Head of Curriculum:

Over the last five weeks, Mrs Tucker has been acting in the Head of Curriculum position during Mrs Townsend’s

absence. Thank you Hannah for your hard work and the great job you have done! This week, Mrs Townsend

returns. Welcome back Mrs Townsend! Thank you also to Mrs Grobler for the great job you have done teaching

5A over the last five weeks.

Sounds to Letters:

This week’s sound focus is ‘er’ sound. Common letter combinations that make this sound are er (fern), ir (bird),

ur (fur), or (worm). A less common letter choice is ‘ear’ (learn).

Behaviour Focus:

This week’s behaviour focus is resilience. Resilience means not getting angry or worried, or calming down when

you get very upset, then bounding back to work or play. You can show that you are resilient by not getting angry

or fighting when someone says something mean to you, fixing up mistakes in your work without getting angry or

upset, or by calming down when you are upset and continuing on with your work.

Prep-Year One Athletics Carnival:

A reminder... Next Tuesday, 3rd June, is our Prep-Year One athletics carnival. The event begins at 11am and

should be finished by 2:30pm. Please encourage your child to dress in their house colours, and bring a hat,

water bottle and sunscreen. We hope to see you there supporting your child/ children.



Cross Country:

On the 3rd June, Tori, Jahrah, Kaylee, Blake and Aidan will compete in the Central Highlands team at

Rockhampton for a chance to be selected in the Capricornia team. We wish these students all the best at the

next level.

School Song:

Some parents have requested a copy of the school song that they can download and print, to take to school

parades. Please click on the school song link.

State Education Week:

Our school leaders very proudly represented Moranbah East State School at the display in Coles on Friday, to

promote State Education Week. They handed out brochures to the Moranbah community with information about

the Moranbah Kindy Alliance to help with the transition for Kindy kids heading into Prep next year.

Dear parents and care-givers,

Mrs Cairns will be offering your children an opportunity to take part in the new and exciting PREP choir. The first

sign-on session was at first lunch last Wednesday. If for whatever reason your child could not attend sign-on,

they are welcome to collect a choir letter from Mrs Cairns in her Music Room.

Best wishes for an exceptional 2014.

Instrumental Music News

It has been a very busy semester one for the instrumental music program at Moranbah East State School, which

has seen the program continue to grow. At this stage we have a total of 48 budding musicians, an awesome

effort!

Now that our little juniors are starting to really hit their straps on their instruments the performances will start

coming. Our first concert will be on the 18th of June where we will unveil the Junior Concert Band for the first time

in 2014. Other musical groups will also perform on the evening including the, Senior Concert Band, Junior and

Senior Choirs and some guest artist from the High School! With such a wide variety of instrumental and choral

groups it promises to be a fantastic evening! Make sure you don’t miss it!

Term three is already fully booked for the instrumental program! First week back from holidays we are lucky

enough to welcome back the Queensland Youth Orchestra Chamber Ensemble! The ensemble will work with all

Senior Instrumental students before performing for the entire school and then the community later in the week!

Make sure you watch for notes home about this event! After this exciting visit, the senior students will be back in

the rehearsal room working hard to prepare for the Central Highlands Eisteddfod in September! The band will be

looking to match is massive success of 2nd place in 2013 and hopefully come home with 1st place this year!



As well as having a strong representation in the group section of the Eisteddfod, Moranbah East will have a very

strong cohort of musicians competing in the solo and duet section of the Eisteddfod. A total of 13 students have

decided to put their hand up and fly the Moranbah East flag! Again another massive effort!

The remainder of term two and all of term three promises to be a very busy but exciting time for the Instrumental

students of Moranbah East State School! Make sure you watch this space for more news!

Regards

Matt Fellows

Minion Meal Deal!!! $6.00

Continuing with our week of Despicable Me 2 themed goodies from the Tuckshop, our meal deal this

Friday will be in honour of our favourite Minions.

NACHOS (Plain)

MINION FRUIT CUP (sml container of rockmelon with a marshmallow 'Minion' eye)

JUICE

There will be Despicable Me 2 themed goodies available over the counter all this week including our

Minion bananas and Grapes.

Could all parents please advise us at the Tuckshop if your child has any special dietary requirements,

whether it be medical or personal, as this will help prevent us from selling your child an item that

he/she should not have.

We have also noticed some children coming to school with large amounts of money. We understand

that sometimes this may be all parents have on that day but would advise it best to only provide what

is necessary as unfortunately sometimes change can go missing from your child's tuckshop bag. If

we find that a child has large amounts of change left, we have been putting it into an envelope and

forwarding to the child's teacher or to the office for safe keeping.

If any parent would like to let us know of anything regarding their child and are unable to come to the

Tuckshop in person, you can email us on [email protected]. This is not to be used for

Tuckshop orders please!



Also the Tuckshop has started our Early Birds Breakfast! Pop in and grab a hot chocolate/coffee & toast, toasted banana bread or

an up & go flavoured milk.

We are also open untill 3.00pm every day for our quick snacks or coffee/slushies.

Please remember if you would like your apples slinkied, put them in the class tuckshop box.



Please note the amber days as per the Tuckshop Menu. If your child has ordered something not for that day, it will be substituted for the amber option for that day.

Please make sure your Tuckshop bag is clearly marked with your child's name, class and which lunch break they would like their meal.

Thank you.
