Hi All

Happy Birthday to!

On Tuesday I spoke to all of the students at our school explaining that


everyone needed to be vigilant in ensuring that if they have a cramped
stomach, diarrhoea or are nauseous they need to let the office know
immediately so we can track whether or not this illness is getting better or
worse across the school. I also told them this is not their fault and to inform
their parents or teacher immediately they are unwell. If they have any of the
above symptoms they need to stay home for 48 hours after the last incident
The new Board of Trustees met last night. Our June 2016 board is;
Parent Trustees
Carla Taylor

Thank you to those of you who voted in these elections.
Our work with Gaye Byers who is providing us with outstanding professional
development in writing is helping many of our students make great gains in
the number of words they know. Their vocabulary and their ability to write their
thoughts and feelings are also improving grades for most students.
Please encourage your child to read and write at home especially during the
holidays. You can read some of our students stories in this newsletter or on
their Class Blogs on our website
Kind regards
Phil Palfrey

By the time students leave us in Year 6 we want them to be confident, inquisitive, articulate
problem solvers, who can use a varity of communication tools to make sense of their world

Aman: The flames clutched onto the house claiming it as if it was his prize.
It's hues of red and orange combined and made a vibrant colour that

A3 has been working on Show, not tell in our


writing for the past few weeks. We ate chocolate
this week, and have tried to share the wonderful
experience with you by showing, not telling what
it was like.
The solid slice of dark cocoa is a bully mocking
me with its fragrance. My mouth waters like a
drizzle of rain. It was once hot fudge, lured into
an ice cold area and shaped into a segment of
orange. It is torturing my tastes buds by lying
there instead of hopping into my mouth. Citrus
and sweetness finally dissolves on my tongue. All
the elements that make it what it is harmonise
together like a choir in my mouth.

The flavour travels up my nose begging me to
eat it. I gaze at it, and my mouth opened,
creating a stream of saliva. The smell is inviting
me to come over and chew it up. My belly
rumbles like a racing car. The slice of cocoa
chocolate runs up my nose. I grab it and let it
ooze over my tongue. My tastebuds go wild. I
nibble so I dont get in trouble but it was too late.
I let it flush down my throat. I am addicted.

stung my eyes. I took cover behind the couch and studyed the flames
through the transparent window. The flames knocked down the door and a
big ominous cloud dashed inside and began to silently fill the rooms with
toxic gas. Dad screeched "evacuate the house" as he raced to get the keys.
I dashed outside to the car and plopped down onto the seat.
Toraevianah: The cherry red flames were mesmerising. I recognised it
from the office windows. Dad yelled "We should get out of town, before
it's too late!" We raced to the car before the fire got enormous. The fire
was a dangerous dog. I could hear the destruction from down the road.
Moana: The ruby red flames were hands climbing across the ground,
destroying everything in sight. We noticed them from outside the window.
It's top flames were fingers ready to grab you at any moment. Dad
stuttered, "We...we should leave town to get to safety." We scurried to the
car and put our belongings inside. We zoomed out of town but the flames
were stalkers following us. It was sinister.
Tristyn: A big black ominous cloud surrounded the house and trapped the
terrified house with its ghostly hands. I hid under my cosy bed and
peeked out of my transparent window and Dad shouted "We need to get
out of here!" as the tangerine flames crept along the wall. We all darted to
the car and I slumped into my seat. The flames kept on following us.
Phew! I took a gasp of relief and looked back on the treacherous journey.
