South KALG circus
Year 1 Room 1 read the book called ‘The Very Ugly Bug’. It
was an enjoyable love story with lots of describing words to
describe The Very Ugly Bug. The students then completed a
directed drawing which now have been displayed in the class-
room to bring a smile to their faces!

From the Principal
Dear Parents/Caregivers
This year’s Student Counsellors have begun the year demonstrating excellent organization and responsibility. Every day
our School Flags have been raised and lowered on time and the Front Desk Monitors are mature and conscientious.
They did an excellent job at their first assembly and I have been very proud of them. Well done, all of you!
Next Friday, March 12, is our Faction Swimming Carnival at Oasis. All students from Year 4 to 6 in Swimming Level 5
and above can participate in the carnival. Students in Swimming Levels 5 and 6 can participate in the 25 metre races
and Level 7 and above can swim in the 50 metre races. Only students who swim in the 50 metre races will be eligible for
Championship Points. As always we are seeking parent helpers for the carnival, so if you are able to come along and
help on the day, please contact the school on 90925800 or email Ms Wight on Bianca.Wight@education.wa.edu.au.
March 15 to 19 is Harmony week. Our focus this year is Kindness. On Friday 19 March, all students are requested to
wear something orange to celebrate Harmony Day.
Over the last few weeks the Pre-primary and Year 1 students have been participating in On Entry Testing. The testing
looks at a broad range of Mathematics, Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening skills. On Entry Testing for
Pre-primary students is compulsory so all children across the state in Pre-primary are tested. Over the years a number
of worrying tendencies have been arising with the assessment of younger children and most of these seem to be coming
from the influence of technology. Many of you ask about how you can help your children at home. The most important
things that you can be doing at home to support your young child’s learning are:
1. Reading books together
2. Playing games and doing things together
3. Having dinner at the table and talking about the day
4. Encouraging your child to play with other children outside, and
5. Giving your child jobs to do around the house.

Healthy snacks
Our top recommendations for healthy lunchbox snacks include natural yoghurt topped with frozen berries, grainy crackers and
sliced cheese, air popped popcorn, a hardboiled egg or some wholemeal fruit bread. You can also make savoury muffins or
pikelets packed with lots of extra vegies – plus grating carrot or zucchini into the sweet ones is another tasty trick. Our healthy
muffin recipes tick lots of boxes as they stay fresh across the day, can be made big or small and are easy for little hands to
hold.
Try these healthy ideas for delicious additions to any lunchbox:
Vegie pikelets
Bean balls
Corn bread
Sweet potato cheese muffins
Zucchini and corn fritters
Mini quiches

Community News
South Kalgoorlie Primary School is pleased to announce that as a
part of our Wastewise Schools Program we are continuing to be a
collection point for Precious Plastic Margaret River.
is back!!! Most plastic tops and lids are made from types of plastic that
are relatively easy to recycle
As a part of our Wastewise program we are once again Tops and lids are also very a common single use product, and
collecting for this very worthwhile cause. people use lots of them so there is a good supply available.
Please save your bread tags and send Tops and lids come in a variety of bright colours which are fun for
PPMR to work with
them along to school with your child.
Bottle tops are rarely recycled in Australia. Most recycling com-
panies are not equipped or do not want to spend the extra
cost of handling these small bits of plastic—they aim for large
bulk of easy to-to-process plastics such as bottles, and the bottle
tops usually end up in landfill.
Plant pot made from
recycled bottle tops.
