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.

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 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!

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.
