Travis' Birthday

Today we celebrated Travis' 6th birthday!

Happy Birthday Travis!



Multiplcation

Today we started learning about multiplication - we call it sorting into groups. We made 2 groups of 5 and then 3 groups of 4. See if you can work out the groups we have made below:

What we did in the holidays....

K-2 Athletics Carnival

Scone Public will be holding their K-2 Athletics carnival this Friday14th October @ the Scone athletics fields (where the excercise park and netball courts are).

Students should wear their sports uniform, including running shoes, and will need a hat, sunscreen, drinks, and their lunch (unless they are ordering from the canteen).


The students should arrive at school as normal on Friday and we will walk to the park together. Each child will participate in some running races throughout the day and also have some fun joining in the extra activities such as sack races and noodle javelin. The theme for our sports day is PARTICIPATION and FUN!

The children are able to order their lunch on Friday, however they must have their lunch order into the canteen by tomorrow - with the correct money and clearly labelled with ATHLETICS CARNIVAL, THEIR NAME, CLASS AND AGE GROUP.

Food available to order is:pies $2.50
party pies $1.50
sausage rolls $2.00
Hot Dog $2.00
Sauce sachet (tomato or bbq) 20c
Ham/Chicken Salad Roll $4.00
Drinks will be available for purchase at the carnival (flavoured milk, water, juice and cans of drink).

Parents are most welcome to attend, and if possible, we would love you to help out with some activities throughout the day. Parents and friends will be able to buy their lunch directly from the canteen at the sporting complex.

Other food items and treats will also be available.

Hope to see you all there.....and don't forget to wear your running shoes either.....we like to have a parents race at the end of the day!

Kindergarten Oakvale Farm Excursion

Well the pictures are finally here! Sorry about the delay - I was unfortunately very sick during the last two weeks of school. But a restful holiday has worked a treat and I'm fighting fit again!



If any parents have some great pictures from the excursion (and wouldn't mind sharing them) just email them through to me at anna.carter5@det.nsw.edu.au and I can upload them on the blog so everyone can see them!

School Closure

Just a reminder to parents and students that Scone Public School will be officially closed on Thursday 8th September (this Thursday). There will be no teachers and therefore no supervision at school on this day. Parents will need to make alternative arrangements for their childs' care on this day.

And also a reminder about our Oakvale excursion on Friday. We will be departing at 8 o' clock and returning at approx 4 o' clock. Students will need to wear their sports uniform and must have a wide brimmed hat. Students will also need a packed lunch and snacks.

Oakvale Farm Excursion

I have noticed that some students have not paid for the Oakvale excursion next Friday 9th September. The cost is $38 per student. It would be great if those students could please make their payment as soon as possible. Also, let your child's teacher know if they are not attending, so that we don't have to chase them about their money.

We only had 17 seats available for parents, and therefore had to draw names out of a hat.Notes have been sent home letting parents know if if they are the "helper" parents. If you have NOT been notified, then please ask your child's teacher.  Parent helpers can send in their money $38 to the office asap. We would like to thank ALL the parents for their offers of assistance......it is always most appreciated.

We are very excited about our upcoming excursion. Here are just a few things to remember:

• Each child needs their own packed lunch/recess/snacks/drink - NO SPENDING MONEY
• Pack a jumper and sunscreen
• The students will be entertained with movies and fun activities along the way, they DON'T need to bring any toys/games/etc
• Bus departs Scone Public School at 8am sharp.......don't be late!
• Bus arrives back at Scone at 4pm......Kids will not be back in time for buses, so each student must be collected by an adult/family member. If another parent is going to take your child home, then the teacher must be notified in writing before the excursion day.

John Heffernan - Author Visit

Last Friday, author John Heffernan visited our school. He spoke to us about the books he had written and he even told us about a new story he is writing at the moment. We really enjoyed listening to his stories, especially the one about the sheep that went to the beach with him. We laughed and laughed.

Here are a few pictures from the day.

Every day we stop for 15 minutes (during the morning) and eat some fruit. We love this time....as you can see from the pictures!

Today, for Sight Word Smashers, we took our words outside and painted them on the concrete using water! We had a great time!
