Newsletter Week 8

Free Dress Day Wednesday 12th

December

Due to students being required to wear their

uniform on Wednesday night for Presentation Night,

they are invited to wear free dress on Wednesday.

As there is an extra Fun Fitness lesson with

Sam on this day – students MUST be dressed in

clothes that are appropriate to play sport in

including a hat and sport shoes. No sleeveless

tops, thongs, sandals or short skirts or shorts are to

be worn.

SOURCE Water and Three Blue Ducks

Restaurant

We have been gifted 10 hydropanels that will

supply a drought resilient supply of SOURCE

drinking water for our school, families and

community. The 10-hydropanel SOURCE array was

donated by Three Blue Ducks, Byron Bay and will

produce:

- 3,000 standard bottles of water per month

- Offset the equivalent of 540,000 single-use plastic bottles in its 15 year lifetime - The array has a payback period of 2.5 years versus trucking bottled water The hydropanels use a combination of materials, science, thermodynamics and controls technology to extract water from the air. The water is stored in a reservoir integrated in the hydropanel and pumped to a dispenser. Bring in your water bottles and fill them up – this is a gift to the community, not just the school. Thank you Three Blue Ducks and Zero Mass Water. K-4 Excursion to Quirindi Miniature Train and Jump Up

Thank you to Julie Edmonds for her assistance in organising this excursion for the K-4 students and to the P&C for providing the bus. Thank you also to the teachers for their supervision and to Jump Up and Quirindi Miniature Train for ensuring our students enjoyed their day out. Thanks must also go to our students who are a pleasure to take out into the community.

Week 8 in K/1

During InvigorArt last week, students enjoyed trying

some new art methods and techniques. It was lovely to

see so many students stepping out of their comfort

zones and having a go.

K/1 have been busy practising their sweet singing for

the Christmas Carols on Saturday.





As we wind down for the end of the year, it is nice to

see the students still enjoying learning and being proud

of their efforts and achievements.

K-4 Excursion

Wow! What a fantastic day we had on our K-4

excursion!

We started the day travelling to Quirindi Rural Heritage

Village and Miniature Railway. All aboard.... we had

great fun enjoying a train ride then off to explore the

museum.

After a quick bite to eat, we boarded the bus and

headed to Tamworth “Jump Up Trampoline Zone.” We

explored all the different trampolining techniques and

then put them into practise.

We learned that 10 minutes on a trampoline jumping

is equal to half an hour of running!! After our time

was up... we had lunch then boarded the bus back to

school. The bus was full of very tired sleepy heads!

5/6

5/6 have had a relaxing and mindful week at school,

making Christmas decorations to display on our

windows, drawing and making Christmas cards and

completing wordpuzzles and find–a-words. We are

also working on a 1000 piece puzzle. It is wonderful

to see the children focused and working together on

a project.
