P a g e | 2

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE I trust that you have all had a restful Easter Vacation and have been able to make the most of time with family

and friends. We have a busy term ahead and I am going to take this opportunity to bring you up to date.

Staffing Changes

Mrs Hadfield has extended her leave for the first two weeks of Term 2 and I am honoured

to continue in the role as acting principal. Mr Brendan Vickers has returned to Shailer Park

State School and Mrs Tanara Turvey will be acting Deputy Principal for these two weeks.

Mrs Turvey will in turn be replaced by Ms Megan Rainbird. Megan is a new teacher to

Wynnum but comes to us as an experienced teacher.

We welcome Mrs Lynda O’Donoghue to our Executive Team as our

newly appointed Literacy Coach. Wynnum State School has long

focused on reading as a priority and Mrs O’Donoghue comes with

a wealth of experience to further enhance teacher development assessment processes

and student outcomes. Mrs O’Donoghue was previously at Amberley District State School

where she was employed as Head of Curriculum. She has also worked as a Literacy and

Numeracy Coach, a Master Teacher and Learning Support Teacher.

We welcome Mrs Rebekah Dassler to Year 1. Mrs Dassler is an

experienced teacher and is replacing Mrs Larissa Billsborough

who is currently on maternity leave awaiting the birth of her first

child in mid-May. We wish Mrs Billsborough well at this exciting time for her new family

and welcome Mrs Dassler to our Year 1 team.

We welcome back Mr Smith from his term of leave. Ms Connie Richards will remain at

Wynnum State School two days per week as she and Mr Smith will team teach PE for

the remainder of this year. This is an exciting change and will allow the PE curriculum to

be explored in new and innovative ways.

Finally we bid farewell to Mr V. Mr V’s last day was our last day of lockdown. Staff and students at school that

day bid farewell to Mr V wearing a different type of mask.

Sonya Wilson

Acting Principal

A NOTE TO SALUTE MR RON VAN DEN BRANDE CONGRATULATIONS, Mr V on a professional lifetime of ‘giving’ to others – giving to others cognitively, socially, emotionally, artistically, creatively and comically. This is the voice of Mrs H, Glenyce, G, Gee Gee, Glenny, Noo Noo! This article is to celebrate your grand achievements, and wish you all the best for your next chapter – that page is finally turning! You will take with you, the symbolism of Wynnum State School’s school logo. Our beautiful Wynnum State School students wear your last professional page every day on their school uniform! You will be always be part of the culture of Wynnum State School. You were instrumental in its design, build, creation and synergy. You started your teaching career on 28 January 1986, at Centenary Heights State High School (Toowoomba). I think meeting Majella (your wife), played a part in your decision to return to study. Hans, the Sausage King, lost one of his best employees whilst the students of Queensland gained a talented, sincere, genuine and clever, ‘thinking’ teacher. After a few drives up and down the range (to meet Majella), you received a transfer to Bray Park SHS, then to Wynnum North State High School (on the same grounds as our proud place of Wynnum State School). Here, your initiatives with performing arts came further to the fore, sharing your skills with so many. Those earlier days - designing, innovating, making, painting sets and stage fit outs, assisting with costumes, creating the ambience with lighting, sound and exploring those special effects certainly gave the grounding for your desire to be inspirational, imaginative and innovative in design and performance, in all school settings.

Wynnum State School is so privileged to have you as part of its community. All of the school’s events, assemblies and functions were thoroughly planned and executed, considering all these features. Planned and executed to be authentic, symbolic and as real life as possible for the audience – interactive, engaging, persuasive, entertaining, and informing for memory retention for all! A testimony to the care and respect you give to students is evidenced in the number of Wynnum State School parents, who you taught at high school, who have shared storylines of your compassion, empathy, humour, and regard for people. A 2021 February parent message highlights your genuine kindness - ‘Witnessing our Mr V sheltering parents and children, one by one, under his umbrella and walking them to their cars during a rain storm one morning after drop off time. He was soaked through but still had a smile.’ No act of kindness however small is ever wasted. Your stints at Hilliard, Ormiston, Russell Island, Capalaba (Head of Student Behaviour Management) State Schools led to us working closely together in professional development for all staff in the Bayside, through the BLDN (Bayside Learning and Development Network). One phone call led to an acting role at Wynnum North State School. Then our united, unique venture commenced - design and create a ‘new’ school, and at the same time the mothballing of Wynnum Central, Lindum and Wynnum North a year later. On so many occasions, collecting our hard hats and work boots, going from Tingal Hill to Boxgrove Avenue, we would inform Mrs van Fleet that we would be only an hour….. always had trouble with time! There are so many tales to tell – insufficient space in the newsletter to commence. However, what is unequivocally easy to share is your loyalty to ethics, your gentlemanly ways, your creative thought, your willingness to see things from another perspective, your quick wittedness, your commitment to students, staff and parents, your honesty, reliability, persistence and ability to find humour. When reflecting on the Habits of Mind, Art L Costa would be most impressed! You should be very proud of your achievements working for Education Queensland. I am honoured to have worked with you. Now it’s time. The school community sends you thousands of heartfelt thanks, and wish you all the best for your next adventure! You certainly have upheld and lived the school’s motto of Believing, Achieving and Succeeding. Ronnie, this is it! I salute you, with such appreciation and gratitude. Your legacy to the Wynnum State School community will live on through dance, drama, music, humour, performances and the respect given to each child through all those little acts of kindness, by us all. Your commitment to growing the dispositions for students to be worthy citizens – creative, democratic, healthy, informed and eco – must live on forever as these with the Habits of Mind make a rich, inclusive and intelligent society, working together for the betterment of all. Thank you, thank you and many cheers Glenyce Hadfield

ANZAC DAY CEREMONY – Friday 23 April A whole school assembly will be held to commemorate ANZAC Day 2021. With

COVID restrictions still in place we will have to limit the number of visitors for this

event. Email invitations have been sent to families of students performing in the

ceremony. This will be the first time, since the start of COVID that parents have

been able to see the band and choir perform.

Senior students will represent Wynnum State School at community events to commemorate ANZAC Day. Like

Wynnum State School these events have been modified to reflect COVID guidelines.

- Brisbane City event will be attended by Mrs Turvey and the School Captains

- Wynnum RSL will host a ceremony on Sunday 9.30-10.30am. Senior students and staff members will

represent Wynnum State School. There will be no march this year.

ANZAC Day Performance

Students in the Senior Choir and Senior Band will be performing at the School's ANZAC Day Service this

Friday 23 April at 9:00am. Students will need to arrive at 7:45am at the MEGA Central in order to help set up

and rehearse for the performance. An email went out to respective parents this week inviting one parent to

attend (due to COVID restrictions). Please make sure you RSVP to the Eventbrite link emailed in order for us

to trace who will be attending.

WHY COMMEMORATE ANZAC DAY?

There is a big difference between a celebration and a commemoration. ANZAC Day is all about Remembrance.

We remember those who gave their lives so that we could live ours. We remember the families who have lost

sons, daughters, husbands and wives. We remember those who have sacrificed so much. We remember hard

times that have led to good.

HISTORY OF ANZAC DAY POPPIES

Today, the red poppy is recognised worldwide as a symbol of respect for

the immense contribution and loss of life of those who have served in wars

of the past and those who continue to serve today. Initially gaining

recognition after Canadian John McCrae penned the famous poem, ‘In

Flanders Fields’, the poppy is now synonymous with both Remembrance

Day (November 11th) and ANZAC Day (April 25th).

Across Australia and New Zealand, the poppy is most commonly seen worn

over the hearts of people in these countries on ANZAC DAY each year.

(Familiesmagazine.com.au).

Our Student Council will be facilitating making poppies in the library on

Wednesday and Thursday this week. We would like to see many students

wearing this symbol of remembrance at our ANZAC Day service on Friday

morning.

HABITS OF MIND This fortnight’s Habit of mind is Striving for Accuracy. Check it again! Always doing your best. Setting high standards. Checking and finding ways to improve constantly.

LOVING LITERATURE FROM MS CONNELL This newsletter we are going to link the Habit of Mind of Striving for Accuracy with a

fun interactive book called Something is Not Quite Right. Pause on each page to see

how many things in the picture are "not quite right". Spoiler alert: at the 3.30 mark,

there is a page that shows you all the mistakes so you can check how accurate you

were able to be. What a fun way to practice this important Habit together. Enjoy!

TRAFFIC UPDATE

We are aware of traffic congestion on Boxgrove Ave which is backing up onto Wynnum Road as cars wait to

gain access to the school drop off and pick up zone each weekday afternoon. To address this issue,

consultation occurred with Councilor Peter Cummings Thursday 25 March. Solutions were considered and

now Council is proposing to install ‘No Parking 2:30-3:30pm School days only’ outside #95 & #99 Boxgrove

Ave (see diagram). The proposed restriction will improve the school afternoon pick up period, by having

parents queue along the kerbside whilst maintaining through

traffic along Boxgrove Ave. No Parking zones are similar to

Loading Zones, where vehicles may stop to drop-off or pick up

goods or passengers. The driver must remain within three

metres of the vehicle while stopped in the zone. Council plans

to have the signs installed by May 10 allowing time for the

school to communicate changes to families.

We thank Councillor Peter Cummings and Brisbane City

Council for their advice and assistance in rectifying this issue.

We will continue to monitor traffic conditions and gather parent

feedback.

NEW OUTDOOR LEARNING AREA

Construction has commenced on the outdoor learning area adjacent to H Block. During the holidays the safety

fencing was erected, trees were removed and the concrete base broken up ready for foundations to be laid.

This project is expected to be completed by the end of Term 2, so watch this space.

NAPLAN

Students in Years 3 and 5 will again participate in NAPLAN testing from 11-13 May. NAPLAN is not a test of

content. Instead, it tests skills in literacy and numeracy that are developed over time through the school

curriculum. These tests contain questions similar to those that occur in regular classroom learning and

assessment.

The best way you can help your child prepare for NAPLAN is to reassure them that NAPLAN tests are just one

part of their school program, and to encourage them to simply do the best they can on the day.

More information about NAPLAN can be found on the NAPLAN homepage using the link or by contacting your

child’s teacher.

NAPLAN 2021 Equating Study Wynnum State School has been selected by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) to participate in this year’s NAPLAN 2021 Equating Study. The NAPLAN 2021 Equating Study is being held in approximately 408 schools across Australia. One Year 3 and one Year 5 class will complete the test. This year 3AC and 5HC have been selected to complete the test on Thursday 6 May 2021. Read the NAPLAN 2021 Equating Study privacy notice.

ICAS Wynnum State School is participating in the ICAS Assessments again in 2021. ICAS is developed by the

University of New South Wales Global, with over 35 years’ experience in educational assessments. ICAS is

designed to target students’ higher order thinking and problem solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science,

Writing, Spelling and Digital Technologies. Each assessment celebrates students’ accomplishments by

providing opportunities for recognition. Students will receive a printed certificate and an online result report. Top

performers are eligible for medals and are invited to attend special award ceremonies to have their academic

excellence publicly recognised.

ICAS Assessments are online. This week, an email has been sent inviting students to nominate for 2021

competitions. The assessments are suitable for students wishing to extend themselves academically and take

up the personal challenge of competing in an international assessment. If you do not receive an email and are

interested in your child participating, contact your child’s Homeroom Teacher to discuss nomination and

participation. All nominations and payments will need to be finalised by 22 July 2021.

2021 Competition Timeline

Subject Cost per test Sitting times will be in the week of

ICAS Writing $19.50 9 - 13 August

ICAS Digital Technologies $15.50 9 – 13 August

ICAS English $15.50 16 – 20 August

ICAS Science $15.50 23 – 27 August

ICAS Spelling Bee $15.50 23 – 27 August

ICAS Mathematics $15.50 30 August – 3 September

LIBRARY BUZZ We know reading forms a great bonding experience with a

child. A book can initiate many conversations and a pathway

to the rest of the world. This ANZAC day take the time to read

an ANZAC story with your child recounting stories of very

brave men, women and animals at war. Gentle stories and

picture books help get the message across without being too

upsetting and scary. We encourage parents to speak to their

children regarding the significance of the ANZAC Day and the

importance of the children showing appropriate respect and

s o l e m n i t y w h i l e p a r t i c i p a t i n g i n t h i s e v e n t .

ANZAC books for young children. All these books are available on youtube too. The Australian War Memorial

website also offers some great free resources to look at how Australians remember: the symbols, ceremonies,

objects and stories that tell us about the past.

Keep the ANZAC spirit alive however you choose to mark this national day of remembrance.

SCIENCE NEWS with Mrs Crowe During the last week of Term 1, Year One scientists were

contacted by a famous local palaeontologist to assist in

their current research program. The task for our

Wynnum Warrior scientific teams was to excavate a dig

site in our playground sandpit and search for possible

fossilised dinosaur eggs. Our young palaeontologists

were each issued with a specialised set of tools during

their dig so as not to disturb or damage any fossils found. Intense concentration

was in action as our 1CL palaeontologists were the first team to begin the

investigation of the designated area. Exclamations of Wonderment and Awe

resounded through the scientific research team as each fossil was discovered.

When a team member found a fossilised egg, they were required to carefully

remove it from the dig site and use one of their specialised tools to brush any

debris from the fossil surface. A cross section of the fossil was then performed to

observe the interior of the fossil. A photographic record and measurements were

taken for the research program. Examples of some of the

photographic records and team research are included here for

your perusal.

Our 1CL palaeontology team were highly commended by the

Chief Palaeontology Supervisor for Thinking Interdependently,

Gathering Data through all Senses, Persisting and Taking

Responsible Risks. Each team contributed to a very successful

research effort which discovered and recorded 24 fossil eggs

containing a range of dinosaur types!

Unfortunately, due to Covid Lockdown

restrictions that occurred at that time, the

Chief Palaeontology Supervisor had to

temporarily close down the dig site. The

remaining Year One Palaeontology teams

from 1EF,1LB,1SC,1CS and 1PC were

immediately informed that their research

would recommence in Week One, Term Two. Further discoveries will be detailed in upcoming Science News

when all teams complete their allocated research. A fossil discovery video will also be made for your viewing!

While the Year Ones were busy searching for fossils at the dig site our Prep scientists were very eager to receive

a Science Surprise to celebrate and thank them all for being so Open to Continuous Learning each week of

Term One as they studied Biological Sciences. Every Prep scientist received an ‘EGGHEAD’ to keep and care

for and to observe the seed ‘hair’ growth over the holidays. Every ‘EGGHEAD’ had a different face too! Prep RM

then began creating, imagining and innovating with their eggheads, integrating Science with Art to make little

bunnies! A big Wynnum WOW to Prep RM!

Chemical Sciences will be studied through a variety of hands-on investigations in the Science Lab with Prep

to Year Three classes this term.

Prep: What’s it Made of? (observable properties of materials)

Year One: Spot the Difference (investigating change in everyday materials)

Year Two: All Mixed Up (combining substances and materials)

Year Three: Melting Moments (solids and liquids; melting process)

WONDERMENT AND AWE Some of our budding scientists sharing an amazing Carpet Python skin found at their

Poppy's house. Lucky Poppy found the owner of the skin too!

MATHS MATTERS with Mrs Lentakis (Numeracy Coach) and Mrs van Fleet (Maths Intervention Teacher)

What’s going on: It’s about time! As they grow, children become increasingly aware of reading and describing the passage of time and how elapsed time can be measured. Initially they describe the passage of time associated to regularly occurring events, such as having breakfast in the morning, going to school on weekdays and being five years old. Tell me more about: Historically we have moved from measuring time by the sun, moon

and the stars using sundials and astrological measurements to using mechanical analogue

and electric digital clocks, stop watches and other timing mechanisms. Time is measured

in two ways, as the precise moment that an event occurred and as a duration or time

interval for an event.

What causes students difficulties telling the time? Children can find reading time tricky! This might be distinguishing between the minute and hour hands on an analogue clock. There may be confusion with concepts such as before (to) and after (past); difficulty identifying smaller units of time such as 1:01, 1:02, 1:03; or struggles with language such as ‘clockwise’ and ‘quarter-past’.

What strategies can help? A useful skill for children to get under their belt in order to tell the time is knowing the five times tables. Without it, anything beyond the o'clocks becomes challenging. Choose clocks and watches faces with numbers that are large and clearly visible with hands that are different sizes. Watches with both analogue and digital can help.

COVID Update Parents are welcome back following our COVID Lockdown of Term 1. Parents are welcome to return to

assemblies. By now, I realise we are all accustomed to the new COVID normal so here’s just a gentle reminder

to:

• stay home and keep students home if unwell • if you have any COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild, get tested • stay 1.5 metres away from other people or wear a mask when you are required to do so • wash your hands with soap and water, or hand sanitiser • avoid congregating in large groups • contact your doctor for advice.

Thanks again for your resilience and adaptability as we respond to each COVID situation.
