Newsletter: Term 2 Week 10 (28/6/16)
FROM THE SCHOOL ON A HILL
Dear Parents/Carers, The tributes and condolences have started flowing in for Mrs Rumble and her family. Yesterday, there were lovely emails and gestures from her colleagues at Mathoura PS, Deni South PS and Deni High school. I’d once again like to thank the counsellors that helped on Monday, and also Haylee Chadderton who gave up her time in the morning to support
the staff and students. Please note that the funeral arrangements for Mrs Rumble are:
Service-at Deniliquin High School MPC, starting 1pm on Monday, July 4, to be followed with refreshments at her old stomping ground-Deni North PS.
NB. The school canteen will be providing food for Cherie’s post-funeral nibbles. If you can assist with donations of slices, cakes and the like, please contact Maureen , 0438814799. On Friday at around 2:50pm each student will farewell Cherie, by sending aloft a pink or purple balloon.

GIGGLES Giggles, the slimy monster was very naughty. He
was cheeky to his dad. He was scared because
his dad was going to kick his butt.
He was hiding in a bush in the forest.
At the same time, Mitchell, Amy, Tynen, Brydey
and Riley were going hunting in the forest. They
were hunting for monsters.
Suddenly Amy heard a noise. It was coming from
a bush.
“WOOOH!” It sounded like a ghost.
The kids were not scared. They were brave.
They crept towards the bush.
They saw a trail of blue slime. They followed the
slime. They found a blue monster. It was
Giggles. He was bigger than an elephant.
Giggles saw Amy. She was pretty, so Giggles ate
her.
Giggles saw Mitchell. He looked delicious, so he
ate him.
Giggles saw Brydey. He was still hungry, so he
ate her.
Giggles saw Riley. She looked yummy, so he ate
her.
And then, Giggles saw Tynen. He tried to catch
him, but Tynen was too fast.
Tynen got away, and punched the slimy monster
in the belly. Giggles was knocked out.
The kids climbed out of Giggles’ giant belly.
“We have caught a monster!” they yelled.

THE BLOB OF BLUE JELLY
One night, a big blob of blue jelly came out of a
garbage bin. It had yellow dots on the top of its
head.
It was thirsty, so it wobbled over to a swimming
pool. It drank all of the water. It drank so much
water, it exploded.
And then, it came back alive.
Inside the house, Alyssa, Kyah, Kyle and Indi
were asleep. They all woke up when they heard
the explosion.
Kyah, Kyle and Indi went outside to have a look.
Alyssa stayed inside because she was scared.
Kyle saw a big, blob of jelly. It had massive,
rainbow possum eyes.
The blob growled. It had sharp teeth.
Kyle ran to the shed and got a net. He threw the
net onto the blob. It was trapped.
Indi was very strong. She pulled a tree out and
hit the jelly blob. The blob roared.
Alyssa ran out of the house. She had some
spoons and some jelly cups. She gave everyone a
spoon each, and the kids filled up the cups with
blue jelly.
Kyle was lucky. He had yellow dots in his jelly.
The blue blob was gone, and the kids ate jelly
forever.
Ideas from Alyssa, Kyah, Kyle and Indi
What is it, and
where did it come
from?

THE ALIEN SLIME Talitha, Benji, Seth, Xavier and Annabel were
walking to school.
Annabel saw a spaceship in the bushes.
Benji found a trail of slime.
Xavier said, “ lets follow that trail!”
The kids followed the trail up to the spaceship.
The spaceship was open. The kids went inside.
They saw an alien slime. It was blue. It had
yellow polkadots on its leg and its arms. It had
dark eyes and slimy feet.
The doors shut and the kids were trapped.
Talitha found a hammer and she smashed a
window. The broken glass went everywhere.
Some glass hit the alien slime.
The alien started crying. Seth pulled the glass
out of the alien slime.
The slime said, “thank you!”
The slime started up the spaceship. The
spaceship took off with the kids inside. The
slime kept the kids forever.
Ideas from Talitha, Benji, Seth, Xavier and
Annabel

Jacquie Marshall July Fundraiser
My Town Children’s Design Competition
Our mission is to encourage action in our community & give the children of Deniliquin a helping
hand in being creative & allowing our younger generation to help improve our town. Also giving
them a voice to put forward their ideas & not only listen but act on them & incorporate them
into making our town the best it can be. Children are major users of public space, experiencing it
from a different perspective to anyone else & we need to embrace this.
Competition: Put forward your idea on how to make our town a better place to live & more interesting
for locals & visitors alike. (Ideas could include – A chalk play area for younger children in our park, decorate picnic tables in our parks to brighten them up, children’s cooking classes once a month or a small sensory garden in our park with a water fea-ture & mosaics by the children to be enjoyed by the community) these are just examples & I cannot wait to
read all of the exciting ideas that the children will come up with. Please keep ideas on a small scale so they
can be made possible, ideas like Cinemas or Mini Golf are too big for this competition.
