Principals News

Week 5 already and we are halfway through the last term for 2016. The next five weeks are certainly actioned packed

with lots more learning and assessment to be completed, along with swimming, the school play and awards night, Yr 6

graduation, RI play, Prep – Yr 3 excursion to Dreamtime and the Crazy Joker, transition days and interviews for our

seniors, and more.

As part of the PE curriculum the students will be taking part in swimming lessons at the Biloela Pool, this will be

completed in a 5 day block starting on the 01/12/2016 until the 07/12/2016. Regular classes will be still taking place

either side of the swimming times, but lunch breaks may be a little different. Students will be bussed to and from the

pool, departing at 11:30am and returning at approximately 1:30pm. There will be invoices and more information to

come out next week.

Unfortunately Chappy has had to postpone this weekend’s Daddy Daughter Day as he has lost all of his work, laptop

and personal belongings in the fire at the high school and this along with the extra workload to support the students

and staff at the high school he didn’t feel 100% prepared for this event or able to give our year 6 girls the day they

deserve. He will provide more information in the coming weeks, and thank you for understanding.

EDSCO 2017 has been sent home, so please check your student’s bags. If you require any further information please

come and see Michelle on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

The year 6 Graduation Dinner invites are out, please RSVP as soon as you can.

The RE Annual Christmas play will be on Friday the 25/11/2016 at 11:45am in the administration building, everyone

welcome.

The next P&C meeting is on the 08/11/2016 at 3pm, all welcome.

Last week we had the Biloela Community Kindy visiting, three of our pre-preps currently attend there. They joined

the Prep – Yr 3 class and had a lovely time participating in activities centred around a “Bear Hunt.

It has been lovely to have our pre preps visiting our school on Wednesdays participating in the pre-prep program. This

week there were lots of speckled frogs! Also thanks to their parents for constructing our large pin board while they

were here.

Last Friday the 28th

of October was

“World Teachers Day”, I would like

to thank our very small but dedicated

team here at Jambin State School and

also thank you to all the parents who

helped with our surprise morning tea

on Monday, the flowers, cake and

presents were greatly appreciated.

A big thank you to Dianne who has

provided school banking for our

school, it has been fantastic to see all

the excited students bring in their

pocket money to bank every Tuesday. It has also provided the school with $222.91 as a commission.

Lastly I would like to acknowledge the dedication and the hard work our tuckshop ladies and particularly our

convenor Mrs Jodie Wilson have again put in for another year of Tuckshop success. This Friday 4th

of November is

Tuckshop Day. Thank you for being great volunteers and providing delicious lunches for all to enjoy.

Yours in Education,

Kerry

ZOE’S ZAPPIN NEW’S

Welcome back to Zoe’s Zappin News. This term I have

an assistant, Abbie Dunn.

In English the grade 4-5s have been looking at

traditional stories with Mrs Boon while the Grade 6s

have been looking at short stories on sustainability with

Mrs O and are going to make their own short stories for

themselves.

Here is a riddle: there are 10

fish in a tank, 2 drown, 4

swim away and 3 die how

many fish are left?

Answer: 10 because none of

them have been taken out of the

tank.

This term in The Arts the students have been preparing

for the school play “Alice in Wonderland”.

In Science this term the 5-6s have been learning about

the solar system and space while the 3-4s have been

learning about rocks, erosion and how earth quakes

happen.

Why did the Groom cross the road?

Answer: To get to the other Bride!

In Japanese this week the students have been learning
