Term 3 already looks jam packed with opportunities and great chances for learning. As you may have gathered from the app notification we have started our Grade 3-4 Technology challenge with 5 of our students. They are being stretched with a technology challenge each week. We hope to publish some of their solutions to the challenges over the coming weeks. Their ability to work collaboratively as a team, take on a variety of roles, problem solve and communicate effectively is great to see. We are hopeful that our French lessons will commence this week and we are continuing our work with Cressy to provide diverse learning opportunities for our students. There will be a large number of our Grade 5 and 6 students trialling for various Country Gold teams next Friday and we wish them all the best with their endeavours. It is great that so many of them are willing to put themselves forward and test their skills and sportsmanship against others. I am really proud of them for doing this as often it is easier to avoid disappointment than to challenge yourself. Change seems to be an increasing aspect of the world we live in and therefore it is critical that we equip our children with the skills to manage and cope with this when it happens. The first thing we need to do is to ensure that we support children in understanding what the change is. We can help by talking things through with them, identifying any problems and talking about possible solutions to their concerns. These experiences and the associated learning help to build resilience and grit. We cant afford to keep them sheltered. We need to challenge them and allow them to make mistakes. We need to talk with and support them and continue to encourage them to “have a go”. This is how strength of character and independence emerges. Remember that you can adapt to anything! Regards Colin

From the Principal’s desk…..
Welcome back to everyone. Term 3 already looks jam packed with opportunities and great chances for learning. As you may have gathered
from the app notification we have started our Grade 3-4 Technology
challenge with 5 of our students. They are being stretched with a
technology challenge each week. We hope to publish some of their
solutions to the challenges over the coming weeks. Their ability to work
collaboratively as a team, take on a variety of roles, problem solve and
communicate effectively is great to see. We are hopeful that our French
lessons will commence this week and we are continuing our work with Cressy to provide diverse learning opportunities for our students.
There will be a large number of our Grade 5 and 6 students trialling for
various Country Gold teams next Friday and we wish them all the best
with their endeavours. It is great that so many of them are willing to put
themselves forward and test their skills and sportsmanship against
others. I am really proud of them for doing this as often it is easier to avoid disappointment than to challenge yourself.
Change seems to be an increasing aspect of the world we live in and
therefore it is critical that we equip our children with the skills to manage
and cope with this when it happens. The first thing we need to do is to
ensure that we support children in understanding what the change is. We
can help by talking things through with them, identifying any problems and
talking about possible solutions to their concerns. These experiences and the associated learning help to build resilience and grit.
We cant afford to keep them sheltered. We need to challenge them and

Woolworths Earn & Learn 2017
Bracknell Primary is participating again this year
in the Woolworths Earn & Learn program.
Through this program we will be able to get new
educational resources for our school.
From Wednesday 26th July to Tuesday 19th September or while
stock lasts, we are collecting Woolworths Earn & Learn
Stickers. You will get one Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker for
every $10 spent (conditions apply). Place the Woolworths Earn &
Learn Sticker onto a Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker Sheet and
when it’s complete, the Sticker Sheet can be dropped into the
Collection Box here at the school or at the Bracknell Primary
School box at Woolworths, Prospect Vale. Thank you for your
support.
How many books have you read? Have you collected
your prize after reading 10? The challenge finishes on
Friday, 18 August so keep reading and keep collecting
prizes until they run out.
Speech Pathology Kindergarten Screening
As part of the school speech pathology service, all children in kindergarten will be screened
for speech and language difficulties during Term 3. The screening takes approximately 15
minutes per child and will screen receptive language skills (ability to understand information
and instructions), expressive language skills (use of words and sentences), and the child’s
ability to say sounds in words.
Following the screening, parents will receive a report advising whether a full assessment of
speech and language is recommended. If you do not want your child to be screened, please
advise your child’s kindergarten teacher by 11th August, 2017.
The SRC would like to say a huge
thank you for getting your jeans on
for day.
We raised $110.80 for the Children’s
Medical Research Institute.
