Thank you to Louise Quirk, Les

Berryman, Barry Callaghan and teachers

for organising the day. It is a big effort to

get all the equipment up to the school

and set up in preparation and then to pull

it down at the end of the day. Thanks to

Rob Commolatti and his band of helpers

for providing tasty food at the event.

Dr Harry Kanasa returned to our school on Monday

from Griffith University to continue our learning about

the teaching of Maths. He presented in 4 different

classrooms and demonstrated a Maths Inquiry

process for teachers to observe. The kids had great

fun as they tried to solve the problem of leaping

frogs. It resulted in great discussion amongst the

students, working in teams, turn taking, and building

their resilience and persistence. At the staff meeting

that afternoon, also, were tested and had to solve

problems using the Singaporean Bar Method.

Grounds:

Work has begun on the new drainage system in the

Year One and Two playground area. This is very

exciting as not only will it prevent the flooding

problems but it will be a nicer area for students. We

will plant new trees where the old ones have been

removed to allow work to begin, and an underground

watering system and turf will be laid.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

This last week has been a busy week.

School Events:

Prep students attended the Under 8’s Week event,

Romp in the Park. This is a great excursion for

the students as they get to participate in a number

of activities. Thank you to staff for taking them to

this event.

It was a beautiful, sunny day for our sports

carnival which was held at Rockhampton

Grammar. It was a highly successfully day for our

students. There was great participation and it was

wonderful to see so many parents attending the

day. Many thanks to Rockhampton Grammar for

continuing to let us use their oval and facilities.

Another Rockhampton Eisteddfod has come and gone. The Cresso community should be very proud of the students who represented the school on the Pilbeam stage. Senior Choir placed 3rd, Cresso Crackers 3rd and Senior Signers were Highly Commended. Another successful year Then Cresso Crackers opened the Taste of the World festival last week and everyone loved them! Special thanks to our Cresso families for giving up their time on a Saturday afternoon.

String Ensemble made their debut performance at

FANFARE last Thursday and played incredibly well. Congratulations to Allera, Anikkah, Casey, Ella, Jamie, Jazmyne, Lani, Luke, Lyndell, Monique and Taleah for achieving Cresso’s first ever GOLD award.

Miss Dalglish had 3 schools competing on Thursday and all 3 were Gold. That’s an indication of how talented and committed Miss Dalglish is. Thanks Miss Dalglish for all your hard work.

And now we have the Rocky Show coming up.

Everyone has received their permission slips.

I would really appreciate everyone returning their notes ASAP so that I know who is available. We understand everyone has other commitments but it just helps us for our planning.

Notes / envelopes need to be returned by Monday 11th June

Our Composer of the Month was Ludwig Van

All classes are heading into final assessment pieces. Most students have practical pieces to perform, even Years 1 and 2 will be playing rhythms for me.

A Little Bit Quirky

What a busy week this week!

Sports day Monday at RGS was full on. Scores so far are

very close.

Although it was disappointing to see some children did

not bother coming, those who attended had fun and the

little ones always provide some entertainment.

My thanks to the staff who assisted on the day and the

family members who came to cheer the competitors on.

Tuesday the 800m events were on at RGS.

On Thursday we have the field events for those children

born 2009 or earlier. Please remember hats and water

bottles, with NAMES.

I have some lost property from sports day . I will hold it

in my office for a few days until I send it to lost property

so please check in if you are missing something.

Oh, and did I mention it’s State of Origin tonight!!

Training

There is no training this week.

Fun Run

Our annual Fun Run will be held on Friday 29th June, the

last day of term. All children participate and it should be

finished by lunchtime. We will be practising the course

over the next couple of weeks.
