Working Bee—Reminder—Saturday 28th October Don’t forget our Working Bee on Saturday 28th October between 9.00am-12.00pm. Maintaining the school grounds is a big job and there is always something to be done. If you are able to help, even for an hour, it would be greatly appreciated. Woolworths Earn and Learn A Big thank you to all the families and friends who brought in stickers for the Woolworths Earn and Learn Program. The school earned a fantastic 37,600 points, which has enabled us to purchase equipment and supplies in the areas of Numeracy, Music and Welfare. Melbourne Cup Day Tuesday 7th November is Melbourne Cup Day which is a Public Holiday. Students are not required at school on this day, however, Monday is a normal school day. Moving Schools in 2018? As Term 4 is now well underway, schools across the State are making arrangements for the 2018 school year. When planning for the next year schools have to take into account the number of anticipated students, so they can prepare for appropriate class structures and make staff decisions for the up coming year. If you anticipate leaving Karingal P.S. at the end of the year, could you please fill in the form at the bottom of this page and return to the school office as soon as possible. It would also be wise to make contact with the new school and arrange for enrolment in 2018. This gives both schools the opportunity to make appropriate class structure and staff and staffing decisions. Karen Luff Principal

You may have seen the name "FlexiBuzz" and noticed a change in logo when you visit your Tiqbiz app or desktop site. This is the result of the recent purchase of Tiqbiz by InLoop Pty Ltd, an Australian tech company with leading brands including Flexischools. We will be continuing to use the app to communicate with you and FlexiBuzz will retain all of the features that were available with Tiqbiz. To ensure you have the most up-to-date version of the app we would recommend running the app update as soon as possible.

Don’t forget that Tuesday is School Banking day and students should bring in their weekly deposit.

WRITERS OF THE WEEK

THE JOURNEY OF MR WOLF BY EVIE 1/2A

One misty dark rainy day. There was a hairy wolf. He was wearing a fancy tie. He was also wearing a green shirt. He had pointy sharp fangs and dirty claws. He had to stay under a tree because it was pouring down rain. He was looking for shiny diamonds and emeralds. First Mr wolf needed a map “where could I find a map“ said Mr Wolf. “I know in a chest at the sandy dusty beach” Mr Wolf . So Mr Wolf started walking down the road. He had a little sleep on the way. “few!” said Mr Wolf. He woke up and started walking. I made it. “ARGGG! Oh it’s only a squirrel. ”or more. He raced quickly back to the forest. “Oh silly me he said to himself. So he ran as fast as he could back to the beach. There were no squirrels. So he pulled out his spade and dug and dug the whole beach up. Next beach maybe. “A CHEST A MAP!” it said to go back to the forest. To the freezing cold north pole. I had to walk and walk and walk. I found an x. X marks the spot. I pulled out my spade and dug and dug. Wait this map says I have to go to New York. It is busy in new York.” IT IS ON THE STATUE OF LIBERTY !” “on the head”. Said Mr Wolf. It took him a few days to climb it. DRINK-ING EATING SLEEPING. Chapter 2 I found the brown dusty chest with nothing just stinky rubbish. Wait there is a map oh my gosh it is in Tokyo in the sushi shop. It was just about to close so I said stop can I have a look in your shop. So he had a search high and low. I found it under a table it was full of diamonds and emeralds so he went to the airport and flew back to the forest. Chapter 3 The next morning I wanted to bake a cake, here is the recipe. Milk, eggs, flour, sugar and my special ingredi-ent chocolate lets bake it in the oven. It is ready ting ting. Yum but it is still hot. It is my party today. Chapter 4 Hi every one welcome and greetings to each and every one of you. Let’s start the party there is cake, chicken and cupcakes. Well that sounds delightful. Of course said Mr Wolf. Enjoy!
