid off the icy road and tumbled down the almost
never ending cliff. Suddenly the crowd went ballistic as Elvis Presley stepped onto the shiny
black stage. Suddenly the distressed shark started twisting and turning after it was
speared on the tail by a massive spear gun. Suddenly the ballerina made a wrong move and fell flat on the slippery
stage. Suddenly the toddler threw himself on the floor and started screaming during a nasty tantrum.
Suddenly the sprinklers shot up as I sat comfortably over the shoot. by Lucy Wright
Peacefully Peacefully the flower blossomed near the lush, green meadows.
Peacefully the pink unicorn shot threw the blue sky. Peacefully the baker baked warm pancakes for the customers.
Peacefully the green leaves floated by the blue water. Peacefully the boy sat near the apple tree. Peacefully the pug slept near the fireplace.

Clumsily the little brown monkey slipped and face planted into the yucky mud Clumsily three little black puppies ate off my dinner plate and not their own Clumsily l ate my grandmother’s piece of pizza instead of grandpa’s piece
Clumsily I drank my soup and spilt it all over my school clothes by Gemma
Impeccably Impeccably the child finished eating the gigantic meal.

Softly Softly, the cyan peacock feather drifted into the red blossom farm.
Softly the detailed butterfly crouched on the pretty rose to have little lunch. Softly the light blue bird landed quietly on its tiny nest, careful not to disturb the
youngsters. Softly, the gruesome hunters scattered into their position to ambush the big,
defenceless prey. Softly, the blue eagle and dull hawk fell to the itchy grass with their massive wings
open. Softly the public auditorium fell with an awkward silence after the great applause
from the amazing act. by Ryan
Sadly Sadly the boy was killed by a banana.
Sadly the mouse was eaten by an evil snake. Sadly the people watched the TV.
Sadly the man fell off a roof. by Jacob

Joyfully I stomped in the rain puddles with happiness Joyfully a little girl twirled until she was going to fall over
Joyfully I watched a granny flip on the trampoline and it was EPIC Joyfully my friends and I played with laughter
Joyfully I slid down the slide on my knees Joyfully I cheered for GOLD!!!!!!!!!!

Colourfully Colourfully the sun shone brightly on the dewy grass.
Colourfully the brightly coloured rainbow reflected on my shining window. Colourfully the rain drops trickled along the cobblestone wall.
Colourfully the dark red rose blossomed in the sunlight. Colourfully the glittering art work lit up the classroom.
Colourfully the jar of jellybeans made everybody gaze in delight. by Madison
Sadly Sadly my poor dog died from a car crash.
Amazingly a unicorn fell out of a rainbow and landed on a trampoline. Sadly my mum took my X-box away from me while I was in the middle of a

Sadly the dog died from running across the road and got hit by a car. by Josh
