Well the icy poles have certainly been popular this week with the Grade 6 students making
plenty of sales to help their fundraising effort. The sunshine certainly helped to boost sales!
Remember all profits go to the Grade 6 Graduation Dinner and also helps provide decorations
to make the evening special. Sales will continue over the coming weeks – regularly on
Fridays and on any forecasted day over 25 degrees. The students have been great
remembering to put the papers and sticks in the bin and keep our playground tidy.
As part of our planning for 2013, forms were distributed to all families about who is returning
to Glenroy Central next year. If you have still not returned your form please make sure that
you do so as soon as possible so that we can make sure your children are included on our lists.
If you have a prep student for next year or you know someone who does and have still not completed enrolment
forms, it is important that you do this now – we have already had our Prep Information Evening and transition
sessions begin next week. These sessions are really important and will give you and your child the opportunity
to meet their teacher and to find out some things about our programs.
Coming up on November 11th
is Remembrance Day - the day many countries
around the world remember those who have sacrificed their lives for their country
in war. The poppy flower is the symbol of Remembrance Day and to support the
RSL we are selling poppies, pins and wrist bands at the office. See below for prices.
Congratulations to those students who won prizes in our Nude Food Day – Lehana Grant, Omar Nachar,
Maryclaire Giuliano, Aisha Khoder, Rheanne Zayat and Minaal Shahid. Thank you to everyone for supporting
this Juniour School Council activity by making an effort to cut down on packaged and processed food in
lunches. This important initiative highlights the need to provide our children with healthy food that is good for
growing bodies and brains as well as help to protect our environment from an overload of litter.
The back gate to the school is beginning to be used by some families which is great. The proper gate and fence
will be put up during Cup Week. As we are still trying to get into a routine of locking and opening this gate at
set times, if you get to the gate at the end of the day and it has not been unlocked feel free to give the office a
ring and we will come and open it!
Have a good weekend.

RETURN TO SCHOOL ADVICE: Thank you to all the families who have
returned these forms. If you have not returned your form yet please do so ASAP as it is vital we receive
this information.
HELPING YOUR CHILD TO READ AND WRITE Questions play an important part of establishing how
much your child understands from what they have read.
There are different types of questions which show various
levels of understanding.
These types of questions require your child to refer back to the text
that they have been reading;
What are the character’s names?
What was the setting?
What did each character do?
What happened at the beginning, middle and end of the text?
MATHS TIPS FOR PARENTS: There are lots of activities you can do at home, using everyday items, to help explore maths
with your child. Below are a few ideas:
Play family games like chess or checkers to add excitement
to maths activities. Play games in the car such as maths
bingo or adding licence plate numbers. Lots of board games
need maths such as ‘Junior Monopoly’ or card games such
as ‘Uno’.
This week’s puzzle: 8 monkeys take 8 minutes to eat 8 bananas. How many minutes would it take 4 monkeys to eat 4 bananas?
Maths joke of the week: Why did the maths book look so sad? Because it had so many problems.
Answer to last puzzle: 987654
