Dear Parents and Carers, Today we welcome Miss Stephanie Pfeiffer to our school. Miss Pfeiffer is here for four weeks of Teacher Placement from Latrobe University and is with the Year 3/4 class. I’m sure everyone will make her feel very welcome. This week, on Thursday and Friday, the students in Years 3 and 4 have their Camp at Lake Nillahcootie. Please finalise these accounts before Thursday, if you haven’t already done so. It looks as though the students will have a lot of great learning activities and action. Next week students in Years 5 and 6 have their excursion to Canberra, which is always a wonderful learning experience. Please finalise these accounts before the end of the week, if you haven’t already done so. The P & C have their monthly meeting this Wednesday. The meeting starts at 5pm in the Library and usually takes about an hour. Everyone is welcome to contribute. Last Thursday the Kinders and Years 1 and 2 students, teachers and parent helpers travelled to Mansfield Zoo. From all reports it was a fantastic day which was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to the students who were fabulous and to the parents who were such great helpers, and to the teachers who organised the wonderful learning experience for the students. Last Friday we had our first Kindergarten Transition day for students starting school in 2020. We had some very excited new students coming for their experience of Big School. The program continues this Friday again from 9am until 10.45am. If you have any of the Woolworths Discovery Garden that you do not need for home use, please send them to school so we can use them in our Kitchen Garden. This week our PBL (Positive Behaviour for Learning) focus is to be Respectful, Safe and Responsible when eating at recess and lunch. We expect children to eat respectfully, safely and responsibly at all times. John Francis, Principal

Year 2 Recounts Yesterday, Kinder/1/2 went to Mansfield Zoo. We saw monkeys, peacocks, lions, ferrets, ostriches, Texas longhorns, meerkats, guinea pigs, dingoes, camels, antelope deer and a cockatoo. We each had a group. My group was me, Blake, Oliver, Lane, Lucas and mum. We got to feed the animals with a spade or by hand. I didn’t feed Tim the alligator or the lions. I fed deer, the ostrich, the emu, camels and Texas longhorns. After that we went back on the bus. We went back to Benalla and had afternoon tea at Benalla Park. There was heaps of stuff to play on. There was a rocket and I kept climbing it. By Declan

Yesterday K/1/2 went on excursion to Mansfield Zoo to see the animals. When we got to Mansfield Zoo we had recess. First we did a tour of the Zoo. The lady was called Bronwyn. She showed us the Zoo. We saw camels, dingos, guinea pigs, lions and so much more. Some were let out loose like deer and llamas and peacocks. We saw black buck antelope deer, they were good. After lunch we went into groups and it was fun. Charlie, Molly, mum and Charlotte were in my group. I had so much fun. By Lexie

Yesterday K/1/2 went on an excursion to Mansfield Zoo. We saw lots of awesome animals like camels and emus. A zoo keeper named Bronwyn gave us a tour and told us some interesting facts about the animals. After that we went in a smaller group. In my group there was Tahlia, Wyatt, Luke, my brother Patrick and me. My mum led my group. My favourite animal was the meerkats. We watched them get fed. We got to feed the ostrich and the emus with our hands. They pecked our hands but it didn’t hurt. The emu had a sharp beak but the ostrich had a round beak. I had a fantastic day at Mansfield Zoo. By Ruby

K/1/2 Mansfield Zoo Excursion K/1/2 had a fabulous day last Thursday visiting the Mansfield Zoo. They got to see lots of different animals and were even able to feed some using a spade or straight from their hand. Thanks to Tara, Gen, Hannah, Cath, Sylvia, Lesley, Karen, Sarah, Carolyn and Donna for your assistance on the day.
