Crookwell Public School – 155 years

of public education for the children of

the Upper Lachlan Shire in 2020!

14th February, 2020 Term 1 Week 3 Happy Valentine’s Day

In The Classroom (New feature) This year we will be including a new feature in the newsletter titled ‘In The Classroom’. Each class will have a designated week to showcase some of the great things they are doing in their classroom. This week is 1/2 Kangaroo’s turn.

This week students in 1/2 Kangaroo enjoyed reading the fantastic book ‘Pea & Nut’ by Matt Stanton. We were kept busy reading, writing about our favourite characters and explaining why they were our favourite. We also painted some amazing pandas and flamingos, who were the main characters of the story. We can’t wait to discover some new stories for next week’s activities!

Charles Willis and Hudson Hape enjoy reading the story

together.

Indi Fahey, Tommy Dunn and Faith Riles are proud of their

beautiful flamingos and panda.

Voting will close on Friday 21st February, with the top four names becoming the official names of the Crookwell Public School chickens. Happy voting! The top 10 names to be voted on are: Cinnamon, Banana, Oreo, Mabel, Olaf, Bob, Chickpea, Unicorn, Esme and Mavis.

Crookwell Show Success Alec and Cooper cleaned up at the Crookwell Show last weekend! The boys, supported by Kaz, worked tirelessly throughout the first two weeks of school to get entries together for the competition. Their hard work paid off! The boys walked away with 1st AND 2nd places for their jam,

artworks and corn from the school garden. Congratulations!

These three just couldn’t contain their excitement! Well done Alec, Kaz and Cooper!

5/6 Kookaburra’s Creative Artwork Students in 5/6 Kookaburra have continued working hard researching and learning about the Australian Bushfires. From group research assignments to artworks that inspire writing, students have covered many areas. Skyelah Gray has taken her work to another level, not only did she create an inspiring bushfire landscape but she converted and presented her descriptive writing in Braille! Well done Skyelah on this amazing piece of work.

Skyelah proudly shows her artwork and her descriptive story

which she presented in Braille.

Please Make an Appointment The strong, positive relationship that exists between the staff of Crookwell Public School and our school’s families is appreciated and valued. The opportunity for parents and teachers to openly and honestly discuss aspects of a child’s education is welcomed and of vital importance.

However, as teachers are extremely busy of a morning preparing for the day ahead and often have commitments after school, I urge parents to phone the school on 48321213 to make an appointment to meet with a teacher. This will ensure teachers can fully focus on the issue/concern raised by the parent and allow teachers to address commitments and preparations uninterrupted.

Your cooperation with this request is greatly appreciated.

Stage 1 News Topics Next week, students in Stage 1 will begin sharing news with their class once a week. Students will speak on a variety of news topics to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of key learning areas covered at school. We ask that you encourage your child to regularly participate, as it assists their speaking and listening skills. Please see the table below for your child’s news day. Thank you for your support!

Good luck to all the students representing Crookwell Public School in the district carnival in Goulburn, Thursday 27th February. Permission notes will be sent home with students shortly.

Due to the much needed rain the water carnival had to be cut short last week. Thankfully we were able to complete the competitive events. This will see many students represent Crookwell Pubic School at the district swimming carnival in Goulburn. The tabloid component of the carnival will be pushed back to Term 4 due to swim scheme and other pool bookings in the lead up to the end of the season. All students that have paid their money for the pool or hold a pool pass will not need to pay again.

No Hat …… Play In The Shade Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world with 140,000 new cases and 1,000 deaths recorded annually. The increasing occurrence of skin cancer in Australia is a matter of concern with skin cancers accounting for 80% of all new cancers diagnosed each year.

The A.C.T. and surrounding region has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in Australia. The major cause of skin cancer is exposure to ultraviolet radiation over many years, particularly during childhood and adolescence. Even if exposure does not cause obvious sunburn, damage still occurs and accumulates over the years.

To help protect students from over exposure to the sun during Term 1, the school’s policy of ‘No Hat…Play in the Shade,’ will be strictly enforced.

Please encourage your child to wear their school hat at school to help keep them sun safe.

N.B. Adjustable microfibre school hats are available from the uniform shop at a cost of $15.00.

School Photographs - Wednesday 4th March

On Wednesday 4th March The School Photographer will

visit the school to take class, individual and sibling photographs. Please ensure your child comes to school on that day looking clean, neat and tidy wearing full Crookwell Public School summer uniform. Remember jewellery is not permitted and girls can wear only red hair accessories. Please return your child’s photograph form to school on or before Wednesday 4th of March or before.

Google Play app store. 2. Follow the prompts to create your own account. 3. Type Crookwell Public School and press enter. Tap

the plus icon to add school. 4. Ensure you allow Skoolbag to send you push

Core Rules Student Discipline in NSW Government Schools

All students in NSW government schools are expected to:

Attend every school day, unless they are legally excused, and be in class on time prepared to learn.

Maintain a neat appearance, including adhering to the requirements of the school’s uniform or dress code policy.

Behave safely, considerately and responsibly, including when travelling to and from school.

Show respect at all times for teachers, other school staff and helpers, including following class rules, speaking courteously and cooperating with instructions and learning activities.

Treat one another with dignity and respect.

Care for property belonging to themselves, the school and others.

Behaviour that infringes on the safety of others, such as

harassment, bullying and illegal or anti-social behaviour

of any kind, will not be tolerated.

Make Each Morning Count Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is well known that children who eat breakfast everyday are more receptive to learning.

Clean Up Australia Day Clean Up Australia inspires and empowers communities to clean up, fix up and conserve our environment. What was started thirty years ago by an ‘average Australian bloke’ who had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard has now become the nation’s largest community-based environmental event.

It is hard to believe that this initiative began as the inspiration of one man, Ian Kiernan. An avid sailor, Ian was shocked and disgusted by the pollution and rubbish he continually encountered in the oceans of the world. Taking matters into his own hands, Ian organised a community event with the support of a committee of friends, including co-founder Kim McKay AO.

This simple idea ignited an enthusiasm and desire among the local community to get involved and make a difference. And surely if a capital city could be mobilised into action then so could the whole nation. And so it was that Clean Up Australia Day was born in 1990.

17.7 million plus Australians have donated their time as part of Clean Up Australia activities over the last 30 years.

35 million hours of volunteer time has been donated to Clean Up activities to benefit our environment.

365,000 plus ute loads of rubbish has been removed as part of Clean Up activities.

Of course, Australia’s waste challenges can’t be solved in just one day, so over the last three decades, Clean Up Australia has evolved into an organisation that works with community, government and businesses to provide practical solutions to help us all live more sustainably every day of the year.

Today our focus is as much on preventing rubbish entering our environment as it is removing what has already accumulated.

Crookwell Public School will participate in Schools Clean up Australia Day on Thursday 27th February, 2020. Students from Kindergarten will clean up the school playground, Year 1 and Year 2 students will clean the area immediately surrounding the school while students in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 will target an area further afield but still well within the Crookwell town boundary. Teachers and Support Officers will accompany and supervise the students in their quest to make a positive difference to our local environment.

To participate, students will need to wear their school uniform and school hat. We encourage students to wear sunscreen and bring gloves and a disposable bag in which to place collected rubbish. These smaller bags of rubbish will be deposited in larger bags that have been supplied by Clean-Up Australia.

We will make a real difference to our local community as we remove rubbish from our environment while participating in the nation’s largest community based environmental event. Let’s get busy to Clean-Up!

2020 VOLUNTARY SCHOOL CONTRIBUTION

What is A Voluntary School Contribution?

The vast majority of public schools request a contribution from parents each year to supplement existing funding. These contributions allow schools to provide additional resources and learning programs for our students. What Will The Money Be Used For?

The money will be used to purchase resources to support teaching/learning programs for each student across the school.

How Much? The suggested contribution is $50 per child. Please note

that this roughly equates to $1 per child per week. I cannot stress enough the difference to our school finances that your contribution will make. The contribution fees are within the guidelines set by the Department of Education.

How To Pay

Please place your contribution, with the slip below, in an envelope and return it to the school office as soon as you are able. If you prefer, you may choose to pay a contribution in instalments. A receipt will be issued for all monies received.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our school.
