PRINCIPAL’S NOTES School Council Meeting Our first school Council Meeting for 2018 will be held tomorrow evening at 6pm in the Library. This is important in shaping decisions regarding the vision for the school. If you have any ideas or thoughts, please feel free to discuss them with your community representatives.

School Plan / 2017 Annual Report We are currently completing the draft of the School Plan from 2018-20. This follows consultation with students, staff and parents to guide the school’s development over the coming years. Any further suggestions will be welcome. Some developments include Art , Music, PD/H/PE taught by specialist teachers from K-12. We have sourced an Agriculture teacher for one day per week, who is also happy to work with junior students.

Year 1/2 What a fantastic first week back we had. The students in the 1/2 class have done some beautiful paintings which are being used to cover Spelling, Journal and Writing books. We have settled into the classroom well and we have been working hard all day. This morning we began our week of Spelling. This week we are focussing on the sound ‘b’ as in ball, balloon and bubble. The Year 1 students have done such a great job writing out all of their spelling words into their books! Homework is going home this week with students having a spelling list to complete each night, and a maths page that relates to what we did for maths last week in class. Thank you to those students who were able to bring in an old shirt for painting. If you have an old shirt at home that we could use as a paint shirt, please send it in with your child’s name on it.

Year 3/4 What a great start to the school year Year 3/4 had last week. I was super impressed and congratulated the class on their behaviour and attitude. I’ll get those Red Slips out this week! In our first art lesson, we created some ‘Summer Sun’ artwork, which will brighten up the classroom. We have been settling into new routines and this week we start our Spelling in class and also for Homework. This week we will focus on words with “b” or “bb”. In Maths we are looking at place value which will lead onto addition and sub-traction algorithms. Each day we practise our times tables in our maths games. I will also send home a brief class information note this week. Have a great week!

Year 5/6 In Literacy during week 2 we are going to be focusing on creative writing and painting a picture in the reader’s mind by using descriptive language. This week the students will be taught about the structure of a narrative as well using a story starter to help them create an exciting story. Once completed the students will use the computers to publish their stories. For spelling we are focusing on the “B”; B as in ball and Bb as in bubble. The first sound for our spelling is a simple sound to get the students used to the senior primary spelling program. This is because there are only two graphemes for the one phoneme. Late last week our class learnt all about graphemes and phonemes. I encourage parents and carers to quiz their children on this as it is very important. In Maths this week we focussing on whole number. This includes addition, place value and learning about factors. In Science we are focusing on batteries and electricity. We came up with a range of appliances that need batteries that range from drills to remote controls. Throughout this unit we will be creating circuits and looking at how things work.

Sporting Profile

Bailey Thompson is a local 9 year old boy that lives life to the fullest everyday. He loves fishing, football and hanging out with his family on weekends. There’s just something about his infectious personality that makes you want to see him succeed in life. While his journey on this earth hasn’t always been easy, Bailey has absolutely no fear and accomplishes almost everything he sets his mind too. Bailey is an amputee and has a prosthetic leg that assists him with walking, running and getting around like other able bodied children. Bailey competes in every sporting event he can. Last year he went to State three times! He won a gold medal at the State Cross Country and came home proudly displaying it around his neck. During the swimming season Bailey has been attending Western NSW Area Swimming Carnivals on a weekend and competing under the Mendooran Merrygoen Amatuer Swimming Club. Bailey’s family take him every weekend to these events so he can better his swimming and make life long friends. Bailey’s most recent achievement was at the weekend in Dubbo. Bailey won three gold medals in the 9 year old Multiclass section! He came first in the 50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke and 50m freestyle. Bailey even managed to take a huge 5.71 seconds off his personal best time for freestyle. Bailey loves to feel like he is making a difference to his own life. Bailey aspires to become a Para-Olympian and compete across the world in many different sports. Congratulations Bailey on your achievements so far and best of luck for all the future ones to come.
