Welcome to the second week of Term 2 for 2014. On Parade this morning we gave special acknowledgement to our 2014 Year 12 Class and our Prep Class (which continues to grow and grow).

Hi Parents and Students, Welcome back to 2014! It's shaping up to be an exciting year ahead. Last week we did instrumental auditions the results of which will be announced this week. Please make sure to keep in mind that we have a lot of students wanting to be a part of the instrumental music program and as such there will be a waiting list. Older students will always get priority over younger ones. Sign up sheets for choir, guitar and keyboard lessons will be up in the music room as of Monday. All music activities will be on as usual with the addition of keyboard lessons once a week. There are limited spaces in the keyboard lessons so please be sure to let Miss Donovan know if you are interested.

Hi to everyone, here we are in week 2 already. It has

been a pleasure ge)ng to meet all the new preppies and their families.

It is great to see that all of the students in Prep are coming to school with smiles on

their faces and appear very keen to learn. I must say thank you to all of the parents

and caregivers that you have been so suppor,ve and posi,ve and that always

encourages the children to come to school.

A huge thank you to the parents who have returned the “geDng to know your child” note.

Last week was spent teaching the students about school rou,ne and they are all very quick learners. We have

been learning our school rules.

Be a Learner

Be Safe

Be RespecFul

Be Responsible

As parents and teachers we need to ensure that these amazing li�le people come to school every day with a

posi,ve outlook and a)tude, this will enhance their learning experience throughout their en,re school

experience.

Swimming starts this week and forms have gone home. Please ensure you return the forms with payment to the

school as soon as possible.

Swimming will be in the first session on Tuesday morning and will con,nue for the rest of the term. Students are

to wear their togs to school, and bring their uniforms and undies to change into. Please remember a towel,

sunscreen, sun shirt, goggles and a swimming cap for the students with long hair, or please ,e the hair back.

Also the students will be visi,ng the school library every Tuesday, so could you please ensure that your child has

a library bag to enable them to take a library book home.

A few reminders-

Doors open at 8.15 am sharp, please do not leave your child alone

School finishes at 2.30pm please ensure you are there on ,me as it students

become very distressed.

Students need to bring water everyday. Please provide a drink bo�le. And Names on

Drink boGles please.

Cloncurry State School has a “No Hat, No Play” policy, so please ensure your child

has a wide brimmed hat. Base ball caps are not suitable. We have very limited

supplies of hats in Prep and for hygiene purposes it is not best to share hats, so from week 4 if your child does

not have their own hat they will not be able to play outside with the other students. Names on hats please.

Closed in shoes need to be worn at all ,mes.

Helpers in the classroom are always greatly appreciated, please let me know if you are interested. No experience

necessary.

I will be including our “Learning Points for the week” so that you know what specific sound, le�er, sight word,

number we are learning so that you can assist at home. I hope you find this helpful.

Learning Point

– Sound /Le�er – S and A

Sight Word – and , is

Numbers – 1 and 2

Un,l next week have a good one.

2014 is here and what a week we have had to start off the year!

Both the students and myself are excited but exhausted. The Year 1 students

have been working hard, ge)ng to know the new rou,nes and learning about

the expecta,ons of our classroom. I’ve been very busy ge)ng to know all my students and

where they are at in their learning so I can best help them develop and achieve.

In the first few days of week 1 students have been reading and prac,cing their handwri,ng,

and revising their number knowledge and coun,ng in Maths.

Year 1 start their school swimming in week 2 on Wednesday. Please help your children

remember their togs, and towel.

I am looking forward to a fantas,c 2014 with the Year 1 students, helping them develop and

achieve their best. Please drop in so I can introduce myself to you. Miss Bischof

Welcome to 2014. It has been a busy first week back to school. It

has been great ge)ng to know my new class and learning all about

them. We have been doing lots of revision of our sight

words . Yellow class went to the library to borrow some

library books to take home with them. Next week

homework and daily home reading will begin. Homework

will be due every Friday and reading folders will need to be

returned daily. Next Thursday Yellow class will begin

swimming lessons. Please ensure that the notes have been

returned to the office along with the swimming fees. Hope

everyone has a great week.

Miss Rachel Rozynski

Even though week 1 is over I would just love to say a huge welcome to Purple Class.

This week was a big week for us. We sorted all our sta,onary for the term, and we began our units.

Can I just say a HUGE thank you to all parents and guardians of Purple Class. EVERY SINGLE child came to school

with all of their equipment for the year. That is amazing to see so thank you parents!

In English this term we are exploring poetry. This week we began by listening to a range of poems and we created

our own defini,ons for audience and for purpose. We also reflected on each poem we heard and spoke about if

we thought it was a poem to inform or entertain us. We decided most were for the purpose of entertaining.

In Maths we began by recapping our 2 ,mes tables and shapes. We are learning a song for each of these concepts

and we can’t wait un,l we know them so well that we sing them all day. We know you

can’t wait for that either!

In Science this week we opened our unit by sor,ng a range of objects into different

categories. We decided to sort them based on their size and their shape. We then

sorted them based on what they were made of. This kicked off the introduc,on to

exploring materials, which is our focus for Science this term.

Congratula,ons to Jillian and Chloe, who won Miss Regan’s prizes for having the most

PBs in week 1.

Next week we will be beginning our homework book. There is an informa,on sheet in

the front of the book for parents and guardians. Students have week 2 of their

homework book and 2 home readers. Please make sure you fill out the reading log each

,me you read with your child so I can track the number of nights we are reading.

We have also being swimming with Mr Bailey . Please come to school in your uniform (we will get changed at the

pool) and please make sure you have a towel and a hat, both labelled with your child’s name.

Have a great week! Miss Jemma Regan

Hello and welcome to 2014 in Green Class. As Miss Norton says “We are keen for 2014”!!!

This year we are running a mul,-age 3/4 and I feel so lucky to have the ‘old’ Year Three’s to help me

establish our new rou,nes!!

I won’t bombard you with too much this week! Thank you to everyone for having

students’ equipment ready to go. It makes everything so much more efficient and

allows everyone to get down to business quickly. The kids look great in their

uniforms. Hats are so important, so please, if you have ,me, just check that hats

are coming to school. I will let you know if hats are missing! I am really impressed

with the quality, nutri,ous lunches that are being sent to school. There seems to

be so much research that links breakfast and healthy food with greater learning

capabili,es. Keep it up!

Swimming begins this week (Week 2) on Wednesday at 1.20 (aPer second

lunch). Students require swimmers, towels, sunscreen and broad-brimmed

hats (no caps). Forms have been sent home and payment can be made at the office. Permission notes

must be signed before students can enter the pool.

Un,l next week …Take care Miss Lizzie (Elizabeth Keim)

Welcome to the start of 2014 school year!

What a busy start to year it has been and I am very

pleased to report that the children of Blue Class are working and se�ling

in very well.

Blue Class welcomes Kaydee Kelly and Connie Tabbi who have joined Cloncurry

State School this term. We welcome them and their

families to Cloncurry State School and the wider community.

We have some new and exci,ng topics that we are ge)ng into this term. For

our first English unit we are learning about narra,ve wri,ng. This unit of work

is centred around the funny and fabulous book “The Twits,” by Roald Dahl.

Homework has begun and will be due on the Friday of each week. Students

who are on levelled readers are strongly encouraged to change their home

readers every day.

If you have any ques,ons or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me in person, via the school

phone number or by email. Stay tuned for our Blue Class term overview which will be posted on the

school website.

Have a lovely week! J Miss Katrina Madigan [email protected]

What a great first week we had!!

The students in Red Class have se�led in very well! They had lots of exci,ng

stories to tell me from the Christmas break. We have dived straight into our

science unit, where we are learning about different adapta,ons which help

animals survive in their environment. The students are looking forward to

crea,ng their own creature at the end of the unit. Homework starts next

week.

See you next week!

Welcome back everyone. I hope you all had a

wonderful Christmas and New Year. Tuesday was our first day back and it was a

joy to see the students in Orange so excited and ready to learn. We started with

a sheet called All About Me for the students to fill out, so

that I could get to know them be�er. The students had an

English lesson looking at short stories, the students then

wrote short stories for homework. We also went over how

to set out our books; they all did a wonderful job.

Orange class will have Sport on a Wednesday with Mr Bailey. They will start swimming next

week and a note will be sent home with more details. Please make sure that your child

brings a water bo�le to school as the weather is so hot at the moment.

Parents please feel free to come and see me any,me about any concerns or just to have a

chat. Happy Learning, Thanks Dearne Hodge s

Our 9/10 cohort of students are off to an impressive start! Students

have been working hard in all subject areas and par,cipa,on in learning

ac,vi,es has been excellent. Students were given diaries this week to assist them in being

as organised as they can be with homework and assessment tasks. Students are required

to bring these to school each day. An assessment calendar will be released

shortly, outlining the due dates for all term one assessment items. If you

have any ques,ons regarding assessment or your child’s progress, please

don’t hesitate to make contact. We extend a warm welcome to the new

students in our 9/10 classes and we look forward to a wonderful year with

you all.

Welcome back to term 1! 2014 will certainly be a year of hard work

and well-earned rewards for our senior students. They have quickly

se�led in and are working hard on ensuring they a�ain results reflec,ve of their poten,al. Our year 12 students

par,cipated in team building ac,vi,es during Life Skills and their willingness to par,cipate and support their peers was

fantas,c to see; they will each be fantas,c role models for our younger students. The year 12 cohort took ,me out of their

aPernoon on Thursday to deliver a small token of their apprecia,on for our teachers and office staff. They created li�le packs

filled with a tea bag and chocolates as part of our ‘paying it forward’ ini,a,ve we’re working on this year.

This week I asked students what they were most looking forward to about commencing and comple,ng their senior years of

schooling, here are some of their responses.

Zane Smith –“ I am looking forward to achieving my

goals and working towards a great OP score.”

Hannah Bradley – “I’m looking forward to crea,ng

friendships that will last a life,me. I am excited to be

accessing different subjects in year 11 through distance

educa,on as well school-based subjects.”

Connor Trim –“I want to leave my op,ons open and

work towards grades which will allow me to select a

career in any industry I choose.”

Sally McGee – “Working hard at school and

experiencing the senior trip at the end of the year.”

Terri Paine – “QCE and a great OP score, and the senior

trip.”

Brian McLeod – “Senior Trip and achieving good

grades.”
