GILLIESTON PUBLIC SCHOOL
From the Principal **********
AYE AYE CAPTAIN
As Term 1 is almost to an end, we reflect on our achievements so far this year. Our focus
on an uninterrupted first two hours of learning has supported our children in making
gains in literacy and numeracy. We have progress graphs to share with the P&C at the
meeting on Thursday 27 April. Have a happy and safe break. I’ll look forward to seeing lots
of students wearing their uniform proudly at the ANZAC Day march on 25 April.
K. Johanson, principal.
A huge ‘Thank You’ goes to Maitland Men’s Shed for creating Captain Gillo’s boat. They
have been working on this for months. It has five purpose made steering wheels to ensure
all children in the boat can be steering it full steam ahead!

GUPPIES
FANTAILS
Classroom Capers ************************
Please check for head lice regularly.
Last week everyone took home a sheet with high
frequency words and the Jolly Phonics sounds. Ask
us to show you the Jolly Phonic action when we do
these sounds with you at home. When we do Jolly
Phonics in class we also focus on the correct letter
formation of each sound. The Fantails enjoy doing
Jolly Phonics activities on the Smartboard and
listening to the Jolly Jingles.
Meryl Swanson is running an Easter colouring in competition for local Kindergarten
students. The Guppies and Fantails have been busy colouring in masterpieces to send
away. They have been mailed and will be displayed in her office window. If you are in the
Raymond Terrace area please have a look!

CLOWNFISH
The Clownfish have been learning about
money, and one of our Maths activities is
putting together a shop to experiment with
finding the right money, and in some cases,
giving change. Talking to children about
using money in real life, like grocery
shopping, helps them to make better sense
of what they are learning in the classroom.
We love art in the Barramundi classroom, and this week we have been improving our art
skills through singing and drawing.

HAMMERHEADS
SHARKS
Get started on your Easter hat, not long now until our parade.
Find us on
Being an adult is better than being a
child.
This statement sparked some great
argumentative discussion in our
classroom with all of the Sharks
producing high quality persuasive texts
in response. So what would you rather
be; an adult or a child?
Let’s create a cookbook so we can better
understand how to navigate different text
types. Hammerheads had to ensure they
included key navigational items in their
cookbook such as a contents, glossary, index
and introduction so anyone who reads it can
find anything they want quickly and easily.

Did you know? Children can catch worms from not washing their hands with soap!
FUN FRIENDS FAMILY CHECK IN
Our focus over the last few weeks
has been changing our red thoughts
to green thoughts. This could be
sometime when we have faced a
challenge. Instead of thinking it is
too hard, we keep trying and stay
positive. Can your child tell you when
they have had a green thought?
This week our PBL focus is ‘speak and act nicely.’ The Blue tangs
(Mrs Ison) showed us how to do that by showing respect to the
teacher and their peers during class time. They demonstrated what
our PBL looks like. Well done Blue tangs!
Our PBL focus for this week is:
Speak and Act Nicely…….

EASTER/HARMONY DAY This year our Easter Hat Parade and Harmony Day celebrations will be held on Friday 7th April. It’s time to start creating and preparing your Easter Hats at home! Parents are welcome to join the children in the classrooms for Harmony Day activities as well as the Easter Hat Parade. Harmony Day Activities 12:30—1:30pm Harmony Day celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. It is a day for all Australians to embrace cultural diversity and to share what we have in common. The central message for Harmony Day is that ‘everyone belongs’, reinforcing the importance of inclusiveness to all Australians. All students will participate in Harmony Day Activities in classrooms during the middle session. To celebrate Harmony Day, we encourage all students to wear orange on the day. Easter Hat Parade 2:15 to 3:05pm The Easter Hat Parade will be in the COLA. All students are welcome to participate in the parade with a hat that they have decorated at home. Be as creative and colourful as you can! Parents and carers are able to bring their child’s hat to school before school (where it will be placed in a safe place) or around 2pm ready for the parade.
IN THE EVENT OF WET WEATHER CHILDREN WILL PARADE THEIR HATS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS
Easter Raffle (Guessing Competition) The Student Representative Council (SRC) will be running an Easter Raffle that will be drawn at the end of the parade. They would like students to donate chocolate eggs to fill the baskets for prizes. There is an ice block prize for the class who brings in the most eggs! The raffle tickets have been sent home with students. They are 50c per ticket/$5 a book. It will be drawn at the end of the Easter Hat Parade.
