Issue 9, Week 8, Term 2

Tuesday June 13, 2017

Dear Parents, Community Members, Staff and Students

On Thursday, 29 June 2017 all parents and community members are invited to attend ‘Reading Musical

Chairs’ run by the staff at Hyden Primary School. This will begin at 1.20pm and be run by Lorina Mulcahy

and myself. Here you will be exposed to a variety of high quality children’s literature. Following this,

Danny Parker (visiting author) will run an information session for parents regarding how to read

picture books to children and how picture books make a difference to a child’s understanding when

read correctly. Research indicates that effective and frequent reading of picture books to a child at a young

age has a direct effect on their schooling outcomes. This is an extremely exciting opportunity for all parents

and community members and I urge you to come along to. Following this there will be an assembly

beginning at 2.30pm. Please RSVP to the front office by Friday, 23 June 2017.

Classroom Focus: Kindy/Pre-primary and Year 5/6

Every Friday afternoon the big Year 5 / 6s visit their friends in the Pre-primary. We take turns reading to

one another and developing comprehension skills. The Pre-primaries show us how to form our letters

correctly and how to sound out, not spell out. Each week we are developing stronger friendships and oral

communication skills. Previously we had a turn getting the older children to show the little children how to

use different applications on the iPads, something that would have taken Mrs Tapper hours! Last week Miss

Comiskey set up colour mixing stations where the big children guided the little children in learning how to

mix primary colours to make secondary colours. At times the Senior Class students had more fun than the

Pre-primaries! Finally we all had a big play in the playground. The Year 5/6s certainly loved being back

with the wicked playground.

Cross Country –K-6

Thursday, 1 June was the annual Faction Cross Country carnival. All students who

participated in this event ran beautifully and displayed tremendous sportsmanship. Cross

Country requires physical and mental endurance and a lot of training prior to the event –

well done to all our students.

Thank you to all the parents and family members who volunteered on the day. Without

you this event would not be possible. Your support and time that you put into Hyden PS

definitely does not go unnoticed and the staff and I are very appreciative of your

continued support – so thank you! We are lucky to have people like you in our community.

We were also fortunate enough for The Hinck Family from Kerrigan Valley Beef to donate medallions for

the cross country event. We thank them very much. All medallions and certificates will be presented at

assembly on Thursday, 29 June 2017.
