Kiwi Competition Results
The results and certificates for Kiwi Competition will be sent home later this week. We will be acknowledging all the students that sat the tests during this Friday's assembly, and in particular those students who have achieved a merit or above in the tests.
Skip-a-thon
We have our annual Skip-a-thon next week! We have been practicing hard at school and on Friday 21 next week we will be skipping non-stop for 20 minutes. We are ready for the challenge! Hopefully we have lots of sponsors for this event! Every dollar raised goes towards new PE equipment for our sports shed! This will also be a house day so the children are encouraged to wear their house colours.
Speeches
Students have been working hard on their chosen category. They will continue to work on their presentations in class with support from their teachers and peers this week.
It is our expectation that they will present to their team during week 9, Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th September (Week 9).
Four presentations from each category will be selected for the senior school finals, which will be held on Monday 24th September (Week 10).
The overall winner of each category will go forward to the Inner City Schools Zone final which will be held in Week 1 of Term 4, Thursday 18th October.
2018 Bayfield Book Bonanza!
It’s that time of year again and we are holding the Annual Book Bonanza. This is run over two weeks (weeks 9 and 10) and we have some exciting events during this time.
We have the Book Parade 10am on Thursday 20th September in the hall. During this week, we have senior and junior classes getting together for Buddy Reading and each team will be read to by a “Mystery Reader”.
There will also be a Literacy Quiz run during this time.
Do not forget the book poster competition also. This is due by September 24th.
Grandparents and Special Friend’s Day
This will be held on Friday 28 September - the last day of term. This is always a special day for the children and we are looking forward to it. We will give the children the opportunity to make an invitation for their grandparents or special friend next week.
Inspirational People
Calling all architects, coders, creatives, animators, creative geniuses – absolutely anybody! Please come into our learning space to educate us about what you do to make our world a better place / what your role is in the community. We have had two incredibly inspirational parents come in and share their journeys with us. We want to expose the children to the endless open opportunities that are out there, so they are prepared for our future.
We have a number of children wishing to design their own web pages as part of their Genius Hour so if you have any expertise in this field it would be wonderful if you could spare some time to come and help us point these children in the right direction.
