Term 4, Week 2 Wednesday, 19th October 2016
Dear Parents, We have a couple of fun events happening this week and next which are always lots of fun and a highlight of the school year.
Spring Fair
Book Fair and Book Character Parade
Friday, 28th October
th
Tomorrow, Thursday 20 is our Book Character Parade. The theme is “Australia! Story Country”. This is an awesome theme as it encompasses so many possible character ideas either a character from a book written by an Australian author or an Australian book character – Ned Kelly, Blinky Bill, a swagman, a convict. Books like Possum Magic, Wombat Stew, Snuggle Pot and Cuddle Pie, the list is endless. We look forward to seeing some amazing outfits. If your child could carry a copy of the book or a sign so we can easily identify who they are dressed as, that would be very helpful. Book fair is also being run in the library in conjunction with our book Character Parade. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Perhaps do some Christmas shopping. The school library benefits from a percentage of the sales and is able to purchase new books for our library

Spring Fair Next week, Friday, 28th October is the Spring Fair. A small group of dedicated volunteers is busy planning for this fun afternoon. Lots of new and exciting activities have been planned. Please remember donations for your child’s class basket for the “Chocolate Wheel”, stall item donations, creative containers (a prize will be given to the class who supply the most containers) and the raffle with some amazing prizes to be won. (There is a pizza party for the class who sells the most raffle tickets) If you need more raffle tickets, please contact the school office. Thanks to our wonderful P & C for organising this. Cyber Safety I’ve included a brochure with some hints for your family to use to ensure your child is using the internet safely and wisely. There are so many different chat sites and social media pages that it is important that we are vigilant and know exactly what it is that children are posting and reading and who they are contacting online. Next Wednesday the police schools Liaison Officer is

coming to talk to our Years 4 to 6 students about cyber bullying and cyber safety. https://esafety.gov.au/education-resources/iparent is a wonderful site with all sorts of helpful hints for parents which I advise everyone to have a look at. It is lovely to see the weather warming up and drying out a little. Remember, children’s school sunglasses are available for sale at our school office for $12 a pair . We also have School Sports shorts for sale at $15 a pair. I was recently told how lovely it was to see the Mulyan students playing so well together outside of school. The comraderie and respect they have for each other is admirable. Enjoy your week

Intensive Swimming Intensive Swimming lessons will occur again this year. These lessons are conducted by trained swim teachers. The children attend every day for 2 weeks. Swimming is a vital skill that all Australian children need to master. There is a big difference between being able to paddle and being able to swim confidently and having the ability to save yourself if put in a challenging situation. Swimming lessons are available to students in Year 2 – Year 6 with priority given to students who cannot swim 25m confidently, especially Year 2 and 3 children. This year, we have been fortunate to secure 2 swimming sessions so that all our students who need to participate in swimming lessons get the opportunity. Lessons are in weeks 6 and 7 ~14th November to 25th November. Lessons are free. The only cost involved is Pool Entry and Bus. A note outlining times and cost has been sent home this week.

Canteen News The canteen is trialling tubs of fruit flavoured yoghurt. They will be available at recess and lunch for $1 (includes spoon) This week’s flavours are mango, mixed berry and strawberry. There are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Fruit smoothies coming soon!
