QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“If you can do what you do best

and be happy, you are further

along in life than most people.”

LEONARDO DICAPRIO

YEAR 3 / 4 HAPPENINGS

Year 3 / 4 have been learning all about capacity and

volume over the past couple of weeks. In the lead up

to Halloween we became witches and wizards and

made up some magic potions. The magic potions

had to be exactly 600 ml and contain six different

ingredients. Some of the ingredients the students

came up with were quite gruesome. Eyeballs, doggy

doo and frogs tails were just some

ingredients that went in to the

cauldron when creating some

interesting potions.

YEAR 6 FUNDRAISING

Congratulations to Mrs Walmsley who was the lucky winner of our Skittle Guessing Competition. There

were 1117 skittles in total and Mrs Walmsley used her powers of mathematical deduction, coming in

with an estimation of 1140 skittles... pretty close! Thank you to everyone who placed a guess and

supported the Year 6's in raising money for their graduation. We were able to raise an additional $100

with this competition to go towards food and decorations. I'd like to give a special mention to the

few Year 3, 4 and 5 students who willingly walked around the school during their lunch times to help

with the fundraiser. We could not have done it without you!

PRIMARY INTENSIVE SWIMMING

Did you know we have Mighty Manta rays, Dashing Dolphins, and Swift Sharks at our Swimming

lessons?

This week is the third week of swimming lessons taking place for infants and primary students. The

students have been allocated their swim team and enjoy learning to swim, having fun and keeping

cool. Students are growing confident week by week and everyone is enjoying the cool water in this

wicked heat.

Students are reminded that full swimwear and swim shirt are required as well as sunscreen and a hat.

Next week will see both Primary and

Infants attend swimming every

Wednesday to the end of term (Week

10). Year 3 / 6 will be having their

lunchtime upon returning from the pool

at 11:30 am.

Swimming Times:

Year 3 / 6: 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Year K / 2: 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
