Mr Burkitt’s Message

It was great to return back to school this morning after some running repairs. Fortunately I am on the mend and healing well.

Friday night proved to be all about Bonville Public School at the Coffs Harbour Annual garden club awards night. Michael Pountney and all of the chil-dren who work in our gardens must take much of the credit. Bonville School received first place in ‘best school vegetable garden’, first place in ‘best native school garden’ and second place

in the “Curly Kale” growing competition.

Today we began top dressing part of our school oval. We are hoping to sow grass seed in the bare patches and overall level out the children’s playing area. Once this area is completed we will then move to another section.

Congratulations to all the students who faced their fears and delivered speeches to their class last week. Most adults, when asked what do they fear most, would reply ‘Public Speaking’. Fortunately, Bonville students get this opportunity at a young age. Good luck to those students who were select-ed to deliver their speech to the whole school.

This Thursday, 27th September, the school social

will be held in the CWA Hall. The Social will com-mence at 5:30pm and conclude at 7:00pm. Please drop your children at the door and enjoy some time to yourself as the staff entertain them. The cost will be $5.00 entry which will also include a popper and chips. All proceeds will support the Year 5 and 6 Sydney Excursion.

A sausage sizzle will be available at 5:00pm before the social commences. This will be set up around the side of the CWA Hall.

This Friday will mark the end of Term 3 and the students will have a 2 week vacation. The school will be closed during this time however our General Assistant, Mr Miller, will be on site on Mondays and Tuesday mornings. Our cleaners, Alex and Colin will also be here in the second week. If you are driving past please keep an eye out for anything suspicious and if you see anything please report it. We hope that your children have a safe and enjoy-able break and are ready to return to school on Monday 15

th October.

Thank you. Have a great week. Dean Burkitt

Coding Club: Last week all students across the

school were invited to attend lunchtime coding

club sessions where they were introduced to

some of our new robots and digital technology

devices. The robots are on loan to the school as

part of a STEM share project to enable all

students the opportunity to develop creative,

critical, analytical and computational thinking

processes to give them the collaborative and

problem solving skills required to prosper in life

as well as chosen career paths into the

future. Students will interact with the robots and

devices in hands on experiments to 'discover by

doing' and will test their own solutions and

strategies to solve learning challenges and

projects. Coding Club will continue in term

4 each Monday for K-2 and Thursday for years

3-6.

Woolworths Discovery Excursion: On the

20th September 14 students went to Toormina

Gardens for a Woolworths Discovery Tour. We

met a lady named Marnie. We all stood inside

two cool rooms, a freezer and all of the

departments. We also went into the bakery to

see how they form the shapes of the dough. We

walked through the deli and looked at what was

in the windows. Marnie took us to the lunch

room. She had two whole plates of fruit and

vegetables and a tray full of watermelon. She

showed us the loading dock and the food bin.

Fruit & Vege Month: As Fruit and Vegtember

comes to a close and the data collected

throughout the month is collated, it is clear to

see an increased awareness around the

positive outcomes of healthy

eating. Congratulations to our winning class

2/3C with an impressive 72% of students

bringing in both fresh fruit and vegetables every

day. They won a master class with Mrs

Osterloh, creating raw, nutritious carrot cake

balls, a completely different way of incorporating

fresh vegetables into the lunch box. While all

our class averages were still above state

average there is certainly room for

improvement, and by creating healthy eating

habits now we are supporting our students in

developing into healthy active adults.

Here is the recipe we followed to make our

yummy carrot cake balls:

3 medium - carrot

6 medium - Dates, Medjool

1/2 cup - pecans, chopped(optional we

replaced ours with desiccated coconut)

1 cup - oats, dry

1 teaspoon - cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon - nutmeg

1/2 teasp[oon - ginger, ground

1/8 teasponn - sea salt
