Principal’s Update SPLITZ GYM TAKES CLASSES During HPE lessons this week, Splitz Gym coach John Zhang has delivered beginning gymnastic lessons for all classes. These lessons have been very well received by the students. They even got to jump into the pits in

IMPROVEMENT AGENDA
The School Improvement Agenda for 2015 is to improve Reading and Writing by 1% -2% compared to students’ Reading and Writing results in 2014. To achieve this, a team approach has occurred across the
school.
Extra teacher aides have been employed to support individual and group literacy teaching. The school introduced the FastForWord program to improve
memory, attention, processing rate and sequencing. Over 40 students have accessed this program so far and
more have enrolled for Semester 2 To date the results are positive. All prep student have completed the
Support A Talker programs – oral language development is the key to improving reading and writing. Students from English as a Second Language or dialect (EALD) have undertaken the Multilit phonics and
word recognition program. Teachers have undertaken professional development with Literacy Consultant, Lee Denton on how to improve their teaching strategies in Guided Reading and
Guided Writing. Library resources for literacy have been significantly increase to support home readers and reading enrichment. The Master Teacher has working been
with teachers in years 2,3, 4 and 5 in developing Reading Goals and Targets. She has also inserviced all teachers on the explicit teaching of guided reading.
As we are half way through the year, teachers are now assessing the progress of their students and fine tuning their teaching practices for Semester 2. Parents are encourage to talk with their teachers at parent teacher
interviews on Wednesday 22 July about their
child’s progress in Reading and Writing. SCHOOL OPINION SURVEY
The annual School Opinion Survey will be conducted between 29 June and 31 July 2015. All families, school staff and a random sample of students will be invited to participate. Access details for the Parent/Caregiver Survey will be sent
home with students next week. School computers will be also be available to parents Wednesday 15 July 9.00 am – 10.00 am in the ICT lab TB4 to complete the survey.

Gifted News DA VINCI DECATHLON
REPORTS
By Chris Gregg (Year 5 team) We arrived at A.B. Paterson
College with 21 other schools to
see who the best in QLD was.
Our three teams did exceptionally
well with one of the Year 6 teams
coming 1st in two categories;
Mathematics and General Knowledge! The Year 5 team was
mentioned a couple of times in
the top schools placing 3rd in
Engineering and 4th in General
Knowledge. The other year 6
team was also mentioned a
couple of times, coming 2nd in
Creative Producers and 3rd in
Code-Breaking. Everyone thought
it was a fun day out and we are
looking forward to seeing who will
be in next year’s team! Good luck!
(Team members: Jared, Joy, Josh
S, Joshua C, Chris, Alicia, Asher and Abi)
By Annabel Lee (Year 6 A team) At the Da Vinci Decathlon last
Wednesday there were some
moments that were hard to get
through but there were moments
that I enjoyed greatly. The
categories I enjoyed most were
Art and Poetry and Code-
Breaking. For Art and Poetry our
task was to create an artwork
that represented movement and
then write a poem to match the artwork. For Code-Breaking we
were given a series of difficult
questions that required us to
break several different codes.
Overall my team won two prizes,
2nd for Creative Producers and 3rd
for Code-Breaking. (Team
members: Annabel, Carly, Jason
C, Simon, Nic, Edie, Celeste and
Alastair)
By Tiana Tong (Year 6 B team) I went to the Da Vinci Decathlon
of 2015 with my team Esther,
Grace, Tirus, Jack, Teagan,
Justin and Der-An. We competed
in ten different categories
including science, cartography and philosophy. We had to work
together to finish all the
categories in a set time. In
Creative Producers we had ten
minutes to make a 60 second
play on finding a bunyip. In
Engineering we had to make a
tower that could hold marbles
only using a small amount of
materials. We had great fun
doing all the categories, but my
personal favourites were General
Knowledge and Creative
Producers. We had an awesome day!
STEAM RESIDENTIAL Another STEAM Residential

QAGTC CHALLENGE 2015:
WORKSHOPS FOR THE GIFTED Challenge 2015 is an exciting
two-day program of challenging
activities designed for students

seeking extension beyond the
regular school curriculum. The
workshops will be held at
Anglican Church Grammar School over two days of the
school holidays; Tuesday 30 June
and Wednesday 1 July. More
information on the program and
how to register can be found at

Library News Book Returns for End of Term All library resources are due to be
returned before the holidays.
Could you please assist your
child/ren in returning their books
by Monday 22 June so that they
can be scanned and shelved.
Home readers must be returned,
as well as general library books.
Please look out for notes being
sent home from the library this
week listing any outstanding
loans that need to be returned.
Readers Cup Well done to our Readers Cup
team. Gabrielle, Holly, Ashlyn
and Helen performed well in a
field of 27 school from the
Brisbane South area as they
competed at Algester State School
on Thursday. The girls met
author David Cox, who presented
a great speech about his writing
and illustrating processes.
Congratulations girls!
Help with Covering We currently have a huge
number of new books that require
covering. We would appreciate
the assistance of any volunteers
to help get these covered before
the holidays so that they are
ready for our students to borrow
immediately in term 3. It’s not a hard job, just time consuming!
Due to the quality of the
materials we use, it is a LOT
easier than covering student
exercise books. If you can spare
any time in week 10, please drop
in to the library and cover a few
books. Training, tea and coffee
are provided, and younger
children are welcome to join you.
Premier’s Reading Challenge The Premier’s Reading Challenge
has commenced. Students will receive a reading log before the
holidays. These are due to be
returned to the library by Friday
28 August.
‘The Premier's Reading Challenge
(PRC) is an annual statewide
initiative for state and non-state schools and home-educated
students up to Year 9, and
children attending an approved
kindergarten program or long day
care centre. Over the past ten
years, more than 10 million
books have been read, and in
2014 alone over 108,000
students participated in the
challenge. The challenge is not a
competition but aims to improve
literacy and encourage children
to read widely for pleasure and
learning.
To successfully complete the
PRC, students must read or
experience the number of books
indicated in the table below. The
requirement for Year 5 through to
Year 9 students to read 15 books
acknowledges that older students
are likely to select longer, more
complex books that may take
them longer to read. Students
who complete the challenge have
their efforts recognised through
the receipt of a Certificate of Achievement signed by the
Premier of Queensland.’
The following activities can be
counted towards the challenge:
reading independently
shared reading
being read to (Prep – Year 2
only).
The following literature forms can
be counted towards the
challenge:
printed books
e-books, virtual books and
digital publications
graphic novels and comic
books
audio and braille books
newspapers, magazines and
recipe books
Happy Reading,

P & C News P&C UPDATE Congratulations to the School for
a great Evening of Excellence. It
was very interesting to learn
about some of the history of the
School and the P&C. The P&C
raised some vital funds to put
towards air-conditioning the
Music Room thanks to some
dedicated helpers and chef Gary
(Mr W) who did a great job on the
school’s new BBQ. Don’t forget to
send gold-coin donations with
your children on free-dress days.
These days have been very successful so far and help us
raise the funds we need to
complete projects that benefit all
children at Robertson State
School.
The P&C executive are meeting
this week to ensure that from an
organisational perspective, the
P&C is running smoothly. We’ll
be reporting any actions from
that meeting at the next P&C
meeting.
We’re also rebuilding the P&C
website. The old website will be
replaced very soon with a new,
fresh website that’s easy for us to
maintain and easy for parents to
navigate.
ENTERTAINMENT BOOKS Help the P&C raise enough
money to air-condition the music
room. For every Entertainment
Book or Digital Membership sold
through the P&C, we get to keep
$13. For $65 you can save lots more money throughout the year
by buying Woolworths and David
Jones e-gift cards at a discount,
through the MyBookings website
which guarantees the lowest
accommodation prices at over
1700 hotels and through the
hundreds of 2 for 1 and discount
vouchers at cafes, restaurants,
take away venues and other
entertainment places. We saved
$65 in just two weeks. Order at
www.entbook.com.au/222h379 or contact
g.au for more details or cash
sales.

on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 from

本校的資深專業老師The Master Teacher與2,3,4和5年級的教師們, 共同制定閱讀目標,
並指導所有教師詳細的閱讀教學策略。 由於第二學期已近結束，老師正在評估他們的學生的學習成果,
藉此調整自己的教學策略。
鼓勵家長們在第二學期第2週左右和老師面談, 以了解自己的孩子在閱讀和寫作方面是否進步。

Da Vinci Decathlon 十項全能競賽心得報告
By Chris G (year 5 team) - 我們到達A.B. Paterson
College與其他21所學校競賽，看看誰是昆士蘭州最好的團隊。我們學校三個團隊都非常出色:
其中一個6年級團隊在數學和常識組榮獲第一名！ 5年級團隊的在工程組獲得了第三名,
在常識組獲得了第四名。另一個6年級團隊在創意製作獲得了第二名, 在密碼破譯獲得了第三名。
每個人都認為這是很有趣的一天，我們期待著看誰將會參加明年的團隊！祝好運！
（團隊成員：Jared, Joy, Josh S, Joshua C, Chris, Alicia, Asher and Abi）
By Annabel L (year 6 A team)
我最喜歡的類別為藝術與詩歌和密碼破譯。關於藝術和詩歌，我們的任務是創作一件藝術品，然後寫一首詩描
述這件藝術品。 在密碼破譯這關,
我們有一系列棘手的問題，需要我們突破幾個不同的代碼。我的團隊贏得了兩個獎項: 在創意製作獲得了第二名
, 在密碼破譯獲得了第三名。 （團隊成員：Annabel, Carly, Jason C, Simon, Nic, Edie, Celeste and
Alastair）
By Tiana T (year 6 B team) – 我的團隊成員有：Esther, Grace, Tirus, Jack, Teagan, Justin and Der-
An。
我們在十個不同的類別競賽，包括科學，地圖學與哲學。我們必須共同努力，在設定的時間內完成所有類別。
在創意製作這關，我們有十分鐘製作60秒的戲劇。 在工程，我們只能用少量的材料做一個能支持玻璃珠的塔。
我們有很多的樂趣參予所有類別，但我個人最喜歡的是一般知識和創意製作。 我們有個很精彩的一天！
