Dear parents, carers and community members,

On Friday we had a visit from the Life Education van. Our

special guest, Healthy Harold the giraffe, did not disappoint

as usual. He was a hit! The students were able to see his

golden car and his golden toilet. The theme of the lessons

were ‘being respectful and caring with friendships’ and

‘healthy lifestyles’.

NAPLAN tests will be held for the next two weeks. Years 3,

5, 7 and 9 will sit for literacy and numeracy tests in periods

1 & 2 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All

students will go to the library for their tests.

There are new baby chickens which have hatched out of

the incubator. Our students are responsible for feeding and

caring for them during the day. The vegetable garden beds

are all coming along nicely. By the end of the winter they

should all have a variety of vegetables growing in them.

It’s getting colder each day, we have winter jackets

available at school. School uniform is the pride of place

here at school. Our students look good in black long pants,

green school tops and our school jackets for their winter

uniform. On Monday we give roo dollars out to students

who are in full school uniform.

Have a great week!

Last Friday, Healthy Harold

travelled to Ivanhoe to chat to

our students about the

importance of staying HEALTHY!

Jack, in Year 3, said that Healthy

Harold taught him all about

eating the right amount of fruit

and vegetables and exercising

regularly.

Thanks for visiting us, Healthy

Harold!

Wishing a big

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to Cea-Anna who turns 8

tomorrow and also to Ricardo

who turns 2 today!!!

The students had a very special

visitor on Friday.

‘Rae-Rae’ the merino lamb travelled in

from Morningside Station and enjoyed a

great day playing with students and

drinking bottles!

On Monday last week the primary students competed in the Amazing

Race. We got into our teams and we had envelopes with a clue and a

sticker chart, we needed to collect stickers from each challenge. The

first clue was different for every team, and told us where to go for the

first challenge.

My name is Fox and flying I will go! Led us to the

playground, where we had to dress up and do a lap of

the equipment. It was emphasising with the high

schoolers watching us. But some of us danced at the

top.

Drawing Ricardo was the art challenge. It was a bit hard to

draw him correctly. Some teams forgot to work together

and did their own pictures instead.

Ms Mafi gave the instructions at

the flag poles. We had to raise the

flags on the right poles, then take

them down and fold them up.

Some teams got the flags upside

down. Cea-Anna got caught under

the flag as it was lowered.

At the farm Ms Alison and Mr McBeth helped us plant a

seedling into a pot. It was easy but dirty work.

At the basketball station Jayda was there to help us out. We

had to shoot 10 hoops, if we couldn't do that we had to do

10 push-ups and run on the spot for 1 minute. It was funny

when we missed the hoop. Jada got a mouth full of dirt

when she was doing push-ups.

At the library we got a little note with a book name from Mrs

Howard. We had to look it up on Oliver to find where the

book was in the library. Some of the books were easy to find

and some were harder.

The maths challenge was hard, you

had to use only 4 sticks to yard up

10 pigs. Working together made it

easier.

At the end the teachers told us an animal to make out

of our clue cards. It was very tricky and we needed

hints.

The winners were Ms Jess and Aisake, and Ella and

Kyeanna. They were happy with a prize of just a

sticker, but Miss Natalie told them to ask for more.

Eventually they got a real prize.

Congratulation to everyone who participated.

Thank you to local author Marie Kelly for

donating a copy of her book to the school

library.

I have read her book and it makes for

interesting reading.

In one chapter she talks about her teachers’

disappointment and displeasure in her, but

goes on to say how another teacher had a

different way of teaching, which cultivated

her learning ability and she developed into an

engaged and successful student!

The Ivanhoe Roosters travelled to Narrandera on Saturday to take the field in

the ProTen Community Cup 2021 Knockout. The team has only had 1

training run together and from the results of the first two games on

Saturday, it is obvious that the boys work together really well and will only

improve from here on.

Kyle Archibald was great for the team with his big voice from the back and

his hard running. Tomasi played a fantastic first game of league. We can’t

wait to see his improvement throughout the season. Jayden Pippin also

made his debut for Ivanhoe as no. 6 and will be a big help to Brenton Kitson

in the halves. The Carmichael brothers, Nick and Mark, shared the role of

dummy half and it was hard to split them up with the work they put in.

The forwards led by the year’s captain, Quinten Plum held their own

throughout the game. Mark Huntly, Conrad McGinty, Beau Dunn, Zac O’Neill

and Josh Robertson, all put in the hard yards and it was also great to see the

veteran, Robbie Clark (not meaty) back in the paddock.

All the boys played exceptionally well and it is shaping up to be a great

season ahead of us.
