Caragabal Public School Newsletter for Term 4, Week 6

From Miss Sanderson

Week 6 at Caragabal Public School has been a little quieter, with some of our students unwell.

We wish them a speedy recovery and look forward to having them back with us soon– they are greatly missed.

Students have been busy completing assessments this week, allowing us to measure their fantastic growth over the past semester.

I’m thrilled to see how much progress they’ve made and the wonderful achievements they’re showcasing.

During morning sessions, we’ve been exploring the themes of motivation and confidence, discussing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and strategies to build self-belief. It’s always a delight to hear the students share their thoughts and insights – their understanding of themselves is both impressive and inspiring.

In Mathematics, K-1 students have started learning about graphs and data, and in Geography, they’re investigating the weather.

Meanwhile, in English, we’re nearing the conclusion of our topic on pollution, exploring its impact and ways we can help prevent it.

The 2-6 class has produced outstanding work on the Thylacine, which is proudly displayed in their classroom and the office. It’s been fascinating to read their research and creative pieces – well done, everyone!

A special invitation: Please join us for our final Assembly of the year on Friday, 6th December, to celebrate the wonderful achievements of our students.

We look forward to seeing you there and wrapping up the year together as a school community.

School Captain's report

This week we had a very small class in the 2-6 room. Only six of us although so far we have had Alice come back.

We have been playing a game called 44 homes at lunch time. It is a game that everyone can agree on well.

Also a reminder if you go to Quandialla swim club, there is a planking competition. If you win you get a dollar of spending money at the canteen. Any challengers?

In English for the 2-6 class we are writing a historical account (factual text) on the Tassie Tiger (Thylacine).

We are under the pump a little bit but I am sure when it's finished, it’ll be a masterpiece! Eddie and I are also writing another one in our English enrichment class.

I am doing WWII and Eddie is doing one on space shuttles.
