Around the World with Room 23 Here are some our takes on our assembly: Our assembly was about an adventure book called

‘Around the World in 80 Days’, by Jules Verne. It’sabout a man named Phileas Fogg who bets half hisfortune with his friends Bryke Phileas is a man of routine. He goes to his ReformClub and makes a bet that he could travel aroundthe world in 80 days. Daisy Our assembly was about a story in 1872 so we hadto dress up as in the olden days. Brad My favourite part of the assembly was the dances.

Izabella I enjoyed all of the dances. The French dancebecause it was elegant and graceful. The Mexican

dance was entertaining and fun. The Jamaicandance because the audience enjoyed the boysdancing down the aisle and around Mason. Hannah I just loved how the costumes matched the dance.Being in the French dance was an achievement.

Emily

My favourite bit was when everyone was dancingbecause they all had different moves. Olivia My favourite part was dancing in the French dance.I think the assembly was creative. Leah Mine was dancing in the Mexico dance because I

got to dance. Kohen My favourite part was all of it because it was all sogood. I love how everyone joined in and did a

dance. Jemma

Mine was the Mexican and the Jamaican because Ilike Mexican and I know that Bob Marley wrote andsang the Jamaican song.

ElliI liked the bit where the girls did the Mexican HatDance. Gabby My favourite was when I was in the French dance. Itwas fun but I was nervous too. Amy Mine was when I played the maracas. Shianne I was second in line in the French song. I was so, soexcited! Grace My favourite was the French song because I had to

dance with a boy and I have never danced with aboy before. Mia I loved the dances. It was fun and happy and cooland I was really scared. Mikayla I was in the Jamaican dance and I got to dance upand down the aisle.

Marley I dressed up as Bob Marley and the part I loved waswhen I danced. Mason All the speakers were great at speaking. On the dayeverybody was pretty relaxed. Ella B

Student Absence from School

Students are required to attend school on a regular basis to gain the maximum benefit from schooling.

Research has established that every day counts and that there is no safe level of absence from school. Forexample, a student who is absent from school one day a fortnight will, by Year 9, have missed the equivalent ofone year of schooling. Ensuring parents are aware of the importance of regular school attendance is a currentpriority in Department of Education schools. For this reason, I request that parents who will be taking their childout of school for holidays contact both the class teacher and myself to advise of the absence. Parents withchildren who regularly miss school due to appointments in class time should also advise the school. Studentabsences can only be recorded as authorized if notification from a parent has occurred and therefore it isimportant that the school is aware of the reason for your child missing school.

Late notes should be obtained from the office for any students arriving after the start of school which is 8.50.

In 2016 RAC is giving five schools $5,000 to spend on resources. For a chance to win, simply join the RAC Little LegendsClub!

The RAC Little Legends Club is a free and exciting new program designed to help your child learn all about bicycle,pedestrian and passenger safety. Learning is fun and it's also aligned to the Australian curriculum!

Once they join kids will get their very own membership pack and access to great benefits and discounts on heaps of funstuff!

It is just a matter of signing in online .

CONTRIBUTIONS AND CHARGES We look forward to your support in paying these voluntary contributions – Kindergarten $50 Pre-Primary $60

Years 1-

6 $60

These funds will be used to provide additional resources for all students. An outline of possible charges for each year level was provided at the end of last year. Please use this toanticipate educational expenses for the year. Charges will be collected at the time the particular event, such asan excursion, occurs. If you have any queries on contributions and charges, please contact the office. Payment can be made bycash, cheque or bank deposit (BSB 016-510 AC 340823089). We do not have EFTPOS facilities.

Last year Yakamia PS had a contribution rate was 55%. I’m sure we can improve in 2016. After all $60 per year is only $15 per term or $1.50 per week! Less than half a cup of coffee!!!

And you can………. Win back your Voluntary Contributions!

Pay your child’s school fees before the end of Term 1 and you will go into the raffle to win back the money!

Three prizes are up for grabs. One entry is given to each child who has paid. (i.e. a family with 3 childrenattending YPS, will have 3 chances to win).

Thank you to the P&C for generously sponsoring this idea.

Library Book Change Timetable 2016 (Above)

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The attached Library Book Change timetable helps remind students when to Return library items, and

to have ready a Library book change bag (a plastic bag is also okay).

Please display the timetable at home for easy access.

Although students can book out books each school day we do ask, that on their bookchange day,

they return all books.If they have not finished reading a book they are able to return and borrow the book out again.

Some other important notes

* Can you remind your children about preventing water and food accidents whilst books are

in bags…

* How to take care of books around the home…and where to place books so they do not get lost in

the home.

The above helps prevent books, CDs etc.., from becoming lost, and also having to pay for lost books.

Sometimes, a lost book decides to come out of hiding, (could have been under the Tonka toy, …

in the toy box, … under the bed, …in the car,…in the spare bedroom at Nanna’s place! ).

At these times we will return in full any replacement money that has been paid…

as long as the book is still in reasonable condition.

Thank you for your ongoing support for your Child’s Library.

Mr Kosovich and Mrs Sandilands
