Mathematics Whizz In mathemaƟcs today Mrs Watson set me a challenge. My number was 23567 and I had to write the number again and again, subtracƟng by 100 each Ɵme. In three minutes, I was able to reach 20467. How cool is that! Lucas Year 4 Special Religious Education (SRE) and Special Education in Ethics (SEE) Participation Letter Included in this week’s Husky Star, is a parƟcipaƟon leƩer for SRE and SEE. If you’d like to make any adjustments to the current arrangement for your child, please complete and return. Safe Tolerant Achieving Responsible Students Principal’s Message All schools talk about the crowded curriculum and the many demands placed upon them, from community interests and outside organisaƟons. Last year we trialled “Fuss Free Weeks”, as a way of managing these demands. That meant, during certain weeks of the term, no performances or extra curricula events were organised. It unfortunately wasn’t very successful. This year, we are trialling “Fuss free Mondays”. We are making all aƩempts, to not book any performances or any extra curricula acƟviƟes on Mondays. School planning has also been taken into account. The Release from Face to Face program (PreparaƟon Ɵme for the class teacher) is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, keeping Mondays free for students to be with their class teacher. Monday’s is a library day, but this is when Mrs Hanson and the class teacher, team teach, to deliver the class program. Monday was chosen, so all students have a great start, to their week of learning. New Fence installed On Wednesday, Bay and Basin Fencing, came and installed the new fence. AŌer overcoming a few challenges with tree roots, the fence took shape relaƟvely quickly. In a day, it was up and almost complete. The following day, they returned to t the sleepers. A big thank you to all who sold chocolates, bought chocolates and ate chocolates. It was a real community eort. The biggest thank you, must go to Karla Smith, who was the inspiraƟon, coordinator and manager of the whole project. A great achievement, that adds to the safety of our students. Carpark Safety The school has two carparks reserved for sta. Please think safety rst when bringing your child to school. Park outside the school grounds. ExcepƟon to the rule is parents accessing KreaƟve Kidz (Before and AŌer School Care). If walking with your child, please enter by the pedestrian gates. This supports the safety of your child and the other students. Signs have been erected, to remind our school community, that your child’s safety is paramount. Thank you Sonny and Kate Walker for designing and manufacturing these signs. Term 1 Week 3, 14 February 2019 Sydney Street, Huskisson NSW 2540 T 02 4441 5074 F 02 4441 6220 [email protected]

We were walking to school on a normal Monday morning. 

When we got there, there was nothing there. Just a whole 

heap of ashes. I tried to scream but nothing would come out. 

BANG! I saw someone run up the big tree. It had a secret pas‐

sage world. I wondered who it was.  

By Eadee 

 

Zoo School 

As I got to school I couldn’t believe my eyes. The whole school 

was a zoo. It smelt like poo. Lion poo, monkey poo and goat 

poo. It stunk. I felt annoyed but also excited. When I first 

walked in I saw the penguin enclosure and the turtle enclo‐

sure. All I could hear was neh, snap, peacock and lots of other 

sounds. I wondered what was going to happen next.  

By Madi 

 

As I came to school I saw the school was burnt. I called 911 

they came to my school and put out the fire out. The school 

was burnt.  

By Ronnie 

 

Sick 

Bing Bang! “No school Mum” I said. “At school everyone is 

sick. You do not need to get ready. There are no students and 

no teachers.”  

By Brodie 

 

Missing School 

I was on my way to school. I was feeling very excited because 

today we were going swimming. I looked school was not 

there. I could hear trees blowing. I felt sad because I wanted 

to be a school.  

By Ruby 

 

Water Park At School 

Boom! Crash! Bang! I couldn’t believe what I saw. A water park 

dropped from the sky. Wooooow it was so cool. Iran to the 

toilets and put my swimmers on. I ran to the water slide and 

slid down. It was so fun.  

By Lilly 

 

Bomb 

BOOOOOM! Crash! Bang! “What is going on, is that a bomb?” 

screamed Jeffery. “It must be because I smell smoke” said 

Kanalot. “Mwha ha ha” shouted someone with a deep dark 

voice. “Who is that?” said Mr Bonkas.  

By Jackson and Sarah 

 

The school I go to has only Kuriboh. One of the Kuribahs names 

is Tayla. He was one of the best Roblox players and Niki too.  

Niki turned Roblox into a sandwich.  

By Corey 

 

School 

What! Why? I’m at school, shouldn’t I be at home doing my 

morning rou ne to get ready for school. I smelt pancakes. I 

hear my mum calling me.   

By Ayva. 

 

One day I heard a noise the school was ge ng turned into a 

zoo. What about the classrooms. The next day the school was a 

zoo.  

By Levi 

 

School 

I was at school and then the work came to life. Everyone 

screamed, I ran. I saw a red bu on. I pressed it and the book‐

shelf moved. There was a secret passage. I went in.
