Principal’s Report
Dear Parents and Carers,
We sincerely hope all our families are doing well and we are thinking of you all. Another week passes by under stay at home orders and I know we are all wondering when life will resume a little more normally. Hopefully we will receive an update from the Premier this week regarding what schools will look like at the end of Term 3 and in Term 4. Once that information is available to us, we will be sure to share it with you. Thank you to all the staff, students and families for the amazing work being done during such a challenging time. We are so impressed by the quality of work that our students are submitting.
Last week we held our online Book Week Parade. It was wonderful to see all the amazing costumes. A slide show is available on the Tarago Public School Facebook page. Next term we will hopefully be able to celebrate Book Week at school and hold the Book Fair.
Attendance Matters
In line with the current public health orders, parents must keep children – of all ages, across primary and secondary schooling and early childcare – home if they can. Students who are learning from home are marked as F for flexible. However, students must be demon-strating engagement in remote learning for flexible to be applied otherwise teachers will need to change flexible to absent. If your child is unwell and not able to complete school work, please advise the school so that your child can be marked absent due to sick-ness. School work is expected to be completed on the day it is programmed for and completed

News from K-2
We have been learning from home for over two weeks now and students in K-2 have been busy completing work from their learning packs. It has been wonderful to be able to communicate to students via SeeSaw, and it is great to hear recorded messages from students in response to assigned activities. Pictured in the newsletter are some of K-2's magical creatures. This was a creative arts activity where students drew a magical creature and thought of a sound that their creature would make. Unfortunately you can't hear the sounds that go with the drawings, they are very interesting. Annabelle flew her kite after writing about her kite at home and learning about the letter 'k' making the sound /k/. Millie found an old lantern in response to a history task. It is about 86 years old! Elijah is also pictured here, working hard to learn his spelling words. We are really missing our K-2 students and hope that we will be back to face-to-face learning soon.

↓ Matilda’s Pen Pal from Mount Nebo State School, Queensland. Aisha is a very talented Cartoonist!!
All students at Tarago Public School have a Pen Pal from Mount Nebo State School. The students have been writing back and forth since the beginning of 2021. It has been great for students to interact with children in a school of similar size to us. They write to each other telling them about themselves asking questions. This has been a great learning activity for all the children involved. Below is a letter sent to Matilda from her pen pal Aisha. Children have been encouraged to talk about themselves and their life and interests.
