Term 1 Week 10 Wednesday 4th April, 2018

Thank you Thank you to everyone for your support at the Easter Assembly. It is always great to have the support of the community both young and ‘not so young’. Congratulations again to our Year 6 Captains and SRC who helped organise and run the activities. A job well done.

Leadership Sam Conlan and Claire Burcham, as our school captains, will both receive a letter this week from Stephanie Cook MP Member for Cootamundra. Part of the letter reads A leadership positon at school provides a wonderful opportunity to take an active role in the school community and work with others to achieve the best possible outcomes. All student representatives and captains, as you know, are essential ambassadors who embody the school values and school mottos...Being approachable, reliable and trustworthy are just some of the traits you already undoubtedly possess. Your representation of the school, in and outside the school community, will strengthen you in many ways ahead of your future endeavours. You should be very proud…

ANZAC Day Our students are again invited to attend the Barellan ANZAC service on Monday 25th April. This will be a formal service requiring full winter school uniform to be worn. We will let you know times etc when available. Binya Public School Centenary Monday 9th April 7pm at Binya School Library. This will be an opportunity to ‘brainstorm’ ideas for the upcoming milestone and to pick a date to celebrate. All community invited.

Music Mrs McDermott is still trying to source guitars or ukuleles for terms 2 and 3. Could you please let the school know if you could lend the school a guitar for our students to use. Helen Foy Relieving Principal

By Noah I am a sporty person and a believer. I wonder if I will ever not be gluten free. I hear the sheep baaing in the paddock. I see my friends and I playing. I wish that one day I will go to the Olympics. I am a sporty person and a believer. I pretend that I am at the Olympics. I feel the wind along my skin. I touch the netball as I go for a goal at the Olympics. I worry that I will never be able to leave my family. I cry because my great grandpa died. I am a sporty person and a believer.

I don’t think dogs are the best pets. Firstly, dogs leave annoying things in the yard so then you have to clean it up that means no one can play outside and play soccer. Dogs sometimes vomit. At my house, Yoder is cool, but he occasionally vomits on the cement and attracts ants. This is a problem because if an ant bites you it gives you stinging red pain. Dogs bite people. An example is when my Uncle Jamie was bitten on the cheek and the dog ripped his flesh off him. That’s one thing I don’t won’t to ever experience. Dogs are vicious animals. They kill sheep and cows. What can a gold fish do to sheep and cows? Dogs can also attack and kill people. Next time you go to the pet shop, get a parrot instead of a deadly dog. By Charlie

I am good at dancing and being very kind. I wonder how the environment was created. I hear the trees whistling in the wind. I see the sun rising every morning it is so beautiful. I am good at dancing and being very kind. By Ella

I am good at being kind and nice. I wonder what’s on the other side of the world. I hear any sound that comes to my head. I see a little bee on a little flower. The bee gets nectar out of the flower wow! I am good at being kind and nice. By Natalie

I am sporty and fun. I wonder who made Pokémon. I hear my sisters nagging me. I see my sisters nagging me. I want free internet. I am sporty and fun. I pretend I have free internet and use it all. I touch my phone. I worry my sisters will be annoying. I cry when I can’t catch rare Pokémon. I am sporty and fun. I understand I am bad at history at school. I say I need my phone. I dream of Pokémon. I try to catch rare Pokémon. I hope I can finish a Pokémon game. I am sporty and fun. By Bailey

I am a dreamer and a believer. I wonder why I am so lucky to have a family and a home. I hear the soft wind as I drift through the sky with the clouds. I see the soft, fluffy and delicate clouds brush past my arm. I want to grow and achieve my dreams. I am a dreamer and a believer. I pretend at night that I can fly into the pitch-black sky and touch the golden stars. I feel I can do anything when I touch the biggest shiniest star. I touch the cold damp air run through my fingers as I slowly drift higher and higher. I worry that if I make a wrong move all of my friends will disappear. I cry if things go terribly wrong and people end up getting hurt. I am a dreamer and a believer. I understand that if things go horribly wrong I need to remember life is not easy. I say always strive for what you believe in. I dream when I’m older I’ll have a family of my own, a house and a job. I try to be the best person I can. I hope all my family will be healthy and will live long and many doctors will fix cancers and diseases. I am a dreamer and a believer. By Claire

I think that dogs are the best pets because without dog’s life would be very hard and boring. Firstly, dogs help us hunt down wild animals to eat like foxes. You don’t have to have just one dog you could also have two dogs or maybe even three or maybe even four or maybe even… Well you get the idea. Dogs are helpful because they help on the farm by rounding up animals like sheep, pigs, cows, chooks etc. Dogs don’t just help us on the farm they also help blind people when someone is trying to attack them. Dogs also help policemen by chasing robbers when the police are not very fast. Dogs also help policemen by sniffing out bombs since dogs have a better sense of smell then us. That is why I think that dogs are the best pets. By Greer

I am good at sport and being a kid. I wonder about the other worlds. I hear birds. I see mum and dad. I wish I had a toy. I am good at sport and being a kid. By Jonty.
