Principal’s Message Group Day
Last week culminated in a most enjoyable Small Rural Schools Group Day at Quambatook.
The students from Lake Charm, Ultima and Quambatook combined for a fun day of physical
activities at the Quambatook School and the Quambatook Pool. The students representing
their teams (the Sharks and the Crabs) competed in a range of pool activities from cork
scrambles, noodle relays, 25 metre freestyle to bomb competition. Thank you to the Shire of
Gannawarra for supplying the Lifeguard for the afternoon.

Footy Clinic
On Tuesday the students participated in the
Footy Clinic at Kerang. It was great to see all the
children enthusiastically participating in a
range of football drills. The Western Bulldogs
arrived a little late due to the fog in Melbourne,
but despite this there seemed to be a lot more
Bulldogs supporters by the end of the clinic.
Thank you to the organisers-Jamie McCri and
his team. Thank you to Vanessa and Katrina for
assisting with transport.
Eggs
Finally the chooks are starting to do their job and the eggs are arriving. Hopefully we will be
able to organise some egg bread/French toast this week.
The last couple of weeks have seen two birthdays. Emily on the 20th of February and Keigan
on the 1st of March.
Pupils of the Week
Kate and Jacob for excellent
leadership and positive
attitude from our grade 4
students.
This week Jukal has been
entertaining us with some
wonderful music.
On Sunday I had a reminder of the dangers lurking in our backyards. My eyelid area and arm
swelled up considerably as a result of paper wasp attack. Ironically this was the same friend’s
garden where a few weeks ago I was attacked by bull ants resulting in swelled up feet. I now
carry the anti-histamine tablets with me at all times in preparation as bad luck comes in
threes.

Student Voice
Senior Room
Our major theme for this week has been research on dolphins. The students have worked with partners
to research and present information on these extraordinary mammals.
Our autobiographies have been completed. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to share these with
families in the not too distant future.
We will soon be beginning research for our biographies on a senior citizen.
Junior Room
Our Literacy theme this term is “Fairytales”, so we have been looking at the elements that make up a
fairytale and then using this information to write our own short stories. In Maths we are concentrating on
Number and counting. Don’t forget Gr.1+2 have a spelling test each fortnight and the words should be in
the school diary so they can go over them at home. Also when you hear your child read at home please
sign the diary and if you want to, make a comment about the book or reading skills.
Book Club
If you wish to place an order, please either complete it online or return to school by 9th
March.
