Dear Makybe Rise Families

Here at Makybe Rise we look to celebrate the

achievements and contribu�ons of all our

children in many different ways.

Our recent athle�cs carnivals have been

wonderful opportuni�es for our community

to come together and cheer on our kids as

they give their races and team events a red

hot go!

Thank you so much to all our families who

have been able to join us at our carnivals.

Your cheering and support has really made

each day and we appreciate you!

I would like to thank Mr Rijnhart and Miss

Ranger for their wonderful organisa�on of

these events. It is a real feat to seamlessly

coordinate the par�cipa�on of nearly 1000

students.

Thank you also to all our staff who threw

themselves into the spirit of each day and

went the extra mile to make sure that every

child was able to join in, have fun and

experience success.

We are very proud of commission earned for

our school by our families through the

awesome support of our recent Book Fair.

This year’s Book Fair smashed all previous

records and earned our library just under

$4000 to spend on new books for our

children! Thank you to Mrs McCorriston and

Mrs Presco1 for all your work!

Tickets to listen to Dr Judith Locke speaking

about raising capable and confident children

are going fast! Tickets are free, however they

must be booked online at

www.ouronlinecanteen.com.au .

Tickets are limited so get in quickly to reserve

your seat.

11 September 2015

This year we will be running ‘The Great Makybe Rise Spelling Bee’

as part of Student Success Week in Week 10. It will consist of three

rounds which will result in one of our students winning the �tle of

Spelling Bee Champion.

Students from Year One - Six will par�cipate in Round One in their

classrooms. The classroom winner will go through to Round Two

to find a year level winner. The year level winner will then

compete in the final round where we will find out who the Spelling

Bee Champion for 2015 will be.

The dates for each round are:

Round One (In class) - Monday, 21 September

Round Two (Year Groups) - Thursday, 24 September

Round Three (Whole School) - Friday, 25 September

Research has shown that students who demonstrate grit, set goals

and take part in deliberate prac�ce were the most successful in

Na�onal Spelling Bees in America. We are encouraging students to

prac�se their spelling at home, set goals for what they would like

to achieve and persevere to reach their goals.

The website below has some ac�vi�es for spelling prac�ce at

The children of Room 39 have been having fun exploring numbers and different mathema�cal problems.

Each child completed a Figure Me Out poster using addi�on, subtrac�on, division and mul�plica�on facts to

represent their age, how many pets they have, how many people in their family and their house numbers. The

children had so much fun comple�ng these posters and experimen�ng with numbers.

Room 39 Mathema1cal Masterpieces

The Great Makybe Rise Spelling Bee Room 23 We’re Mul1plying! This term in Room 23 we have been learning about Mul�plica�on

and Division in Maths.

We have been experimen�ng with different ways of represen�ng

mul�plica�on equa�ons. We began by exploring how we could

make a quilt using many small pieces of material. We realised that

to make a quilt, we needed some knowledge of mul�plica�on as

each row needed the same number of material pieces. We started

exploring how we could make different shaped quilts using the

same number of material pieces. We made short, wide quilts and

long, thin quilts. We then applied this same knowledge and we

represented mul�plica�on equa�ons using an array.

Instead of saying ‘�mes’, we found that we could say ‘groups of’ or

‘rows of’ and this helped us to visualise the problem. We certainly

are mathema�cians in Room 23!

Woolworths Earn & Learn has now finished for

2015 so a big THANK YOU to everyone that has

supported our school!

We’re now at the important stage of the program where the S�cker

Sheets are collected and lodged as our Earn & Learn claim. We will

then be able to get new educa�onal equipment for our school. The

more we collect, the more we can redeem. So this week, please

send in your Woolworths Earn & Learn S�cker Sheets and any loose

Earn & Learn s�ckers you may have. They can be dropped at the

administra�on office. Every li1le bit helps!

Woolworths Earn & Learn

On Thursday evening, 20

August, our Senior Choir, ‘The

Makybe Rising Stars,’ performed

at the Mandurah Performing

Arts Centre as part of the 2015 Western Australian

Government Schools Music Society (WAGSMS) Concert

Series.

Thirty Six Year 3 - 6 students rehearsed every Tuesday

lunch�me all year and gave up considerable �me in an

intensive rehearsal period over the last week, to perfect

a challenging and exci�ng Musical Theatre rou�ne

called ‘Go Go Joseph.’ Their commitment and effort paid

off with an outstanding performance in front of an

audience of 750 people. I would like to congratulate

them on their successful performance. We look forward

to showing the school community our rou�ne during

Commit to Student Success Week in Week 10 this term.

I would also like to acknowledge Talon Williams and

Addi Gardiner who willingly took on the role of hosts for

the en�re evening's event. They prac�ced their public

speaking skills and it sure did show when they

presented absolutely beau�fully, and were very

entertaining on the night. Congratula�ons Talon and

Addi!

A very big thank you from all the Senior Choir to Mrs

Vrossink who also assisted over the past couple of

weeks to help our students do the best job they could

do! Thank you also to the parents and families who

supported the students in their rehearsing and

preparedness for the event.
