Learning for all at Morgan Street Welcome to the second last
week of the term. On Friday afternoon the Broken Hill City Council
dropped off the Life Education van and the class lessons have
commenced today. It has been a few years since Healthy Harold
visited Morgan Street and I know that everyone is excited to see
our friend visit again.
This Friday we have our athletics carnival track events being
held at Picton Oval. There is rain forecast at this stage for
Friday so we will wait and see how it develops over the week before
making a decision. The current COVID guidelines don’t allow for
parents or families to attend school events. We will do our best to
capture the day through photos and videos. We know that it
certainly isn’t the same and nothing replaces being there and
sharing the special moments with your children. As part of our
COVID plan for the day we will not be able to have any visitors to
the oval or surrounds within the Picton Oval area. Any visitors
will be asked to leave.
We are currently taking enrolments for kinder for 2021. At this
stage we are not able to have our new kinders for next year on site
for transition. We are hoping this may change for next term and
this will probably not be known until next term. We are looking at
different ways to connect with our newest students and families in
preparation for 2021.
The end of the school day is a busy time and there is an
increase in traffic and people around our school. Can I please ask
families to talk with your child about the safe use of the
pedestrians crossings. At times students run across the crossings
assuming that it is always going to be safe.
Our final day for Term 3 is Friday 25th September. Students and
staff return to school for Term 4 on Monday 12th October 2020.
There is no staff development day at the start of Term 4.
Have a wonderful week of learning!
Thought for the Week: "Be the reason someone feels welcomed,
seen, heard, valued, loved and support.”

Jack crawled into the tunnel with his best friend, Amy behind
right him. They make their way through the
dark, steep tunnel. Jack’s hand comes into contact with a cold,
damp piece of metal. Touching the metal
makes the tunnel turn into a steep hill. Jacks hand slips and he
begins to fall taking Amy down with him.
Their hearts are pounding as they brace themselves for a hard
landing on top of rough rocks. To their
surprise however they land on a soft mattress.

I crawled around the kitchen counter. My brother was chasing me
which made me frightened. The dust
from the floorboards made me need to sneeze. If I sneezed he
would spot me.
By Scarlett Molloy
I was on the bottom of the ocean. It was dark and scary. I’m on
my knees, crawling on the sand, rocks
and coral scratching my shins. My oxygen tank is almost empty.
“I this it?”, I think to myself. I wish I was
in my warm, cozy, comfortable home. I’m scared. There is coral
and rocks everywhere, fish swimming in
schools. Suddenly I hear a click….
By Lucas Sultana
I’m sprinting, I only have ten seconds to hide! The wind is
blowing hard as I run. She was coming. I
looked around to see where I could hide. I see what looks like a
waterfall but it’s a water fall of leaves
dangling off a large, old oak tree. I run over and crawl inside.
It was the best hiding spot ever! I was
definitely going to win now. I can hear Riley walk past yelling
my name……
By Shavanah Miller
Smack! I ran into the bully of the school, Randy. My heart was
beating as fast as it possibly could. He
started to chase me all around the school. My legs started to
feel like jelly. Luckily, I found a hole that I
could crawl into. It led to me to be under my classroom. It was
dark and filled with old, wrinkly leaves.
My breath came in long pants as I crawled, and the leaves are
prickling my legs and hands. Suddenly I
heard a croaky voice behind me, “Welcome back!”
By Lee-Min Sheehan
I was crawling, my heart was pounding. Can I get to safety? I
was using up all the energy I had left. My
muscles ached and my pace was getting slower and slower. The
spikey bushes around me were making
me bleed. My body was telling me to stop but I had to get to the
doomsday shelter. Little did I know I
was going the wrong way.
By Lewis Brain
On Tuesday the 25th of August, 5A was lucky enough
to have author Jane Carroll come into the classroom
and have a writing workshop with us. To finish off our
session we did a writing activity that had to use the
word ‘crawled’. Some of the students wanted to
share their writing with you.
