This week I have spoken to various students about correct social networking and their digital footprint. All students must be aware that what they put on social networks stays on there for a prolonged period of me even if the student thinks they have deleted what they have wri en or posted. The digital footprint of all students will be inves gated by prospec ve employers as they leave school and move into the workforce. I spoke to the students about possibly losing their dream job in the future because of things they posted on social networking sites in 2013. Please encourage your child to be a good digital ci zen at all mes. The following website is a good one to help you as parents start this conversa on with all students from K to 12. h p://www.cybersmart.gov.au/ I look forward to mee ng many parents at the school athle cs carnival this Thursday. Have a great week Simon McKinney
Athle c Carnival This Thursday we will hold our Athle cs Carnival at the Hennessey Tape Oval. All students will come to school as normal dressed in their house colours. House colours are as follows:‐ Maple ‐ black and orange Beech ‐ green and gold Cedar ‐ red and white
A er rolls are marked the whole student body will be walked to the oval in me for a 9‐30 War Cry.
We will also be conduc ng our coin trail with the proceeds going to “Give Me 5 For Kids” Hospital appeal.
Parents are most welcome to a end the day and cheer on their children. Students are encouraged to sit in their houses when they are not par cipa ng. Novelty races/games will be provided for non‐par cipators.
Primary League Last Monday three teams from Primary a ended the 7‐aside League Carnival held at Nambucca. We entered a compe ve senior team, a mixed junior team and a senior girl’s tag team. The compe ve senior team played wonderfully and went through the day undefeated. The Tag team lost two games but came good at the end of the day and won the last two. Our junior team drew one, won one and lost two. All members of the teams played very well and enjoyed the day. The whole purpose of the carnival was to expose students to league and hopefully encourage students who don’t normally play to experience the game and take it up. The Senior Compe ve side qualified for a regional final to be played on the 24th June in Coffs Harbour. The winner of this will qualify to play in Sydney later in the Year. We look forward to these games as we will go with a full side be er prepared. During the day we discovered the Group Two League Day was to be held the following day, unfortunately we had not been no fied. A local school had pulled out and the organisers were keen for us to fill the gap. Some quick organisa on was made (only Bowraville Parents could do it) and at 8‐30 Tuesday morning we were on our way to Coffs Harbour to play 13‐aside league, the winner qualifying to play in the Group Carnival in Sydney.

Lost Property Please remember to label your children’s clothing, especially their jumpers. Once again the lost property boxes are full and overflowing.
K‐3 Computer News The K‐3 classes have been working very hard over the last 2 terms during computer lessons. The students have used the Pivot programme to create simple anima ons. The computers have also been used to support the topics being taught in classrooms with students using Tux Paint to create Venn diagrams to sort and classify sea animals. Currently students are learning about managing a catchment while protec ng water quality using the online Catchment Detox game. Parents can help their children greatly by working with them on learning their family names. Knowing last names is needed by students to log onto the internet in all years K‐12 and is an important milestone to achieve in computers in K‐3.
Mr Northfield
Year 2/3 Stories We all had a fantas c day at the Dolphin Marine Magic. This Term, during Literacy Lessons we have been working with the children to create more interes ng sentences by using joining words to link two ideas. We have been encouraging them to use 4 other words such as: when, that, which, when, with, because, as well as and also rather than ‘and’ all the me. By reading the following stories you will be able to see that many children are becoming more confident with this skill. Yesterday, our class went to the Dolphin Marine Magic at Coffs Harbour and we travelled there on the school bus.
We looked at a dolphin’s skeleton. The turtle’s shell is made of kera n.
Our first ac vity we did was hug Aussie who was an Australian seal.
Then we went to see the blue penguins who had different coloured tags on them to tell which one was female and male.
When we were at the li le fish tank there were some tropical fish.
The dolphins were having a race and Bucky cheated because he did not swim the whole pool as he only did three quarters of the pool.
There were two sharks in the tank and one was a Wobbygong shark and I forget what the other one was.
Now you can see why I had a great day at the Dolphin Marine Magic with my class.

Yesterday I went to the Dolphin Marine Magic show in Coffs Harbour on a bus.
My favourite part was when I hugged the sea lion.
I got to brush Zippy the Dolphin’s bright, yellow teeth with a very big tooth brush.
I liked it when we had to call Zippy up from under the water. The dolphin did some tricks like double back flips and riding on a big ball like a sur oard.
By Amanda
I went with my class and teacher to the Dolphin Marine Magic show in Coffs Harbour.
First I got hugged by Ozzie, the Sea Lion and got my photo taken with him. His fur felt like wet rubber.
I liked the bit when we pa ed the dolphins on their belly.
It was a fun day. By Lauren

We went in the bus and met Mum there. She got me hot chips for my lunch.
Amanda cleaned the dolphin’s teeth with a big tooth brush.
By Ben
We went to the Dolphin Marine Magic at Coffs Harbour.
My favourite thing was having my photo taken with Ozzie, the sea lion as he felt wet and slimy.
Then we went to see the li le blue penguins and one of them was in its burrow. If they had a red tag on them they were a boy. The penguin in its burrow had a red tag on it.
A er that we went to the fish tank and there was a Wobbygong shark that was about a metre long. There was also a Cod that was very big.
Next we got to see the dolphins doing a performance and they jumped through a hoop that was high in the air.
At the end of the day we were red and went to sleep on the bus.

Yesterday Kinder, Yr. 1, 2 & 3 went to the Dolphin Marine Magic on a school bus to Coffs Harbour.
We met a Sea Lion named Ozzie. He was 7 years old and we got to have a big hug with Ozzie.
The dolphins were doing cool tricks in the pool, Zippy and Bucky were having a race and Bucky cheated but Zippy won. Amanda got to brush Zippy’s teeth with a very big tooth brush.
I got to throw three hoops at Sydney the sea lion and she had black teeth that were sharp. It had lots of fur to keep it warm at night.
Shaylee and I fell asleep on the bus. By Ella
My story is about going to the Dolphin Marine Magic show at Coffs Harbour. My favourite bit yesterday, was hugging the seal because it felt all soggy and wet. Then we went and watched the dolphins do lots of tricks. When I felt the dolphin’s belly I was really excited because I’ve always wanted to touch a dolphin and see what is felt like because I thought their skin was all rough but it was smooth and rubbery instead. The next thing I liked was seeing the li le, blue penguins as they were sooooo cute and cuddly!! Next I saw a shark and lots of fish swimming around the sea corals and sea anemones. A lot of them were really cool as I have never seen them before. My Mum came with my class and a er a really exci ng day my Mum bought me a cute, li le fairy penguin to remind me of that day.
