Education Day & Book Week

Wednesday 8th of August

This Week!!

We are very excited to announce that our Education Day

and Book Week activities will take place on Wednesday

8th of August, in Week 3, Term 3.

Please save the date to come and enjoy a wonderful day

of activities to celebrate this year's Book Week theme of

'Find Your Treasure'.

Please join us for the following schedule of activities,

commencing at 11am and concluding at approximately

1:30pm:

* Morning Tea & Book Fair

* Assembly & Book Parade

* Book Week Activity with Mrs Lee (It's a secret, for

now!)

* BBQ lunch

Book Parade Costumes:

To honour this year's Book Week theme of 'Find Your

Treasure', I ask that students please dress as a character

from their most treasured book, the book that is their

favourite so far in their childhood. Parents and carers

can join in the fun and dress to our theme as well!

Students will receive support in library lessons to ensure

they have chosen their treasured book and character to

dress up as and to plan their costume.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this ex-

citing school event and we look forward to seeing you

there!

Jumper Embroidery

If you would like your child’s first name

embroidered on their school jumper , free of

charge, please see Kylie Kiddle. The embroi-

dery would be in the same green as the

jumper, on the left side and hopefully help

to avoid future losses of jumpers.

Family Photo Session

The P&C are having a family photo

fundraiser on 2nd Sept. Contact Charmaine

Alley for more details.

Lunch Orders

Lunch orders will be back Week 4 (Wed 15th

August). This week we have Book Week

BBQ.

Dance Festival

Festival have been sent out. Please read

mitment to a group dance.

It is a super opportunity for our children.

Squares will be on sale during Education

Week Celebrations

Cooking with Mrs Chiswell

Mrs Chiswell will be doing some cooking sessions

with our primary students. She will take 5 stu-

dents each Thursday to practise skills in cooking.

Over a 4 week period all students will have a turn

cooking each item.

A group of students "christened" our wonderful

new cooking area last week, making some

delicious strawberry coconut muffins. The new

facilities worked well and are going to get a lot of

use as we make this a weekly lesson, ex-

perimenting with different recipes.

I'll send a copy of the recipe home with

students, in case they want to try these out at

home. It's a great opportunity to try out new

foods, as well as develop new skills

and confidence in the kitchen.
