Book Week is being celebrated this week. A big thank you to Mrs Susan Buttrey for her organisation of activities. The children have enjoyed a craft afternoon, trivia and a dress up day this Thursday. Please come along and watch the display which will be held in the hall. It would be lovely to see you there.
Tell Them From Me Survey: This survey allows parents to express their views and participate in a school wide evaluation. As part of this invaluable process we are asking all parents about their perceptions of their children’s experiences at home and school. The process is entirely anonymous and confidential. Your answers once collated give us a great insight into what your opinions are and create valuable data for decision making in the future direction of our school. Please type in the link as follows: https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/b6m3y A reminder that NAPLAN Online will be trialling at our school commencing Monday 4th September. Parents can you ensure that your child does not bring SLIME to school. It is causing major issues with uniforms, carpet and hair. Your help in this issue is appreciated. Have a great week, Sharon Murray, Principal.

Stage 1 Excursion to Wambangalang We started by getting onto a bus to travel to Wambangalang. We then split into three groups and did different activities. We had to put our hand into mystery buckets to match the eggs with the animal. There were six different things—Thorin and Emaline only missed one that was very tricky; we got mixed up between a leaf insect and a peppercorn tree seed. The other activities were planting beans in newspaper which we were able to bring to school and watch them grow. They will be treated differently; one with fertiliser, no sunlight and others with no water. It will be interesting to see what happens. Our last activity was bug catching in a dam. There were a few different types of bugs which we had to identify. Thorin Ward and Emaline Pengilley 2L
Lost Property As you can see our lost property is full to overflowing. Most of this clothing has no label or names. To ensure that your child’s clothing is returned to them please ensure you label all clothing, hats and drink bottles.
Our tissue supply has been hugely depleted after all the winter colds. When out shopping please consider
buying one box to help us out! Stage 3 Excursion to Sydney We went to Cableway at Katoomba near the Three Sisters where we went down the steepest railway track in the southern hemisphere. Everybody screamed!! It was fun! We then travelled over the valley to the Three Sisters—we stopped to take photos. Our guide, Adam talked about early settlers and the explorers Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson. The ANZ Stadium was HUGE! WE were able to run through the tunnel into the grounds, like the footballers on the TV. We looked through the dressing rooms, spa and pool area and the communications desk. Our first day in Sydney included a trip to the Quarantine Centre, Manly Beach and the Maritime Museum however, the best part of the day was going up to the top of Sydney Eye Tower. Our final day was awesome! It started with a trip on the Manly Ferry and then a walking tour of the Rocks. This was a very interesting tour where we learnt about the early settlement, where people slept, convicts and how the people lived. Did you know that families shared the same bath water. Dad first, then Mum, then the children from oldest to youngest. The Aquarium was MAD!. We had 3 sharks swim over the top of our heads, the penguins were cute, we saw 5 dugongs and played in the touch pool. We all had a great time! Some of the photos from this trip are on the back page.

Respect, Care, Cooperation & Responsibility
PBL Expectations
Our focus this week continues to be on
CARE. Please remember to look after our
school environment. We are focussing on
showing empathy towards others, meaning
treating others as you would like to be
treated. We are remembering to say please and thank you
as well as being kind and respectful to our peers and
teachers.
