TRANSCRIPT
It has been great to see the students able to get out and play in the playground with their friends in between our week of wet and cold weather.
Even with these playground opportunities, the students have done well adapting to the new restrictions on games like soccer and football that they are unable to play currently.
Unfortunately, this is contributing to some level of unease as yet another level of stress impacting the students in the current climate. We will be adding more supervision to the
playground and Mr Harris will be spending some time in every class over the coming week to talk about general wellbeing and how it can be managed in the playground. Have a great long weekend.

Farewell and Thankyou Ms Bayliss
This week also saw another change at ABPS
with Ms Bayliss finishing her teaching career. Ms Bayliss has been a fixture at the school for many years and leaves a legacy of excellence in educating and guiding so many children from
Anna Bay. Her experience, mentorship and presence will be greatly missed by the staff and community as we wish her well in her new journeys.
Wellbeing Project
The Gan Gan Centre and the school have been working together on the Wellbeing Project to support students and families during the COVID 19 situation. There is more information in the form of a booklet as part of this newsletter about the project.
We make a difference, every child matters every day.
A few reminders about our current whole
school routines.
All students should be at school unless
they are unwell or they have a medical
certificate that states that they are unable
to return due to an ongoing medical
condition.
Schools have returned to face-to-face
delivery of learning and the remote
learning packages will not continue.
Playground equipment is open and is
cleaned after each play period.
Modified arrangements for pick up and
drop offs currently in place will continue.
This includes the use of the gate near the
K-2 grassed area. The Government’s
advice asking parents to pick up and drop
off students at the school gate also
remains current. We continue to ask
everyone to be mindful of social
distancing at the school gates at drop off
and pick up times.
The gate on the K-2 oval is only open for
pick up as the K-2 oval is not supervised
during morning play.
School buses continue to operate as
usual.

1/2V Artwork
The students in 1/2V have studied the colourful
work by Autralian artist Ken Done. This inspired us to create some impressive paintings of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
6L Class update
6L are happy to be back and settling into
learning!
WHO? We are 6L. There are 28 of us and our
teacher is Ms Lepschy.
WHAT? We learn lots of
things, and we have fun. For
instance, we have been
learning about division and
fractions over the past 2
weeks. Today we made a
tally of all of the different
lollies in a bag and then
expressed them as fractions.
In Science, we have been
looking at adaptations animals
and plants have developed to
live in different environments.
We imagined new animals with
special adaptations for desert
environments.
One of our English activities as been to create
story stones. We had to pick a story and think
about the characters and structure of the story.
Then we had to pay attention to the ways we
could describe them. We have enjoyed
painting them and learnt a lot about how
great we are at art.
We make a difference, every child matters every day.

Please remember
to bring a drink bottle
to school each day.
The bubblers are currently unable to be used.
See if you can figure out which children ’s
story this set is for:
We can’t wait to share our story stones
with our Kinder buddies!
WHERE? We learn in our classroom, use
the playground as our classroom and enjoy
using the specialised STEM room because
we’re future focussed learners, and are
applying our measurements of the school to
create a Minecraft Education scale model of
ABPS.
