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.
