goals for your child for the remainder of the school year.

Kerrimuir School Fair 2019
Preparations are in full swing for the Kerrimuir School Fair 2019 to be held on Saturday 9th
November. A big thank you must go out to all the members of the organising committee for the all the hard work they have put in to ensure this day is a huge success. The school fair is a great opportunity to get to know other school families and raise some money to continue to make the facilities at Kerrimuir engaging for
all students.
Footy Day
Planning is in full swing for Footy Day next Friday. Remember to wear your club colours, jumpers and beanies.
The parade will start at 10.00am on the FFG with footy rotation starting at 11.30am. I am expecting to see a large contingent of proud and passionate Richmond fans this year. Go the Yellow and
Black.
Last Day of Term 3 next week
A reminder to all parents that school finishes at 2.30pm next Friday 20th September.
Camp Australia will be operating as normal from 2.30pm

Face Painters wanted for the KPS Fair!
We already have several parents in our school
community with some facepainting know-how, but
are looking for a few more to add to the team for
this year’s fair.
Specific facepainting experience isn’t necessary,
but we are looking for people with some skills/
interest/confidence in the creative arts.
All materials provided along with
opportunities for practice sessions in
the lead up to the fair.
If you are interested, please contact
Katherine Harding on
or phone 0420 939 008.
A reminder to all families that hats
need to worn by all students
between the beginning of
September and the end of April.
Please note a baseball cap is not
acceptable as it does not provide
enough protection.

going to take

Enter dates into a digital calendar: e.g., identify the day of the week, the time between
dates and set reminders
Help you to make a travel plan using timetables

Shopping
Children can:
Estimate the total cost of your supermarket purchase
Estimate and weigh the fruit and vegetables; Compare two
items for the best value for money
Discuss if an item on “special” is really that special
Find specific items (e.g., medium-sized tin of red beans, 2
litres of milk, 250g of mince)
Find how many apples/bananas will weigh a kilogram
Look for the best buy between different brands of the same item then different sizes of
the same item

As a young scientist and naturalist, you need to know all about Australia and why the land is the way it is. Often
Australia has experienced 10-15 years of severe drought and then flooding rains have come. Get a feel for the
“bush”, the great outback, and our water challenges in Australia. Learn “My Country” and see how it tells about our
country that is so different from where most people came from originally. Match photos to the ideas in the poem.
Learn to read weather maps and compare predictions to reality. What do you believe? Who was Albert Namatjira
and what did he do? Can we do what he did? Develop your memory, gain new words to use, write your own poetry
and create a painting. Why do we need “mateship” more than most?
