The play, originally performed for the 2018 annual school concert, featured all 70 students. The recently formed drama group, with twenty students from Years 1 to 6, has enjoyed the challenge of modifying the script for the Drama Festival. Thank you to those children who worked so well to prepare for the audition. A special congratulations to Year 3 student Oliver, who courageously stepped up to play Wilbur for the audition. An information note will be forwarded to the Drama Group for parents and updated via the newsletter. Small School Athletics Carnival is planned for Friday 28 June at Wolumla Recreation grounds.

Laurie Campbell, Director Educational Leadership visited our school this week and was made feel very welcome by the children and staff. He congratulated the school on the recent award for Healthy Canteens and complimented the excellent selection of programs that are a feature of our school. During the staff meeting following, Mrs Moore and Ms Watchirs presented a workshop on Additive Strategies, following their recent training. Staff conducted discussions around reporting to parents, we want to ensure that our reports are informative and helpful to parents and provide useful feedback to students to assist them to review their learning goals for Semester 2. Spiral Art Gallery Plethora of Postcards 2019 has fired the imagination of students in 3BJ. The children have designed postcard size artwork and have experimented with the idea of plan, draft and redraft their ideas to develop their artwork. The Gallery in Church St Bega, will display the works from Friday 21st of June to Tuesday 16th of July. Reconciliation Week had distinct messages for children; be respectful, value diversity, listen politely, act with honour and courage, appreciate privacy and act responsibly. The children will attend NAIDOC week activities at Jigamy on Tuesday 2 July to support local Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander communities. The theme for this year is Voice. Treaty. Truth. School Parliament are organising the first Chess Competition at lunchtime this Thursday for Years 3 to 6. If there are any parents who would like to come along to one of the sessions to give some pointers to our budding champions you would be made feel most welcome.

Class 1R News:

The pre-schoolers impressed us today with their magnificent rocket ship. We learnt that we need to brush up on our rocket ship building skills to take the next challenge! K/1 have been busy this week practising their athletic skills with Mrs Johnson in preparation for the Small Schools Athletics carnival next Friday. Our class will be participating in fun activities and games organised by the Kindergarten teachers at Wolumla PS. In Writing we are continuing our work on adjectives to turn our simple sentences into super sentences. In Numeracy we are learning lots of fun games with dice and cards to improve our flexibility with numbers to 20. At home you might like to practise counting by 2s, 5s and 10s with your child to build their confidence in skip counting. Science this week was incredibly hands on and very exciting as Mrs Johnson and her group of mini scientists made a galaxy in a bottle! Thank you for your support with the home readers, the children take home two but if you can only fit one in that is fine as long as they are reading every night! Awards this week: Rachael and Max: Great effort in technology. Ivy and Tom: Working hard in Maths.

Class 2M News:

This week in 2M we have continued our paper planes project called “Up, Up and Away.” We have made three types of paper planes. For the first two we followed given instructions, but the third plane was the student’s own design. Next, we took them outside and flew each plane three times, measuring the distance travelled. Then we graphed our results. The final part of this project will be to analyse our data and see if there are any patterns. Perhaps we will find that a particular type of design flies the




furthest, while another sort is excellent for loop the loops, but doesn’t travel long distances.

In Maths we are exploring efficient addition strategies. At home you can support your child’s numeracy skills by quizzing them on their number facts. All 2M students should know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables and can practice these to build speed. You could use a deck of cards to practice these in random order. Choose a times table to focus on, for example the 5 times table. Then draw a card. If it’s a two the question is 2 x 5 = 10.

We now have brand new, high quality levelled readers in our classroom! It would be fantastic if all 2M students were reading from this new collection. Using these books will help to build your child’s skills across a range of text types and subjects. Readers can be exchanged any day of the week. I check student’s reading records on Wednesdays.

Awards this week:

Emily: Excellent work in her ‘Up, Up and Away’ Project. Christopher: Fantastic work in Spelling. Oliver: Fabulous work in Drama. Jack: Working hard in reading groups. Naomi Moore

Class 3BJ News:

A very busy week finalising assessment reviews and preparing for the various projects in which we are involved. Focus on grammar to understand noun groups, verb groups, phrases and clauses to support the development of our writing skills. Developing mental computation strategies and efficient ways of understanding numbers has been most beneficial especially for division and multiplication.

Today the children were very engaged in a second art workshop, developing language skills and composition skills are part of the process.

A lunchtime challenge of Chess certainly had everyone supporting the Grey and Gold teams of competitors.

Well done to the Drama Group who have been rehearsing after school to prepare for the Drama Festival, a note will come home today for the children.

Reading every day is a must, both at school and at home. Reading to your child (no matter what age) can be such a joy and the rich conversations after are always so important.

Next week we are looking forward to the Mogo excursion on Thursday, to consolidate our history focus and Small Schools Athletics on Friday. Please return notes for these excursions by tomorrow.

Awards this week:

Lacey, Hayden and Jessie: Focus on developing art skills. Koby and Mikah: Developing teamwork skills. Suezanne Bourke and Sam Johnson
