WHOLE SCHOOL ASSEMBLY2.30pm, THURSDAY, MAY 19TH (TOMORROW)

INFANTS CLASS PRESENTING ITEMS( P&C Meeting Postponed To Friday, June 3RD )

Dear Parents and Students,

Our vegetable garden is nearing completion. Thank you to those parents who gave up some of their time last Friday ~ Denise Williamson, Christina Potts, Pat Haack and Bronwen Kamer. I’d especially like to thank Shane Rowe who has helped to make the garden beds, carted soil, sawdust and gravel and given up a lot of his spare time over the last week.

Our Year Six students worked hard last Thursday making their first batch of milkshakes for all the thirsty students. It was great to hear lots of ‘thank you’s’ from the children as they received their drinks. Milkshake making will continue each Thursday throughout this term.

Well done to all the children who represented our school in the parade at the Oyster Festival last Sunday. Thank you for giving up your time and doing such a great job at representing Central Tilba Public School.

Tomorrow (Thursday) we will be holding our first Whole School Assembly of Term Two. Children from the Infants Class will present items. The Assembly will begin at 2.30pm. However, after consultation with our P&C President, Nadine Hills, the P&C Meeting will be postponed until Friday, June 3rd, at 2.00pm (in two weeks’ time).

Good luck to all the children taking part in Friday’s District Cross Country at Potato Point. Jai Reed, Tayla Butcher, Meg Hawken, Rhonda Bell, Cohen Bell, Nicholas Carter, Eric Hills, Johanna Kamer, Luka Potts-Haack, Tommy Hawken, Natarlia Went, Libby-Lee Cunningham, Digger Cowie and Coupar Woods will represent the school. Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered to transport the children.

Our School Education Director, Mr David Ashford, visited the school yesterday and commented on the high quality environmental education and creative and performing arts programs that are happening in our school.

THE VEGGIE GARDEN TAKES SHAPE ………..

Note From Nadine, Our P&C PresidentHello to all!Hoping that everyone is enjoying the beautiful Autumn weather and the start to warm fires … We are into the fourth week of term and already there has been much activity at our school! During the holidays, the stall at the Tilba Easter Festival was a great success with our team of parents and staff cooking well into the afternoon until there was no more to sell – and with a good profit made! Thank you to everyone for the time spent in preparation and in selling. They certainly were days of sharing, laughter and energy! And our children paraded through Tilba in great number, onlookers cheering! Anzac Day was a day in which many gathered together to remember, and our children walked with respect to the Memorial…Our children have been active on sport fields, doing wonderful artwork, making music, singing and excelling in their schoolwork. The veggie garden has been established and waiting to be planted! And this all supported by our school staff and each of you, the parents. What a special school to be part of! I look forward to gathering again at our next P&C meeting on Friday, June 3rd.With thanks and best wishes, From Nadine

STORY WRITING FROM THE INFANTS CLASS

BILLY, YEAR 2Once upon a time I went to a zoo. I saw a monkey. It jumped on my head and said,

“Meow”. Then I saw a lion and it said, “Twit”. Then a plane came along and picked me up. When I got up I saw a baby dinosaur driving the plane. It looked at me and said, “Woof, woof”. Then the dinosaur ran after me. I jumped off the plane. It was very high and I landed in the zoo. I saw the monkey and the lion and went home.

JARRAH, YEAR 2One day I went to the jungle. I saw a two metre high spider. I said, “Can you take me to the heart of the jungle?. He said, “Yes”. They went to the heart of the jungle. He saw a helicopter and he flew all the way back home.

COUPAR, YEAR 2Last week we put posts on our property and out of nowhere jumped a

gorilla. It started to curl up on my lap. Then it started to purr. Then I started to pat it. Then it got up and went back.
