What’s happening The Annual Book week parade was a great success and we would like to thank all of the parents and friends for coming along to join in the celebration. Winners for our Book Week costumes were Pre-School –Dakota and Eadie Deaves, who were dressed as trolls; Kindergarten/Year 1/Year 2 – Deakin Flack, dressed as Jill Buckaroo from the book Jill Buckaroo’s the Rider; Year 3/4 – Douglas Rebetzke dressed as The Beast from Beauty and the Beast; Year 5/6 – Seamus Maley dressed as Dark Stalker from the book Dark Stalker the Legends, Wings of Fire. Every one put in a big effort to dress as a character from a book they treasure. Well done everyone.
A special mention needs to go to Cade Anderson, for being the winner of the Carrathool Shire Library Year 5/6 Margaret Merrylees Book Week writing competition. Congratulations Cade.
This week is Geography learning week. The K/1/2 students will be exploring weather and seasons. They will investigate daily weather and seasons in our local area and the influence the weather has on people and their activities. We will also be investigating weather and seasons in other parts of the world and how they are different to ours. Through investigation of a geographical issue, students will also examine the weather and seasons of Kakadu as described by the Aboriginal people of the Larrakia/Gulumoerrgin language group and the meaning of the seasons for the people and the place.
Mrs Munro will be on leave tomorrow until the end of Week 9. Mr Ben Sheaves will be teaching the 3-6 class for the majority of the time.
Track Dack Day The SRC are hosting Tracky Dack Day on Friday 31st August. All funds raised will go to TLC to support sick children and their families. Students are encouraged to wear track pants of their choice and bring along a gold coin donation. As this is a casual clothes day, please ensure your child wears appropriate foot wear to school.
