Welcome back to Term 4 which promises

to once again be an extremely exciting

at Sharon State School. If your child is

absent please remember to contact the

school office.

Prep Orientation Day

The school will be hosting a Prep

School Sport

Our Friday afternoon school sport for this

term has ‘kicked off’ with the girls

participating in Touch and the boys

playing Oz-Tag. It is sure to be fun for all

involved. The kids are excited to get out

there and ‘have a go’.

Swimming

The swimming program for years 3 - 6

children is commencing next Thursday

19th October and continues for 7 weeks

at Bundaberg Swimming Academy. In

this extremely humid weather at the

moment I am sure that the kids (as well

as possibly some staff) will be looking

forward to the opportunity.

Mosquitoes

Since our extremely wet start to Term 4

there has been a large increase in the

number of mosquitoes around the school.

The school is working hard to try and

combat this using the resources that we

have at our disposal. However it would

be advisable to apply a deterrent suitable

for your child at the beginning of the day.

Pupil Free Day

Just a reminder that next Monday 16th

October is a Pupil Free Day. Staff will

be at school, participating in

Professional Development activities and

planning for the rest of the year. Please

make other arrangements for your child

on this day if you haven't already done

so.

See you all on Tuesday...

We are studying the Storm Boy novel and film. We will be writing a comparison for our assessment. Some children have been drawing pictures in their own time because they have enjoyed reading the story

A Mr Percival picture by Umairah.

Year 4/5 Classroom

The students in Year 3/4 have been working with different types of measurement since the start of this term. They have measured length using pieces of string a metre long as well as our rulers to measure smaller lengths in millimetres. We have used grams and kilograms to measure mass as well as litres and millilitres to measure capacity. In maths and science we have been using our new thermometers to measure temperature. We are so good now, we could have helped Goldilocks decide which porridge to choose!

Year 3/4 Classroom

Page 8 A P&C Meeting was not able to happen on Wednesday 11th October due to a lack of attendance of parents and school community members. The next meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday 1st November at 5pm in the School Library and we would urge parents to attend as without parent input the P&C will be unable to assist with the usual end of year concerts, break ups, movie days and excursions that generally occur in Term 4 each year.

Just advising parents that the tuckshop will operate on TUESDAY ONLY and over the

term we will look at doing some other hot food days when they fit in the school

schedule.
