Intensive Swimming

Intensive swimming begins next week

(Week 8) and continues until the end of

Week 9. We will go to the pool

EVERYDAY for swimming sessions.

Students need to wear their swimming

gear to school every day for Weeks 8

and 9 whilst intensive swimming is on.

Students will also need to bring a

packed recess and water bottles as well

as goggles, sunscreen, clean/dry clothes

to change into and anything else they’ll

need at the pool. There is no cost to

parents with the school covering entry

costs ant the P & C paying for

transport. Thank you to the P & C for

your generous donation.

Special Lunch Day

The P & C ran a very successful special

lunch day last Friday. Students and

staff thoroughly enjoyed the sausage

sandwiches! Thank you to the parents

who assisted on the day, your efforts

were very much appreciated!

Presentation Night

This year’s Presentation Night will be in

Week 9 this term on Tuesday the 6th

December, starting at 6:30pm. We have

moved it forward a week, so it doesn’t

clash with other school’s presentation

nights. Please mark it on your calendar,

and we hope to see many of you there!

Principal’s Message

Welcome to Week 7!

This week we have five girls travelling

to Sydney with me to participate in

Schools Spectacular from Wednesday

to Saturday. We wish them the best

of luck and hope they have a great

time!

School swimming will continue this

Friday and students will need to be

picked up from the pool on Friday if

they don’t travel on the bus or walk

home. If your child is to stay at the

pool, you will need to send in a note in

with your child.

Students will need to bring $2 per

child for pool entry on Friday.

Intensive swimming will begin next

week (Week 8) and run for 2 weeks.

You will need to fill out the permission

note and indicate your child’s

swimming ability. Please return this by

this Friday 25th November.

Lastly, just a reminder that if you

wish to see a teacher for any reason,

please see the office or the teacher

on duty for any issues or to make an

appointment. In the mornings teachers

are very busy planning and preparing

for the day and don’t always have time

to meet with parents.

Have a great week!

Mrs Welsh

Dingos in the Castle

Wombats in the creek

Crow in the tree

Now they know how to speak

Burrowing in the dirt singing

lots of songs

They need to take a nap

But they burrow all day long

Kangaroos jumping all

around

Eating lots of trees

They want something green

they steal some keys

Mums reading the newspaper

I am reading a book

Ben is watching television

He only has to look

Poodles in the Piggery

Poodles in the piggery

Rats in the house

Parrots in the bed

Kittens chase the mouse

Crawling up the fountain

From the bottom chair

Hiding from the bear

Messing up their hair

Horses in the stables

Call to their friends

Waiting for their dinner

Foals in their pens.

By Rianna Reeves

Randomness

Motorbikes in the shed

Bikes in the room

Rubber in the house

Searching for a broom

Running up the street

From the cross roads

Leaping from the bottom

Pushing through the goats

Navys in the plane

Walk to the machine gun

Taken down by the missile

Two by two they run

The race is slowly over

And theres a stop to fight

The sore are all fixed

The people brang back the kite
