Spelling sheet List 2 was given out yesterday. All children have been levelled in Spelling using two assessment tasks. In Grammar the class is learning about common/proper nouns. Our maths focus for the week is whole numbers to 100 (2 digit numbers). Our handwriting looks at letters with downstrokes. We have started our History unit ‘The Past in the Present’ which looks at learning from the past, respecting the past and technology through history. If you have any concerns please contact me at school. My parent time is 2.15pm to 2.30pm Wednesdays if needed. Mr Taylor

Our canteen is staffed by volunteers only and as such we are seeking more volunteers to help this year. If you have some spare time and would like to help out, please let us know at the school office.

K-2 Water Activity Fun Day Students from Kindergarten, Year 1 and 2 enjoyed a fun morning playing with water while the older students were at the swimming carnival. They had a great time shooting each other with water cannons, playing with the Octopus sprinkler, shooting baskets with sponges and slipping and sliding on the slip’n’slide!

Office News… Please fill out and return the change of details form, that went home last week, if you have changed any phone numbers, addresses, contacts or family circumstances. For any changes to afternoon arrangements please ring before 2.15pm so we can get the message to your child on time. New signage will be installed around the school over the next few weeks. Since the change to our new system each classroom has been called by an Australian Animal name and signs have been purchased reflecting this. As a part of this, except Kindergarten, classes are being called after their animal, and are named as follows:

KJ – Possum – Mrs Jarvis KW – Koala – Mrs Wiggins

1E – Echidna – Ms Johnson 2B– Bilby – Mr Taylor

3/4P – Platypus – Miss Simcoe 3/4Q – Quokka – Mrs LaCoste

5/6E – Emu – Mrs Jessett 5/6D – Dingo – Mr Marzinotto

When filling out the permission/payment envelopes these are the classes you would use for your child/children. PERMISSION/PAYMENT ENVELOPES – occasionally we have more than one event happening. In this case please send in one envelope per event per child. This assists office staff in the processing and could ensure your child does not miss out on events. Our newsletter goes out via the Skoolbag App. This a free app available in the app store. Just download and search for Corindi Public School. If you wish to receive a paper copy of the newsletter please let the office know.
