Long Weekend We hope all families were able to enjoy the long weekend

without getting too cold and that your favourite footy team had a win!

P&C A reminder that the Annual General Meeting of our Edward P&C is on tonight at 7pm in the staffroom. All families are

encouraged to be represented at this meeting.

Regional Cross Country Best wishes are extended to our cross country runners who

will be competing in Gundagai on Thursday. They are Connor Didcock, Izayah Gazzara, Jake Herberte, Annie Harvey, Katy

Grady and Erica Hayes. We know that they will be worthy ambassadors for our school.

Christmas Boxes Huge thanks to those few families who have already contrib-uted to their class boxes for a girl or boy from an overseas

country. As already identified, this is an extremely worthwhile cause to support and each family is encouraged to bring in a

small item to go in the boxes. Students have until the end of

this term to make their donations.

AFL Sports in School Our first sessions with Jack Bradley were held last Friday and all students were eager participants. This initiative will be run-

ning once again this Friday afternoon. Special thanks to Mrs Druitt for coordinating this opportunity for our students.

End of Term A reminder that Term 2 runs through until Friday, 1st July –

which is also our Jump Rope Day. School will resume for Term 3 on Tuesday, 19th July for all students.

Year 6 Patty Pan Wednesday Tomorrow, Year 6 will again be holding a patty pan fund-

raiser. Patty pan treats will be for sale outside the Year 6

rooms at recess. Patty pans will be $1.00 each. Donations would be much appreciated.

PSSA Boys Basketball On Wednesday 8th June, our boys representative team

travelled to Jerilderie to compete in the NSW PSSA Boys Basketball knockout against Griffith North Public School.

Although the Griffith North team were convincing winners, the score did not reflect the close on court competition.

Our Edward students were a true example of great sports-manship and exemplary behaviour thoughout the day.

Well done boys and congratulations on a game well played.

A huge thanks to Michael Everett for his coaching expertise and to Sacha Jefferies for umpiring on the day!

2016 Major Excursions Planning and preparations for this year’s major excursions

are almost finalised.

The cost of the Stage 2 excursion is $350, which covers all

travel, meals, accommodation and entry fees. More details on this excursion and a full itinerary will be sent out next

term. However, at this stage, a deposit of $50 is being re-

quested by the end of term for each student in Year 3 and 4. Many thanks to those who have already commenced periodic

payments, as many of their deposit have already been paid.

The dates for the Stage 2 excursion to Bendigo and Ballarat

have been confirmed as Wednesday 16th November to Fri-day 18th November (Week 6 of Term 4).

Families are encouraged to commence regular payments to remove any difficulties which may be faced later in the year – especially with this excursion being relatively close to Christmas.

While costs are yet to be finalised for the Stage 3 excursion

to Canberra, it is anticipated to be in the vicinity of $600 for

the 5 days. Efforts will be made to reduce this amount through donations, subsidies and fundraising. Once again,

more details will be sent home early next term. This excur-sion has been booked for Monday 17th October to Friday

21st October (Term 4, Week 2).

Families are invited and encouraged to commence periodic

payments for this excursion as soon as possible. Please contact the office or make an appointment with Ms

McGuiness to if you would like to discuss either of these in

greater detail.

Limericks - By 2/3DB

There once was a very strong tiger, who was a very bad fighter. He fought all day long, while throwing a thong.

Until someone hit him with a tyre.

By Olivia Cooper

There once was an old man on a fly, Who saw a kangaroo passing by. He had a huge head, That was about to fall dead. Eventually the fly had to die.

By Roy checkley There was a young boy from Troy, who needed to buy a new toy.

He stamped and he cried, until his mum just sighed.

That sad young boy from Troy.

By Bryce and Sebastian

There was an old man from Australia, who rode an ostrich to Gilaylia.

When he got there, he saw a grizzly bear.

And quickly dashed back to Australia!

By 2/3DB

There once was a girl named Sarah, who had a pet dog named Clara. She went down the street, and she became very neat. And her dog ran away, poor Clara.

By Sarah Duffey

There once was a silly spotted fly, that sat on a square in the sky.

I went spinning, and then I was singing.

That silly, silly old fly.

By Katy Grady

There once was a brown kelpie dog, who lost his favourite log. He fell in some mud, he barked at a flood,

But he still got stuck in that bog.

By William Green

There once was a black and white goat, who went on a red fishing boat.

He found some money, and ate some honey.

And found a hundred dollar note.

By BEN MILDREN

There once was a salami snail

Who lost its long slimy tail. He fell off a house.

Onto a mouse. Then he was sent to gaol.
