Newsletter Term 4 Week 8

Principal's Report

Dear Community,

As this is the second last newsletter for the year, I thought I would reflect back over this term and acknowledge all the wonderful things that have happened. It is hard to believe that this year is almost over, but it is great to look back over all the fantastic achievements that have occurred this year. This term there have, once again, been many opportunities for our students to develop and strengthen their learning behaviours as they continue to learn how to be a great learner.

Some of the things to celebrate this term have been:

• School camp
• All our volunteers and parent community who helped at Camp Oven Festival
• Mission Day Liturgy in Pittsworth
• Native Bee Man Visit
• Swimming Lessons
• Central Downs Cricket Carnival
• Prep Transition Days
• Day for Daniel
• World Teachers' Day
• Melbourne Cup Luncheon organised by our PPF
• Remembrance Day Liturgy
• Blue Day for Diabetes
• Fire Safety
• The growth of our students in their reading and spelling

and we still have the following to come:

• Award's Night
• Whole School Transition Day
• Colour Run
• Swimming Carnival 
• Graduation

I would also like to welcome Miss Tamika Hughes to our school.  Tamika is studying a school based traineeship with us and will be with us for the next few years as she works through completing this course.  Tamika will work across all classes on a Friday, so if you see her around, say helllo.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone for our Annual Award's Night on Friday, where we can celebrate as a community all of the wonderful achievements of this year.

God Bless,

Michelle

Prep News

Hi everyone, Wow what a year it has been! The hard work for the year is almost done!

In Maths, the Preppies have been continuing to identify, sequence and count numbers to 20. They have also been learning about the concepts of partitioning (10 can be split into 3 and 7 or 8 and 2) and equal sharing (share 6 cupcakes between 2 people). They have really enjoyed exploring these concepts and thinking outside the box! In English, we have been learning about procedures and persuasive letters. At the beginning of the term, the Preppies were working towards writing steps on how they would teach their animal to read, and we have now moved onto writing letters (which is very fitting considering Santa will be receiving one!). We have been continuing to revise our alphabet, sound out words, read decodable texts and write sentences. The most important concept for the Preppies to work on at home is reading. Please continue to keep up your hard work with this at home as it is a foundational skill – particularly in Prep 😊 In Religion, we have been learning about the Christmas story. The Preppies love hearing about the story of Jesus. To go along with this, in Music, we have been practicing Christmas songs. We are looking forward to performing one of these and a Christmas dance to you on Awards night next Friday night 😊 In Health, we have been learning about ways to keep ourselves safe. The Preppies created a book on the iPad using the book creator app and came up with great ideas to show future students how to stay safe. Some examples included crossing the pedestrian crossing and staying away from shark infested water! On a Friday with Mrs Folker, in Science/Design Technology, the students have been learning about where their food comes from, and in HASS, the students have been learning about Aboriginal places. Mrs Folker will be getting in a guest speaker to talk about Aboriginal places and will also be taking the students on a farm excursion in the upcoming weeks to explore this topic further 😊 I’m sure the students will love both of these activities! Over the next two weeks, the students will be completing lots of Christmas crafts. They will also get a ‘potential’ visit from two cheeky elves which should make the end of the term very interesting! It will be a nice and well-deserved way to end a big year!

Thanks so much for being such great and supportive parents 😊 Talk soon! Kind Regards,

Grace Twidale
