NAPLAN FINISHES today for the year 3 5 7 and 9 students in our Educa1on
System. Whilst some students get very concerned about ‘tests’ it is something that
we need to reassure them is a posi1ve way of working out what is known and
what needs to be known. Last week our students were involved in an ‘equa1ng’
study which is a prac1ce run that students have in one element of NAPLAN before
the assessment this week. Whilst the informa1on collated was obviously useful for
the NAPLAN organisers, it was very helpful for us from an organisa1onal point of
view. NAPLAN is an unknown quan1ty for year 3 students so they were able to get
some good prac1ce in before the actual event. We learned that they needed more
working space than we allowed in the equa1ng test. We also learned that 45
minutes is a long 1me to be si<ng down without being able to move or talk!!!!!
Hopefully our students benefi>ed from the early opportunity to have a go at the
format that was used this week and that no one has been too stressed throughout
this assessment period.
TOMORROW WE are having a guest speaker coming to school to talk about road
safety. Simone Power has run talks at a number of schools designed to raise
awareness in students about being safe on the roads. She is the vic1m of a road
accident herself which is why she feels it is important to pass the message along.
She charges a nominal fee (which the school is paying) and will run two sessions ,
one with F-2 and one with 3-6. Given that we have had some trouble with students using the road correctly, we thought it a 1mely reminder about safety!
SCHOOL INTERVIEWS ONLINE for the student conferences in the last week of this
term are now OPEN. Website is www.schoolinterviews.com.au and the code is
68gv7. REMINDER that if you have a child in Paul Moon’s grade, the interviews
will be held in Term 3.
CHECK OUT the great senses poem wri>en by 3/4P – terrific!!!
Have a good weekend folks!

Week 5, Term 2
This week we are exploring all about Healthy Eating. The children are making a food pyramid displaying all the
healthy foods that we should be eating. The children have also participated in a food experiment of why it is important to wash your hands. We have a child who washed their hands, and a child who didn’t wash their hands
then touch bread. We wonder what’s going to happen…
Week 6, Term 2
In this week we are going to looking at Insects! We will look at different life cycles for different insects, and make
our very own insects! And of course you can’t have an insect week without watching A Bugs Life!
Quick note from Brodie
My apologies for the absent of the OSHC newsletter for the past couple of weeks, we’ve had some technical
issues.
We have also started to take more photos of what the children are doing in OSHC and the children are writing
about the photo. Please come in to see the beautiful photos and what the children have been up to!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:
If your child sometimes forgets to come to after school care, or if you’re worried that they might forget, I
have created a bag tag which can be popped onto the child’s bag in the morning on the day that they
are going to after school. If you would like one, please come and see Brodie in the after school care
room.
We’re here to make after school care visits the best experience possible – for you and your child.
If you have any questions about the program – please feel free to drop by, meet the team and see what happens in after school care first hand.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
The Camp Australia Team.

School Banking
Account Opening Day – Wednesday 25th May 8:308:30- 9:30am
It’s never too late to get started!
We’re excited to offer the Commonwealth Bank School Banking program to all students at Wattle View Primary
The School Banking program provides children with an opportunity to deposit money into their Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account at school each week and is designed to develop the habit of saving. There is no minimum deposit: School Banking is
about how oen rather than how much your child banks.
To encourage regular savings behaviour the program offers an exci1ng Rewards Program. Every deposit earns your child a Dollarmites token, and once they’ve collected 10 tokens they can redeem them for a reward.
The rewards available during 2016 are:
Flying Snake Tail
Wildlife Writer Set
Mud Splat Handball
BANKING DAY IS TUESDAY
Each week books are collected from
the classroom and returned after
processing.
Outback Pat Bag Tag
Backtrack Eraser Pen
Jump and Skip Rope
Bush Fly Fan
Wriggly Glow Worm
School Banking is also a great fundraiser! Our school receives $5 when a student makes their first ever School Banking deposit
and 5% on every deposit made through the school (to a maximum of $10 per individual deposit).
If you are interested in opening a Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account for your child, please bring along your
current driver’s licence or another form of photographic identification. There is no need to provide identification for
children enrolled at school. Alternatively, you can open an account at your local branch. All you need to bring is your
current identification as well as your child’s birth certificate. If you are an existing Commonwealth Bank customer and
have NetBank, you can open an account online.
