PRINCIPAL’S PEN Dear parents/guardians
Bush Tucker Garden
We cannot thank the amazing Dale Hoy (father of Aliya, Jaxson and Austin) enough for the work he has done in our Bush
Tucker Garden. Dale has worked so hard in his own time to form up the paths and lay the beautiful river stones that our
students have completed in Art this year. Thanks also goes to Miss Bartlett and our gardener, Peter Sillem, for their help with
the project too. The garden looks even better than we’d anticipated! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Congratulations
Big congratulations go to Miss Cara Baker (E1) who has secured a teaching position in Karratha for next year. She is looking
forward to moving to regional Western Australia and taking on a new challenge in her career. Miss Baker has been instrumental
in getting our Wastewise and sustainability projects up and running as well as coordinating our Bush Tucker Garden project.
She will be sorely missed but we wish her all the best in her new school.
Junior Primary Cubby House
Our teachers have been wanting to put in a cubby house for our junior primary students for a long time and, with the help of
some crafty P&C volunteers, we have finally managed to secure one. This will be put into our junior primary play area over the
next few weeks. Thanks to Tim Crouch and Yari Kostecki for their help with pick-up, delivery and installation. The students will
be so impressed – as will the teachers.
Writing Prize
“It has been my dream to write with a published author and soon, I will get to do so!”
Abigail B, one of our Year 5 students, will realise a dream when she gets to meet with a mystery author at the Fremantle
Australian Storyteller’s Festival. A keen writer, Abi had to submit a written entry of 50 words or less about why she should win
this prize, something she said was quite tricky. However, she is very excited that her efforts have paid off.
For all the budding authors in our community, Abi encourages you to keep trying, and not give up.
Congratulations, Abi!
Year 4/5 Parent Survey – Dance
Our School Board are currently trying to ascertain whether there is an appetite for more dance classes in our upper primary.
A very short survey was sent out via Dojo to parents of students in these year levels to gauge interest in having both EduDance
and social dance classes in Years 5 & 6 next year. If you have not yet completed the survey, please do so via the following
link:

Thank you to those families who have already completed a NSOS. If you are yet to do so, please click on the link below, which
will take you to the survey online. Paper copies have also been sent home with students if you would prefer to complete them
in this way. Paper copies can be dropped into the school office.

Creaney Community Awards
At our final assembly last term we announced our winners for the first of our Creaney Community Awards, an initiative
coordinated by our School Board. Congratulations to Jareen Wyatt and Cara Baker on their awards for contributing to
Aboriginal education and Waste Wise initiatives respectively.

OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DAY On Thursday 5 November, students from Kindergarten to Year 6 participated in Outdoor Classroom Day. This is a global
movement to make time outdoors part of every child’s day and to understand that spending time outdoors is key to improving
health, wellbeing and happiness for our children.
It was wonderful to see the enjoyment on the children’s faces and served as a timely reminder that play is not only central to
children’s enjoyment of childhood, but teaches critical life skills such as problem-solving, teamwork and creativity.

SCIENCE WEEK Week 4 was Science Week at Creaney Primary School. The theme for National Science Week 2020 was 'Deep Blue:
Innovations for Our Future Oceans.' To acknowledge this theme, students participated in a whole school S.T.E.M day. S.T.E.M
stands for Science, Technologies, Engineering and Mathematics. The children used the technology process to plan, design
and create a 'tool' that could clean the ocean. We set up buckets of water with 'clean' rubbish for students to test their tools.
We had rubbish of all sizes, even tiny pieces of confetti, to represent the micro plastics that are very difficult to remove from
the ocean. The children have been learning a lot about the issue of plastic pollution in the ocean, and how they can make a
difference. The participation and learning across all classrooms was spectacular, and the children had a fantastic day. Thank
you for your support in collecting and donating materials for this project. Congratulations to the following prize winners!
1. Most Creative Name: The Super Scooper Draininator 2000
Jacob W, James D and Violet H from A1
2. Most Creative Design:
Josh H, Warren Y, Kobe C, Ben E and Josh H from E1
3. The Engineer's Award:
Max H and Ben H from 6B
4. Most Functional Invention:
Tilly L and Tara D from 6A

CODE CRACKERS This week (Week 4) was the first week we invited the Year 1’s to
participate in our school lunch time program called ‘Code
Crackers’. This program is designed to expose students to a
range of different types of technology. Using a play and explore
based approach, we are exposing them to different user-
interfaces, sequencing and problem solving scenarios.
We had so many Year 1’s engage with the program, and as we
know, they took to the technology like a duck to water. The Year
3’s did such a great mentoring job, gently guiding them through
some of the activities and encouraging them to simply play and
have fun. There were plenty of smiles, giggles and amazement
from the Year 1’s as they were able to control and program robots.
We look forward to seeing familiar faces each week and hopefully new ones as the word spreads about ‘Code Crackers’.
The Technology Team.
