5/6E started Term 3 with a spring in their step. We are very busy preparing for our co ncert item, learning new dances and brushing up on our acting skills. We can’t wait to showcase our amazing talents! Last week were lucky enough to have the very talented Taryn Malzard visit our classroom and give us a master class in self-portraits. 5/6E had a wonderful morning sketching and drawing themselves. We had a look at details such as face shape, skin tone and eye shape. Our self-portraits look amazing and we are excited to show them off on Open Day. As we move into Education Week we are reflecting on all the different depositions we use on a daily basis. 5/6E decided that being ‘flexible’ in their learning allowed them to understand how important it is to listen to one another and learn from each other. 5/6E are looking forward to another busy term ahead!
Maisie finished in 12th place at the State Cross Country last
week. Well done Maisie on a tremendous effort. Year 6 are currently planning a crazy sock day fundraiser for
their farewell. Stay tuned!

PREMIER’S SPELLING BEE Last week, we held our annual in-school Premier’s Spelling Bee for Stages 2 and 3. Our students put in their best effort to spell words from the Premier’s Spelling Bee lists in front of a very enthusiastic audience of students and teachers. They skilfully overcame nerves to spell familiar and unfamiliar words of increasing difficulty in front of their peers. We’re so proud of all our students who participated in the Spelling Bee this year. We would like to announce the 2019 Grose View Public School Senior winner, Elroy Clifton. Senior second place was achieved by Angus Denne. Our Junior winner was Benjamin Morgan. Junior second place was awarded to Toby Clifton. Well done boys! You are off to the Regional Spelling Bee at Werrington County Public School on Monday 9 September. We wish you all the best in representing our school.

ART WORKSHOPS Stage 2 and Stage 3 students were very fortunate to participate in an art workshop with local artist, Taryn Malzard. Students produced portraits of themselves using oil pastels on A3 art paper. The portraits will be on display during our open day. Students and teachers were very grateful for the opportunity to extend their artistic knowledge and skill. Thank you Taryn!

K-4 EXCURSION If you have volunteered as a parent helper for the upcoming excursion to the Powerhouse Museum please contact the office to ensure your paperwork is up to date. You will not be able to attend the excursion without this documentation. All volunteers are required to complete declarations and provide 100 points of identification to the office. Please note schools are not authorised to verify WWCCs issued through Service NSW and, therefore, cannot accept the documentation. Once our paperwork is complete it is current for seven years. CONGRATULATIONS! We are very happy to share with our Grose View PS community that Ashleigh B and her older sisters, Grace and Olivia, will feature on the Channel 9 TV show This Time Next Year Australia. Their segment will air on Monday 9 September. The girls have worked incredibly hard over the past year and are very excited in the lead up to their reveal on national television. Make sure you keep an eye out for their promo ads and save the date on your calendar! Well done Ashleigh, Grace and Olivia. What an achievement!
