Early Birds Graduation At Inverell Public School we offer a one of a kind transition with our Early Bird Program that extends over 2 school terms. Your child has participated in interactive learning activities that have involved music, stories, craft, computer and iPad activities, social skill development, familiarising themselves with their new environment and for some, the most important thing - bus travel! which is always very

exciting. During this time children become more confident, socially, emotionally and academically. These skills will assist them in their current journey from Preschool, to Kindergarten in 2015. It takes many people to make our program a success and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved from office staff, teachers, teacher’s aides, executive staff and senior library monitors. Our local preschools; Jack and Jill, Early Intervention, George Street Children’s Centre, Catherine Campbell Centre, Kindamindi, Platypus, and you the parents and carers for your dedication, care and commitment to our future students and their families.

currently being conducted at our school. These are six week programs that look at developing self worth and increasing self esteem, developing strength within oneself, making good choices and resisting peer pressure, respecting oneself and those around us and thinking about what the future may hold. All of the students that are currently involved look forward to working with their mentors each Wednesday afternoon.

Science in the Bush On Friday 7th November, 22 students from Year 5 travelled to Armidale UNE to participate in “Science in the Bush”. During the day we carried out an experiment to test your hands for germs. We carried out a test on speed and accuracy by throwing a ball at a target and measuring the results from different distances. After lunch we went into the chemistry lab where we learnt how the different colours in fire works are made by heating different chemicals. We also got to make slime!

Everyone had a really good time. Congratulations to Jessie Bills on winning a prize in the lucky dip!
