Principal’s Note

Welcome to Term 4

Welcome back! It has been wonderful to see so many

smiling faces as we returned to school. This term has

already proven to be very busy and we have so much

to look forward to in the coming weeks. Along with our

major excursions, last Dojo Shop for the year, Semester

Two Reports, Presentation Night, it is with heavy hearts

we will also bid farewell to our Year Six students, who

will continue their educational journey to High School.

We hope that our Year Six students enjoy their last

weeks at Junee Primary School and make it a positive

school term to remember.

With so much on this term it is vital that we keep an

eye on important dates and read all notes that come

home. If you require any information on upcoming

events please don’t hesitate to contact us.

2018 Kindergarten Transition

Over the coming weeks we welcome our new

Kindergarten students who will have regular visits as

they transition from pre-school, day care or home to

‘big school’. It is such a special time for these students

and their families and it is important that we provide

the best transition possible. Miss O’Connor has been

very busy organising lessons and preparing for the

visits. If you know of any school age students who are

intending on enrolling for next year, please encourage

them to contact us so their child can be included in the

program.

Sun Safety

Students should be wearing a hat at school when

outside all year round, however; we emphasise this

message during our hottest times of the year, Terms 1

and 4. Students who don’t wear hats are required to

play under the COLA. Two styles of hats can be

purchased at the school office; bucket hats are $5.00

and wide brim hats are $8.00.

School Lunches

It has come to our attention that we have many

students coming to school with either no food or not

enough food for lunch. While we have some provisions

from our Breakfast Club to make a sandwich, we do

not have an endless supply of food. We ask that

children come to school with fruit to have in class, a

healthy lunch and snack to have at lunchtime and

additional fruit and healthy snack at recess. As children

grow they need more food to sustain them throughout

the day and it is always better to pack extra than not

enough. If you are having financial difficulty or finding

it hard to organise lunches for your children we are

only too happy to assist. If this is the case please

contact the school and ask to speak to Mrs Sheridan or

myself so we can support you. Please refer to the

information on healthy lunches accompanying this

edition of the newsletter.

Enjoy the remainder of your week!

Kind Regards,

Tracy Delaney

Last week Mr Harris and I attended the final day of a

three day Professional Learning Course on Tier 2

Interventions which support students who have had

minor behaviours. Although, PBL is working

successfully in our school we are always looking for

ways to improve our wellbeing practices and

processes.

This term we will be writing a scope and sequence for

our PBL focuses which will allow teachers time to plan

engaging and explicit lessons and continue to teach

expected behaviours.

News from the Classroom

Gurawung students are very excited to be learning

coding through robotics. They have been eagerly

trying to program the EV3 Lego robots using the

Mindstorms software. They have set up mazes, and

then programmed the robot mice to find the cheese.

When not engaging with the robots the students have

battled one another playing battleships, practicing

using co-ordinates.

In morning rotations, the students have been

practicing their writing skills and have enjoyed reading

to the new “reading buddies”. They are being

challenged to ready themselves for moving into year 5

in 2019.

Our learning in Maths about position has led to us

using compasses and trying the sport of orienteering.

We had a lot of fun working out which direction we

were facing when looking at different parts of the

playground.

Our excursion to Canberra is coming up very quickly

and the students are looking forward to their visit to

the National Zoo and Aquarium. They are also keen to

see the view from the Telstra Tower on Black

Mountain. The excursion will take place on Wednesday

7 November 2018.
