Term 4 - Week 7 Thursday 22 November 2012

Dear Parents and Carers

It has been very heartening and rewarding to see how many parents and other family members have supported

recent school events. The recent success of the Kidsmatter Art Exhibition was followed up this week with

wonderful support for the Night of the Stars that showed off the wide variety of talent that our students

have in the Performing Arts. The crowd enjoyed some fantastic dancing, instrumental music, singing, magic, kung

fu and even hoola hoop performances. See below for the pictures and report. Congratulations to all the

participants for the great effort in preparing the performances and to Mrs O‟Grady, Miss Flowers and Ms

Rasmussen for their organisation along with the outstanding technical assistance and equipment provided by

Mike Pappas.

Of course we have another family event tomorrow evening when the Movie Night will finally be conducted. We

are expecting over 500 people and so you will need to come prepared with your seating or ground cover to sit on.

All the final ticketing, food and start time details are included below in the P& C News section. It is very

important that you realise that individual children cannot attend without adult supervision. This event will be a

great way to celebrate the success of all the Kidsmatter initiatives this year that have focused on improving

the level of parent participation and the community feeling of being included in school events.

We are nearing the end of the year with many important events being conducted to complete a very successful

year. Please take careful note of the dates and times of the presentation ceremonies. Some of the times and

arrangements have changed from past years:

Wednesday 12 December - Presentation Awards Day Y3-6, 9.15 – 11.00am

Wednesday 12 December - Presentation Awards Day K-2, 11.45am – 1.00pm

These two ceremonies will be separated by a Parent/Staff Morning Tea that will be held in the library

at 11.00am on Wednesday 12 December

Friday 14 December - Sports Awards Presentation Day 9.00 – 11.00 am. (This ceremony will commence

as soon as possible after 9.00am)

Congratulations

Kane Q and Damian C from 5/6F who participated in the

Regional Final of the Number Crunchers competition at

the Powerhouse Museum this Week

To Jordon Z, 3/4E & Daiyan M, 5/6S for their

outstanding entries in the Poetry Object Competition.

School Banking

New banking competition – win an iPad mini!

This is an easy competition for all school bankers to enter. Children just need to make a deposit at school on a

Tuesday between November 19 and December 14. Our final school banking day this year is December 11 so

students at Carlton have three more weeks to enter. There are 12 iPad minis to be won – each valued at $369.

Posters advertising the competition can be seen on the school noticeboard near the office. Terms and

conditions can be found at www.commbank.com.au/schoolbanking

3/4E winners again!

Congratulations to 3/4E who were the winners of the Dollarmites Achievement Certificate this week. This

award is given each week to the class who has the most children banking each Tuesday.

Deposit Books

At this time of year many children need a new deposit book. Our stocks have currently run out but hopefully

new deposit books should arrive by next week. If your child needs a new book send in their deposit with a note

in their wallet and a deposit slip in their new book will be filled out.

Rewards

Handballs and wallets are no longer available through the redemption program. They were extremely popular

prizes. If your child claimed one of these prizes this week tokens would have been returned with a note asking

your child to choose another reward.

Happy banking!

The Robotic Laundry Maid (RLM) The Robotic laundry machine can change your life forever. It will take away

those tedious tasks that nobody likes to do. The main functionality of the

RLM is the washing of your dirty laundry.

How does it work?

One push of a button and the RLM is in action. It has a built-in washing

machine so when it comes across any dirty clothes it can pick them up and

put them straight into the washer with its extendable arms. It can sort out

all the dirty clothes into blacks, whites, towels and linen. It can also sense

the appropriate wash cycle that is required. Once the wash cycle is

complete, it takes out the washing, puts it in a basket and even hangs it on

the line! It is also aware of how long it takes to for clothes to dry. Once

they are dry it takes them off the line and folds them into another basket,

ready to be taken back to the appropriate wardrobes.

You will never have to pick up, wash or put away washing ever again! What a

dream come true! You can say goodbye to washing and say hello to the RLM.

Combined Scripture Assembly and Thank you Morning Tea for Parent Volunteers

Next Wednesday 28 November is our very special combined scripture assembly. This assembly will be held in

the hall at 10am. Following this we will have a „thank you morning tea‟ at 11am in the staffroom. This is our

opportunity to thank all of our parent volunteers as well as our scripture teachers for their wonderful work at

our school.


Poetry Object

In Term 3, 3/4E and 5/6S wrote poems for the Poetry Object Competition,

organised by the Red Room Company. We were two of the lucky finalists.

On 15 November, we attended the presentation night at the State Library of

NSW with our families. The Governor of NSW, Her Excellency Marie Bashir,

and other famous people and poets were there.

The Governor started the ceremony by presenting a speech, congratulating The

Poetry Object project. She spoke about how young poets are the next

generation of poets that will shine around the world, representing Australia.

Then the Governor started encouraging children who have the talent as well as

the children who don‟t, to write more poems. With a final word, she declared the

exhibition officially open.

Then Mr Julian Morrow who hosted the evening announced the overall winner

and the runner up of the Poetry Object Competition. The winning poem was “The

Magic Cat”. After Mr. Morrow announced the winning teacher poem, he gave Her

Excellency a gift on behalf of the Red Room Company. Then there was a short

break. After that, certificates were presented to all the finalists.

We were very happy when our names were announced. We were honoured to be

part of such a wonderful project and, although we didn‟t win, we were still happy.

The smiles on our parents‟ faces were all we needed right then. Mrs Churcher

and Mrs McElroy, who attended the evening, were delighted for us too.

Tin Can Telephones The students in 5T have been studying the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell and were

learning how he came to invent this apparatus. It is said that the first words spoken over a telephone by

Alexander Graham Bell to his colleague Mr Watson was “Mr Watson come here please”. Nowadays we take the

telephone and mobile phone for granted but there was a time when there were no telephones at all!

A tin can telephone is made by joining two cans together with a piece of string. A person speaks into one can and

the other person listens with the other can. The voice sets a vibration along the string and the voice can be

heard on the other end. 5T has a lot of fun listening to each other‟s voices and discussing why we could be heard

in the can and not just in the classroom.

beautifully choreographed dances (modern, tap, Bollywood style, Kung Fu and belly

dancing); to superb playing of musical instruments (piano, violin, cello, organ);

talented hoola hoop dancing; amazing vocal performances; and a

terrific magic show. Carlton Public School certainly has so many

talented students. Thank you to Miss Flowers and Mrs O‟Grady

for co-ordinating the evening. Also thank you to Mr Pappas for

organizing the fantastic lighting and sound equipment. It made

the evening all the more special.
