Week 9 Term 3 2018

Ter From the Principal

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Term Three is almost complete and it has been extremely busy. The students all performed proudly at the Whole

School Concert and it was wonderful to know that so many parents and carers were able to attend. Today the

Lindfield band students came to perform and show our children all of the different instruments that can make up an

Intermediate Band.

Over the past few weeks I have, with the Schools Administration Officer, been attending training on the new HR

payroll system that has been rolled out across schools in our district over the past few months and yesterday, I

attended a Police Forum with the Local Area Command to discuss how we can work together to better support our

students from Primary to High School. Have a safe and relaxing holiday and we will see you all next Term.

3/4C

KR

In 3/4C this Term, we have been learning all about measurement. We

engaged in collaborative learning in competing in a class competition for

the paper chain challenge. Each student was given 1 piece of paper, glue

and scissors and the challenge was to make the longest paper chain. Here

are some photos of 3/4C designing their paper chains.

This Term Kindergarten were fortunate to receive a Sporting Schools

Grant which means we have had Skcool Gym run Gymnastics lessons for

five weeks. We have been learning about using the trampoline, balance

beam, mats, pole and learning how to do pike, pencil and motorbike

jumps. The students have had an absolute ball.

Peer Support

This Term Noumea Public School has been participating in Peer Support. These sessions are run

on a Monday afternoon and are led by the Stage 3 students. The learning focus for Peer

Support this Term is ‘Promoting Harmony’. Noumea students are given the opportunity to

work in small groups of 8-10 consisting of students from Kindergarten to Year 4. In the unit

‘Promoting Harmony’ students discuss what it means to be harmonious, learn effective

strategies to be able to cope with conflict and standing up for themselves and peers.

1K have been celebrating Fruit and Vegetable month by making a fruit salad and writing

procedures to explain how to make it to others. They also made different fruit and vegetable

Whole School Concert

We had a very enjoyable afternoon at our Whole School

Concert this week. The theme was ‘Lights, Camera, Action’

and each class performed to a song from a movie. Our hip

hop group, Stage 1 dance group, Aboriginal dance and

multicultural groups also performed. Everyone did a

fabulous job. We were overwhelmed by the community

support and hope everyone enjoyed the show!

Thank you to Miss Thompson and Mr Aves for their time

and energy in coordinating the event.
