Monsters Inc at CBS
2016
Spot the monsters - with thanks to Room 1 and an interloper.
Planning is well underway for the 2016 school year. Currently we are seeking feedback from parents to help us make placements for children who are already at school. To assist us to accurately understand our staffing needs for next year it would be very helpful if parents with children starting school in 2016 completed the enrolment process now.
Thanks to the transforming nature of professional make up artist extraordinaire, (Leisa), Mike from Monsters Inc made an appearance at school on Friday. This was thanks to the generosity of our community raising over $20,000 by way of the Mathathon earlier in the term. A great day with plenty of laughter and, hopefully, not too many frights.
Not Self But Service - Operation Christmas Child The next opportunity for students to help others in need is called Operation Christmas Child. This is run by an organisation called Samaritans Purse. You can find more information at their website: https://www.samaritanspurse.org.au/operation-christmas-child/. The idea is that we fill a box (about a shoe box size) with gifts that a less fortunate child will enjoy for Christmas. Each class will link their boxes to a specific age group and will set about filling the box with small gifts (new). Gifts can include - clothing, soft toys, bangles, handbags, necklaces, something for school - pencils, pens, erasers; toys - skipping ropes, yo-yo, finger puppets; something for hygiene - soap, face wash, toothbrush, moisturizer, hair clips etc. Please note that the following items cannot be included - things that melt or may leak, food of any kind, used or damaged items, anything breakable, toy weapons, toy money or anything related to gambling. Each class will do one box for a boy and one for a girl. If you are unable to donate items then perhaps you can donate a few coins to help pay for the postage of the boxes (each box costs $9 to cover postage). We are hoping to do at least 150 boxes. There are some spare boxes available if your family would like to complete one themselves.
While we have estimates of the number of new entrants starting school in 2016, having actual confirmed enrolments provides us with much more confidence when it comes to planning. Enrolment packs are available from the school office. They can also be posted to you if you contact: admin@campbellsbay.school.nz Thank you for your help.
FOCBS The next meeting is on Thursday evening. Please see FOCBS information page five.
Thank you for your on-going support in helping others in times of need. Any questions please contact Julie Bose (julieb@campbellsbayschool.nz)
Not Self But Service - Canteen Members of the CBS Student Council are helping to raise money for Canteen this term and we need your help! Canteen is a charity who help to ensure that no young person aged 12-24 goes through cancer alone, be it patients, their siblings or other family members. We will have mascots and ‘bandanna-sellers’ coming around the classes throughout weeks 9 and 10 to sell awesome bandannas for $4 each. We will also be having a gold-coin-donation mufti day on the last day of term, Friday 25 September. Be sure to also wear your bandanna on the mufti day, if you have bought one during weeks 9 and 10! All funds raised will go direct to Canteen and the great work that they do to ensure that cancer patients and families are never alone, so please help us to help them!

MINIBALL
We may be able to enter a fourth miniball team into the Junior Breakers team for Term 4. If your Year 1 or 2 child is interested in playing miniball in Term 4 please contact the Sports Coordinator. This league is about giving kids the opportunity to get as much ‘hands on’ time as possible so they play 4v4. Games are in 45 minute slots which includes a warm up that encourages the kids to work on fundamental skills, along with some basic rules of their league. Games are then played as two 15 minute halves. Games are played on Monday afternoons at the Breakers training venue off Constellation Drive. 2015 YEAR 5 AND 6 CBS CROSS COUNTRY TOP 10

CROSS COUNTRY
Last Tuesday our inter-school cross country team headed to Sunnynook Park to compete against four other schools in our annual cluster event. Each school entered 24 competitors with 6 in each race. Several of our Year 5 girl runners were upset to miss the race after falling ill the day before. However a last minute hunt for some courageous and willing reserves meant we were able to attend with a complete team. After a few anxieties at the start line everyone ran their very best especially: Luke Old - 1st Year 6 Boys Cam Maunder - 2nd Year 5 Boys Lucy Leith - 3rd Year 6 Girls An outstanding performance by these runners! The placings of all runners contributed to an overall score for each school. This year the trophy was won by Mairangi Bay and Campbells Bay were placed second. Thank you to everyone who cheered on our team and for those parents who helped prepare the children at our practice session. Lastly thank you to the team reserves who remained on stand-by in case they were needed.
The Year 3 CBS Firebirds came 2nd in grade C this season at Kidzplay.

Next FOCB meeting is Thursday 17 September at 7.30pm in the staffroom. On the agenda will be a discussion about an end of year carnival/family evening- possibly linked to the end of year concerts. If you have an opinion on this and or are able to help organise it, please come along to the meeting. These events require a substantial amount of organisation, but are well worth it as the children and community enjoy them very much. It requires a group of people to make this happen - not just one or two. Look forward to seeing you there! This is advance notice on a Ladies’ Movie Night. The Dressmaker, starring Kate Winslet - a story of love, revenge and haute couture. Mark your calendars now and gather your girlfriends: 22 October 8.00pm, Hoyts in Takapuna. Set in the fictional country town of Dungatar, Australia, it is the story of Paris couturier Tilly Dunnage, who returns home to visit her mad old mother and the town that expelled her as a child. She ends up staying, creating fabulous frocks for the ladies of Dungatar and skillfully disguising their ‘flaws’ – in Rosalie’s words: “ship-sized hips, ski-run shoulders, watermelon bosoms, (and) mantle piece bottoms”. However, in the process, the characters reveal their true flaws of jealousy, envy, pride, pretentious ambition and rivalry allowing Tilly to exact her sweet revenge in a thrilling climatic ending.
CALENDARS, CARDS AND DIARIES

All 8 high quality cards are printed with the same art design. Price: $12.00
CBS a Winner Hi! I’m Jaelynn and I won our school $5000 worth of technology by making a video about my most memorable moment with my teacher. When I found out that I had won the $5000 worth of technology I felt really happy and proud of myself, because I knew that the devices would help my classmates. Sometimes there aren’t enough devices for everyone and then people can’t use them for their learning, but now there will be enough devices for everyone! I am so happy! I want to thank all the people who voted for me and I want to thank my mum and dad, because my mum and dad used social media to tell people about my video. This actually links to our inquiry- we have been learning how to use technology to connect with others in a positive way. My video helped people connect in a positive way. Mrs Lanning met with Mary from Cyclone Computers in week 8 to talk about the $5000 we have to spend. We ended up spending the money on 12 HP chrome books. We can’t wait to use our new devices to connect and learn. Thank you SO MUCH to the University of Auckland and their #MyTeacherMoment campaign for running such an inspiring competition with such an amazing prize that will enrich our learning!
