Intensive Swimming
Intensive swimming begins next week
(Week 8) and continues until the end of
Week 9. We will go to the pool
EVERYDAY for swimming sessions.
Students need to wear their swimming
gear to school every day for Weeks 8
and 9 whilst intensive swimming is on.
Students will also need to bring a
packed recess and water bottles as well
as goggles, sunscreen, clean/dry clothes
to change into and anything else they’ll
need at the pool. There is no cost to
parents with the school covering entry
costs ant the P & C paying for
transport. Thank you to the P & C for
your generous donation.
Special Lunch Day
The P & C ran a very successful special
lunch day last Friday. Students and
staff thoroughly enjoyed the sausage
sandwiches! Thank you to the parents
who assisted on the day, your efforts
were very much appreciated!
Presentation Night
This year’s Presentation Night will be in
Week 9 this term on Tuesday the 6th
December, starting at 6:30pm. We have
moved it forward a week, so it doesn’t
clash with other school’s presentation
nights. Please mark it on your calendar,
and we hope to see many of you there!
Dates for your calendar:
25th Nov. Uniform orders due.

Principal’s Message
Welcome to Week 7!
This week we have five girls travelling
to Sydney with me to participate in
Schools Spectacular from Wednesday
to Saturday. We wish them the best
of luck and hope they have a great
time!
School swimming will continue this
Friday and students will need to be
picked up from the pool on Friday if
they don’t travel on the bus or walk
home. If your child is to stay at the
pool, you will need to send in a note in
with your child.
Students will need to bring $2 per
child for pool entry on Friday.
Intensive swimming will begin next
week (Week 8) and run for 2 weeks.
You will need to fill out the permission
note and indicate your child’s
swimming ability. Please return this by
this Friday 25th November.
Lastly, just a reminder that if you
wish to see a teacher for any reason,
please see the office or the teacher
on duty for any issues or to make an
appointment. In the mornings teachers
are very busy planning and preparing
for the day and don’t always have time
to meet with parents.
Have a great week!
Mrs Welsh

Dingos in the Castle
Wombats in the creek
Crow in the tree
Now they know how to speak
Burrowing in the dirt singing
lots of songs
They need to take a nap
But they burrow all day long
Kangaroos jumping all
around
Eating lots of trees
They want something green
they steal some keys
Mums reading the newspaper
I am reading a book
Ben is watching television
He only has to look

Poodles in the Piggery
Poodles in the piggery
Rats in the house
Parrots in the bed
Kittens chase the mouse
Crawling up the fountain
From the bottom chair
Hiding from the bear
Messing up their hair
Horses in the stables
Call to their friends
Waiting for their dinner
Foals in their pens.
By Rianna Reeves
Randomness
Motorbikes in the shed
Bikes in the room
Rubber in the house
Searching for a broom
Running up the street
From the cross roads
Leaping from the bottom
Pushing through the goats
Navys in the plane
Walk to the machine gun
Taken down by the missile
Two by two they run
The race is slowly over
And theres a stop to fight
The sore are all fixed
The people brang back the kite
