A Carson Street School
Newsletter, written by the
students, for the students
Hi everyone! We hope that you are all keeping well, whether you
are back learning at school or have been doing some fun learning
from home. Things have been very different recently but we are
excited that life is getting back to normal again and hope that,
with everyone washing their hands and staying home when they
are sick, we will see you all again very soon.
Thank you to Dallas for our ‘like words-cool’ new logo, which the
journalists voted as being much better than Sarah’s attempt!
We hope you enjoy the second edition of The Rainbow Reporter,
full of fun articles, written by your friends.
Learning From Home
Being at home was no excuse
for Amalie, Alisa and Imogen to
stop their learning. Amalie
joined in with the community
rainbow spirit by creating her
own beautiful piece of art for
display. Alisa had lots of
outdoors fun with a clever
homemade bubble wand.
Imogen kept in touch with her
neighbours by driving her cool
wheels. Great work girls!
Greengum Reviews
Minnie loves the keyboard. She
thinks it is ‘I like this– pretty-
excellent-cute-great-lucky’.
Ameliah is not sure about
the toy spider. She said ‘I
don’t like this-mean-silly’
Nate thinks this monster
truck is ‘I like this–
favourite-fun’.
Imogen loves these
shoes. She wants
you to know they
are ‘ I like it-not-
naughty-good-best
-favourite-please-
please-please-ok!’
If you’re looking for something new to play with, Greengum have
some top reviews that might help you to make a decision.
Nate Reviews...His Sister
On a recent visit to Greengum, Sarah asked Nate to review a
toy. He was happy to do this, but only after he had provided
a review of his absolute new favourite thing...Baby Evie.
Nate said ‘help-uh oh-more to say-I like this-yummy-beautiful-
that’s all I have to say about that.’
He confirmed that he helps when she does an uh oh and that he
thinks she is yummy and beautiful.
Congratulations Nate, and to your Mum, Dad and big brother, on
the arrival of little Evie. We are sure you will be an awesome big
brother to her Nate.
Interview with...Mr Saleo Where do you go besides home and school?
(Wayne)
‘I like to go for bike rides. I ride to the beach
and back which is fun.’
Do you like butterflies? (Talia)
‘I don’t just like butterflies, I love them!
When I was travelling around Australia
in a caravan we went to a butterfly
park and there were butterflies flying
all around everyone.’ Do you play music?
(Russell)
‘I used to play the guitar
but I’m not very good. I
like to listen to music,
especially from the 90’s.’
Are you happy with your bag? Are you
happy with your tissues?
(Musa)
‘The only bag I have is a backpack that I
use to go hiking, so when I am wearing it,
yes I am very happy.
I don’t really have to use tissues a lot but
yes I am happy with the ones we have.’
Do you like ‘Head, Shoulders,
Knees and Toes’ and ‘Row
Your Boat’? (Minnie)
‘If I had to pick one it would
be ‘Row Your Boat’ because I
like kayaking. I think it is
great fun.’
Do you go to the dentist?
(Ameliah)
‘I do go…but I don’t like going!’
(Asked whilst homeschooling in Term 1) Are you at school? (Adrien)
‘I didn't stop coming to school because I wanted to make sure it was ready
for anyone who wanted to be here. ‘
We Have Something To Say…
About Coronavirus Uh oh!!! We can’t have visitors to our school at the moment to read
the thoughts we put up on our communication board in The
Rainbow Room. To help out, we have put your thoughts here, so
you can share them at home with your families.
Parents and Carers, this is Term 2’s discussion about the children’s
thoughts on Covid-19. Their responses might be important for you
to talk about at home. Their Term 1 thoughts on likes and dislikes
will be sent home to you by the end of term.
Please note, not all students want to contribute to the discussion
and that is ok. We are here listening for when they do want to chat.
We have not included the comments of those students without
newsletter/ media permissions.

Out and About With Adrien
We may have had to stay at home a little more than usual but
we can still go for a nice walk to get some fresh air and daily
exercise. Our reporter on the scene, Adrien, gave his opinion
on the playground and park near his home, when he was
home schooling. Once he came back to school, he gave his
opinion on the school playground too.
Now that more things are open, you might be going out a bit more.
If you would like to send in a review of somewhere you have been,
you can be a guest Roving Reporter by emailing your review and a
photo to sarah.oneill2@education.wa.edu.au
Adrien thinks the park
near his house is
“Something’s Wrong– I
don’t like it-Boring!”
Adrien said that the school
playground is ‘I want to
show you something-new’
and agreed that the school
playground is much better.
Have You Heard About Our
STEM Room?
We are very lucky to have an exciting STEM room at school that
all classes can go and explore. We sent a team of top reporters in
to investigate and report back. Over to you REACH class...
“I like when you tap the sea animals, it makes noises, it’s exciting and you feel like you’re in the ocean!”
Samuel
“noises-water-happy”
Ken
“I like noises when you hit, sounds like (makes the noise) walrus noise-fart!” (giggling) Austin
Have You Heard About Our
STEM Room?
“My favourite was making the rainbow fish. I love playing with the connectors (magnetic tiles) “
“It’s cool! My favourite was the green light tornado and the red alarm.” Ryan
See You In Term 3 for another exciting edition
Faction Update The Faction Event for Term 2 was a Faction Quiz. Students answered
questions on Literacy, Numeracy, Values, STEM, and Entertainment, as well
as getting points for attempts to spell their name.
It was a tight race but the final scores have been added to Term 1’s total
and you can see the leaderboard below. How did your team do?
If things stay Covid-19 free in WA, we will be holding a Faction Sports Carnival
in Term 3. More information will come out next term with plenty of notice for
you to invite your own personal cheer squad along to watch!
