S2/3O Visit
Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the S2/3O classroom
to watch their Science and Technology Bridge presentations. I
was amazed at the quality of the students constructions and
their presentations which they prepared using the devices.
A big thank you to Mrs O’ Halloran for allowing me to spend
time in her delightful classroom.

Learn to Swim
Lessons are commencing this week. Could the parents/carers
of all children attending these vitally important lessons please
ensure that your child brings their bag of swimming gear with
them each day? An extra reminder also to make sure all of
your child's belongings are labelled with their name.
Thanking you for your assistance in this matter.
Mrs Jenny Tiffin Learn to Swim Coordinator
Vegie Patch News
As you may have worked out from the canteen news, our
lovely new white chickens have started laying cute little white
eggs. Belinda is using them for all sorts of goodies in the
canteen.
Last week was our last PACAS lesson and I would like to
acknowledge the efforts of all the children who have helped me
in the gardens during the year. I'm sure you would agree that
LPS has the best grounds of any school in Leeton!
I would also like to thank the P&C for their ongoing financial
support for our gardening projects. Plants, fertilizer, mulch and
wood chip are expensive ongoing costs.
A last thank you to Mrs Gill for budgeting for our huge water
bill. The place would be a dust bowl without this vital, yet once
again expensive resource.
Happy gardening through the heat!
Mrs Jenny Tiffin LPS Garden Coordinator
Book Club
A big thank you to everyone who supported our LPS Book Fair
over the past few weeks. Through our commission we will
receive over $1000 towards providing further resources for our
school!!
This week your child will receive the final Book Club for the
year. There are some great books advertised in this issue
which would provide quality reading over the school holidays!
After some Christmas presents? We have that covered with
Book Club! Simply order using parent name and contact phone
number and will ring you when your order has arrived….your
child will never know!
All orders due back to school Thursday 20th
November,
2014.
Thank you for your continued support!
Mrs Pearce
Book Club Coordinator
