Harmony Day 23 March 2016
On Harmony Day we celebrate living in a community that strives to live in peace and harmony by showing respect, understanding and kindness towards others. On Wednesday 23 March, 2016 students are asked to try and wear something orange as a symbol of peace and harmony. If any student wishes to wear their traditional national dress we encourage them to do so.
We are planning to hold a multicultural food tasting event for the students in each classroom at 1pm, and would appreciate it if families could send along a labelled dish of food in the morning to share at lunch. If you do wish to make a hot dish, please assist by bringing it up to your child’s classroom by 12:30pm as we have limited heating facilities. Children are asked to bring a plastic /paper dish or plate and spoon to use on the day. Parent helpers to assist with sharing lunch on the day would be appreciated. If you can help, please indicate below.
After lunch the students will be doing a variety of language activities relating to Harmony Day and its importance.
We hope you will help us to celebrate Harmony Day and promote peace! Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Alison Cornall Mr Matt Hobbs
ESL Teacher Principal ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT—WEEK 7 Congratulations to our school teams who took part in the
Literacy Quiz challenge held last Friday. One of our school
teams was successful in winning this regional event and will
now be moving onto the National final in Sydney later this
term. Well done to all students on being outstanding
representatives of Armidale City Public School, you should
be very proud of your efforts. Thank you to parents and
teachers for supporting the participation of our students in
this event.
We have had students representing Armidale City Public
School at North West swimming and tennis during the last
week. Well done to students on their efforts – again you
are all wonderful representatives of our school and
congratulations on your achievements.
We had a very productive P&C meeting last Wednesday.
Thank you to all members for coming along and contributing
to the discussions. The P&C has a number of events coming
up and are always looking for new members to become
involved. The next P&C meeting will be the Annual General
Meeting and will be held on Wednesday, 6 April in the
library from 6.30pm. Our School Council will meet next
Monday, 14 March from 7pm. All council members are
encouraged to attend.
Parents and family members are reminded that if they
volunteer in any capacity at the school they should complete
the volunteer working with children check which can be done
online and then completed at the RTA. This includes if you
assist with transport for an excursion. The working with
children check is a NSW legislative requirement and copy of
each check must be kept on file at school. If you have any
questions regarding the process please contact the School
Office.
Thank you to parents for their positive support of our
school and for the assistance you provide in ensuring our
students have great educational opportunities. It is vital we
work together and the staff at Armidale City Public School
is committed to working with parents in a constructive
manner. If you would like to have a conversation at any time
with your child’s teacher, please contact the School Office
to arrange a mutually convenient time. Following this
procedure helps staff plan their week and teaching time can
have the first priority. We thank parents and families for
their support with this.
Please feel free to send me an email at any time on the
address below. Have a great week everyone. Mr Matt Hobbs

KINDER RED NEWS Wow, we cannot believe how quickly this term has gone
already! Kinder Red have settled into their class and school
routines with gusto and made lots of new friends along the
way.
It has been a very busy term and it amazes me how well
Kinder Red are following our school routines and enjoying
extra activities such as Crazy Hair Day and the Life
Education Van visit. We learnt lots of new things about
healthy living from our visit to Healthy Harold on Monday
and had lots of fun too!
We are learning about our You Can Do It keys and how we
use them both in the classroom and the playground. We are
focusing on using our ‘Getting Along’ key and learning how to
get along nicely in work and play activities.
In the classroom Kinder Red are focusing on learning the
letter names and sounds of the alphabet and how to write
each letter correctly, as this helps us become better
writers. In guided writing we had lots of fun writing about
‘Octopuppy’ by Martin McKenna. We also got to make our
own Octopuppy. If you
haven’t seen them yet, come
into Kinder Red and have a
look!
I am so proud of KR’s effort
and can’t wait to see the
amazing work they do next! Kinder Red and Mrs Kelsall
CLASS NEWS 5/6J We are super busy in 5/6J with students learning and
reflecting on a number of KLA’s. Students worked on a small
research task on Charities during our computer sessions and
presented their chosen charity to the class. Many of the
presentations were full of important information like what
their charity does and how we can help support the specific
charity. Some charities included RSPCA and Camp Quality.
In maths we have been working on 3D shapes with the
students working in small groups to create a variety of 3D
shapes. Students have built, drawn and labelled hexagonal,
triangular and octagonal prisms as well as comparing prisms
and pyramids.
We have also been walking to the Gymnastics Centre every
second Friday for sport. We are learning lots of great skills
and having a great time on the equipment. Each visit we
complete a number of skills and rotate around the centre.
Last week we got to use the climbing wall and the
trampolines along with the foam pit which is a favourite!!
