SENTRAL REPORTING As part of the improvement cycle here at Nilma

Primary School we are seeking feedback about

the SENTRAL reporting package to showcase your

child’s learning. Please find attached a proforma

for parents to give us feedback on the usability of

the software package and what positive or

negative experiences parents may have had with

the program. Please take the time to complete

the sheet ( should take less than 10 minutes). We

will then collate the information and we aim to

use this to improve the usage of the software for

families.

HOOPTIME Next Thursday 28th July, some students will be representing Nilma PS in the Year 4/3 Hoop Time Basketball competition, accompanied by Mr Frost. Permission forms were sent out last week with the newsletter.

On Monday 8th August the Year 5/6 students will be attending the Hoop Time competition. Permission forms are attached to the newsletter today and must be brought back by next Friday 29th July.

MT WORTH CLUSTER DAY Warragul Regional College will be hosting all Year 5 & 6 students from the Mt Worth Cluster schools on Wednesday 3rd August. The aim of this day is to offer students in senior primary grades at smaller regional schools an opportunity to visit a large high school setting and immerse themselves in some of the many different curriculum programs at Warragul Regional College. This has proven to be a great experience for all students, whichever secondary school they will be attending, to support their transition from primary to secondary school. Permission forms are attached to the newsletter and must be brought back to school by 29th July. Parents are responsible for taking their children to the Regional College at 9.00am and picking them up from the College at 2.45pm. Children must wear school uniform. Lunch and morning tea will be supplied for all students.

NATIONALTREE PLANTING DAY Next Friday, 29th July, the Year 5 & 6 students will be participating in the National Tree Planting Day. This event will be taking place at Brooker Park, near Charles St in Warragul. Permission forms and car travel forms will be sent home today and must be returned by 26th July. Students will be travelling by car, with parents & staff members leaving Nilma PS at 2.30pm and returning to Nilma PS at 3.30pm.

THANK YOU TO OUR DIARY SPONSORS

PARENT OPINION

SURVEY Each year we ask parents to complete a survey

about the school. Parent Opinion Surveys were attached to the newsletter last week. The Department allocates schools a set number of Parent Opinion Surveys to be randomly allocated. The parent opinion survey will provide the school with valuable information in relation to communication, procedures and practices at Nilma PS. Please take time to review questions relating to student learning, home activities and expectations, extracurricular opportunities for students (including things like sporting activities, camps, group days, select groups participating in musical events), transition and social learning. Last year we received 90%. This year we hope for 100%! We would appreciate your feedback to develop a school culture that we all have input into. We value your ideas. The survey is confidential and results are used to further develop the goals of the school. 1. Complete questionnaire 2. Put in envelope provided and seal the

envelope 3. Write the name and year level/s of

child/ren on back 4. Return to school by Friday 29th July

2016. Please take time to complete the survey and support Nilma Primary School to build an exciting and stimulating school.

If I were the teacher I would let

them bring pets to school

because pets are friendly and

kind. Shila.

If I were the teacher I would

play games all day like Farmer Sam

and Fruit Salad. It would be

awesome to play all these games.

By Beth.

If I were the teacher I would make the kids do

a higher level than they are on. I would make

them do writing, maths, literacy, Japanese and

much, much more. They would be tired from

school. By Taleah.

If I were the teacher I would go outside for

games. The games that the students play

would be green tiggy, fruit salad, Simpson

tiggy and ball tiggy. By Jessie.

If I were the teacher I would give them pie, the

best quality apple pie. Anthony.

MY HOLIDAYS

Well the Sunday before the holiday I was

riding my horse in the paddock. I will tell you

how I fell off! I was trotting and my horse

slipped and he got caught in the tie- down I use

for barrel racing. He started jumping around,

then it got bad! We hit the ditch then I fell and

landed on my left arm . My mum had to carry

me all the back from the shed. Then she went to

get the horse and he was at the shed and she ran

in to him. Mum got the car and rushed me to hospital. I stayed

there all day! I went into the room to get plaster on. I had to get

a needle in my leg, ouch! I stayed there for a while then I went

home. What a start to my holiday!

By Amelia

On the holidays I went to my sister’s house. She lives in a unit. I

stayed there with my brother Blake. On the first day I was there I

played on the PS4 (Play Station 4). I played Minecraft, the

pocket edition and it was really fun. I built a small house and I

had chicken inside. I called him Cluckington. I also grew a farm

but I only grew wheat. I grew wheat to make bread because it

gives you more hunger bars so I don’t die of starvation! I also

found lots of wool and mutton on the ground from dead sheep.

Then my sister Louise came home from Dominos. We got 3

pizzas, 2 loaves of garlic bread and 2 Pepsi, it was delicious!

Then at 10 o’clock I watched ‘Mean Girls’ and went to sleep at

11:31 pm. By Sheree
