SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Term 4 Week 5 4th November, 2014

We have started further assessments of the children in reading, spelling and maths and I will be happy to discuss these with you within a couple of weeks. As I said on my introductory letter, please don’t hesitate to call in any time before or after school or to make a time to see me on my Thursdays off class.

MultiLit

This Thursday, I will be training our staff in the implementation of the MultiLit intervention program, as I am a certified trainer for this. This program intensively tutors targeted students in their sight words, word attack skills, reading fluency skills and has a spelling component as well. It has proven very successful in giving students a boost with their reading and spelling. The resources and staffing allocation required to implement MultiLit were already here in the school and our staff are keen to learn about this program, so it will be easy to get it up and running with targeted students who will benefit from it. We will also be looking into purchasing the MiniLit resources, which is the equivalent program for younger students.

HEALTH NEWS

Veggie and Fruit Hints

Lettuce wraps are a good way to pack a lot of veggies into a meal. Chop up any vegetables you have such as carrots, celery, and capsicum. Add spices to your liking and sauté it all together. If you don’t have the time, the chopped veggies can also be served raw. Pile the mixture onto lettuce leaves and serve. It becomes an interactive and fun way for kids to eat. Try adding chicken, tuna, or egg salad for a boost of protein!

Nothing is easier than raw veggie sticks and dip! A variety of vegetables can be used as well as some low-fat dips. Try hummus or a simple avocado yogurt dip to go with the veggie sticks. Peanut butter or cream cheese may also go well with a vegetable such as celery sticks.

Put a twist on fresh fruit by chilling in the freezer, it gives fruit a different texture. Freezing works with all fruits, but grapes, blueberries and bananas are especially tasty when frozen.

Principal’s Message

Halloween Movie Night

Congratulations to our P&C for a fantastic Halloween Movie Night last Friday and for all the effort that had gone into organising the sausage sizzle, treats and setting up the movie. It was wonderful to see such a great attendance from our students, parents, staff and community and I enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many of you. The children’s costumes were just amazing and a lot of fun was had by all.

A big thank you to the students, parents, staff and community of Currabubula, who made me feel very welcome in my first week in the school.

Senior RoomHow the emu got it’s long neck

 Long ago in Australia there lived an emu named Eric. Eric lived in the Northern Territory. He loved to eat the scorpions for every meal of the day and even for snacks sometimes, but one day Eric was chasing this one big juicy scorpion for ages, then in a flash the scorpion dug under ground. Eric stuck his head in the ground looking for it but when he got it his head was stuck! He tried to get out with all his might but he couldn’t because he had a really short neck. He was on his knees so he couldn’t dig with his feet. The three monkeys saw him, they pulled and tugged. They went to go and find some help, they found the giraffes. They were strong so they came and pulled and tugged and pop! Eric was out of the hole with a freakishly long neck. He went back to his flock and his best friend Larry looked at him very funny and said “Why do you have such a long neck?” Eric ran to the pond and looked but at least he didn’t have to get on his knees to get scorpions anymore. And from that day forth all the emus were born with long necks.By Kassady

How the pug got a flat face Long ago in a town there was a pug. He was very sad the way he was. He couldn’t see properly because he had a really big face. One day the pug went on a long walk. He was crossing the road and a car ran into his face. He got stuck in the grill on the car, in a couple of hours he got out. He walked and looked in the mirror and saw his flat face. From now on all pugs are born with a flat face.By James

How the pug got a flat face Long, long, long, long, long ago in a small country two people lived in a house. They had a pug and it was very naughty. They tied it up but it would get out. One day it ran into a shed then it got a flat face. In the end it was a good pug. Then all pugs were born with flat faces. And all pugs are good not silly.By Beau

How the frill neck got its frill 

Long, long ago in Currabubula there lived a lizard that didn’t have any difference. But one day the lizard went for a walk and all of a sudden the lizard named Lizy bumped into a fox. It gave Lizy such a fright Lizy bounced back and got stuck in a leaf. So Lizy tried to get it off but

Junior Room Once upon a vampire time a kid went to trick or treat. He saw a vampire. He said, “I want to suck your blood”. He ran and ran as fast as he could. There was a fire. He jumped into a tree. He died. The End. By Seth

Once upon a scary night there was a little girl about five. She was off to her Gran’s house. She came to a forest on a spooky path. She was shocked to see a bear! She screamed but she heard a noise. It said “Oooooh!” She ran like the wind. A tree scratched her on the way. She started to bleed it was red. So she ran once again off she went. She went up the creaky stairs up to her Gran’s apartment but there was a dragon guarding it. So she waited for an hour then the dragon fell in the river. Then she went inside there was a wolf! Her Gran wasn’t there, then she heard a noise. “Blerk” it said. She found her Gran locked in a cupboard. She got her out then they punched it and kicked it and punched it again then they killed it. The End By Issy

Once upon a scary night two little children went to the witches house to do trick or treating. The children heard a noise it was a wolf. The children found out that the house was haunted. The children ran and ran all the way back and the wolf was following all the way back to the house to kill the little girl. But the little girl did not get killed. She killed the wolf. By Alyssa

Once upon a scary dark night three children left their house to go trick or treating but when they saw the haunted palace they looked back and they forgot the way back to their house. So they walked a bit longer until the saw a big bad wolf. They stopped and turned around and ran as fast as they could but they ended up in a graveyard. They hid because they knew that there was a vampire and there were bones in there. Then they saw somebody there. They thought it was a vampire but it wasn’t a vampire so they went and said, “Where is the main street?” He said that it is right there. “Thank You”, they said. Then they went trick or treating. They got a lot of lollies then they went home and they said, “We went on an adventure, we saw a vampire and the big bad wolf there”. Mum said that there is no such thing as a vampire or the big bad wolf. Then they saw the vampire and the big bad wolf. They screamed… By Phebe
