Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Community Members,

Welcome to Week 8!

Welcome BBQ

We are so excited about the huge response to our Term 1 Welcome BBQ. It will be commenc-ing at 4pm with our first P&C meeting for the year. We look forward to seeing you all then.

Share our space

During the school holidays our playground will be open through the Share Our Space initiative. This means children and families from our community will be able to come in and use our school playground.

Term 2 Staffing Change

We are having a change of staffing commencing Term 2. Unfortunately we will be losing Miss Harris, who is moving to Gilgandra. We have a new teacher who has been appointed perma-nently to our school and will be taking over from Miss Harris commencing day 1, Term 2.

Miss Harris will be sorely missed by all of us here at Carroll Public School. She has been a huge part of our community for the past 4 years. We will be holding a special morning tea on the last day of term, parents are welcome to attend. Please bring a plate to share.

Permission notes

Please ensure permission notes are returned to school as soon as possible. Our notes always have a due back at school date and we would appreciate parents adhering to these dates. It assists us in ensuring our excursions and events are well organised and catered for with cor-rect numbers and names of students attending. If you do not wish your child/ren to attend ex-cursions and events, please ensure they still attend school on the day as they will continue with school as normal. We will be strict in regards to return dates and appreciate your assis-tance in this area, it would be a shame for students to miss out.

NAPLAN

Next week, we will be participating in an online NAPLAN trial. This will involve all students in Years 3 and 5. It is in preparation for NAPLAN assessments being held next term.

Easter Hat Parade

Our annual Easter Hat Parade will be held on Wednesday, 31st March. It will commence at 2.15pm, our friends from the pre-school will be joining us for the fun. Our weekly assembly awards will also be handed out during this time. We hope you are all able to join us.

Enjoy your week,

Mrs Beck Dowe

Over the last few weeks we have been implementing reading and phonics

group work during the morning session. During this time, the group work

caters for the individual levels within the classroom. We have been reading

“Where is the Green Sheep” and “Hairy McClary” and completing writing

activities on these books.

2-3

During Week 7 and 8 in English, we have been identifying differences be-

tween facts and opinions. We have also been researching and writing our

own information reports on a variety of topics. We continue to enjoy har-

monica lessons. In Maths, we’ve been exploring the connection between

repeated addition and multiplication. It would be wonderful if the students

could consolidate their times tables at home.

4, 5, 6

Over the past few weeks, we have been studying a new novel called

“Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen. It is a survival story about a 13 year old boy

named Brian. We have been focusing on ‘point of view’ and how it shaped

our opinion. In Maths we have been learning about division and it’s rela-

tionship to multiplication.
