What exciting news we had at Ungarie Central School on Tuesday. Our girls’ basketball team travelled to Orange to play Calare Public School in the final of the Western Area basketball competition. Calare Public School defeated us in the final of the Western Area netball competition earlier this year so we were really looking for a win this time. The girls played strong all game and defeated Calare PS 43-11. A huge thank you to Justine Henley for her outstanding coaching over the year. The girls will travel to Bathurst on Monday to play in the NSW PSSA Basketball finals. They are one of the top 16 teams in the state. What an amazing effort! I look forward to cheering for the girls on Monday. We’ve had such a busy week this week, with many visitors to the school. Yesterday we had Lisa from the FRS here to work with some of our families. Nicola Johnston, our School Counsellor was also at school working with teachers and students. Sally Russell from the Lake Cowal Conservation Centre was also here yesterday with Fizzics Education, working with Years 7-10, The robotics was definitely a hit with the students! Yesterday Bryson Snowden, a Rugby League development officer, was at school to finish off the Backyard League program. Bryson worked with students from K-10, teaching students the importance of team work. Today Libby Trembath, Senior Pathways Officer, is spending time with Mrs Noble and Mr Dodhy. They will be going over our documentation to prepare us for our VET (Vocational Education and Training) audit next term. Phew, what a week! Tomorrow, our primary boys cricket team were heading to Dubbo to play the next round in the Western Area cricket knockout. With the predicted rain and the already wet conditions this game has been postponed. We will notify parents as soon as a new date is worked out. Until next week!

Students dressed in yellow and could purchase patty cakes and homemade lemonade. 7/8 SCIENCE Left: Jai Thompson Above: Michelene Izzard Below: Kadee Gerard- Scali Forces inquiry based learning/project: Students have been using an outline to guide the direction of their learning but have been given the option of choosing their learning activities in this unit. Activities students have chosen to pursue lately have included investigating the effects of bringing like and different poles of magnets together under a layer of iron filings, so they could see the magnetic field and what was happening beyond what the naked eye could see. Many students used the Van der Graff generator to experiment with electrostatic forces - we've discovered that Molly, Michelene and Kadee's hair can well and truly be raised by the static electricity generated! 7/8 ENGLISH Recently Year 7/8 completed an assessment task focussing on drama. They dressed as fairytale characters and acted out a ‘Mystery Party’ (similar to ‘Host a Murder’) to determine who had kidnapped Cinderella and Prince Charming on their wedding day! The students had been given clues to provide them with information they could use to answer questions from the other characters to determine the culprit. Rapunzel with the guilty character!

SYDNEY RECORDER TRIP Day 1: Tuesday 23rd August The Sydney Recorder team assembled at UCS on Tuesday morning, ready to head to Sydney on the school bus with Jason at the helm. The 8am departure was delayed a little when Potters’ dog Coota decided he was coming too and refused to be coaxed off the bus! Our first stop was for morning tea at the park in Harden. Many thanks to the mothers who made goodies for us to take on the trip; we were still enjoying Vanessa Williams’ slices on the way home! Lunch was at the park in Goulburn where the students (and Mark) had a run on the play equipment. Sammy had an upset tummy later in the trip, but we’re sure it had nothing to do with the multiple goes she had on the spinning wheel! We arrived at the YHA in the Rocks at about 3.30 with no trouble despite the need to take a new route because George Street was blocked off in places. Well done to Jason and his navigators, Mark and Jen! After settling into our rooms Jason drove us over to Darling Harbour and we had an early tea at the food court before walking over to the Lyric Theatre to see “Singing in the Rain”. Our seats were much closer to the stage than last year and everyone enjoyed the costumes, singing and dancing and the truly awful voice of Lina Lamont! The rain scenes in particular were fantastic, and the “wet zone” extended far beyond the first few rows! After grabbing an icecream we walked back to the YHA and turned in for the night. Day 2: Wednesday 24th August After breakfast (7.30 on both days) we walked up to Centrepoint Tower, purchasing some overpriced plastic ponchos on the way as it began to rain, continuing all day. After 5 trips, this is the first time that we have had rain, so we can’t complain too much. Besides, the ponchos looked pretty special! The rain cleared enough for us to be able to get a good view of the closer parts of Sydney from the tower and Mrs Mason and Noah even performed “Pink Panther” for the staff while waiting for the return elevator. We had lunch in the building before heading back down to the Opera House in the rain, ponchos on and heads down! Checking in at the Opera House, the Descant 1s sat with Mrs Mason, and the Descant 2s sat with Mrs Wilson and rehearsed for 2 hours. We also got to hear the choral group rehearsing during our break. Back out into the rain and we trudged back to the YHA, got ready for the evening concert and had tea at the Orient Hotel. While we were there, the rain began to bucket down, and we got our umbrellas out for the walk to the Opera House. The concert went very well and we rewarded ourselves with the (now) traditional gelatos on the way back to the YHA. Day 3: Thursday 25th August The sun came out today (of course!) and we were able to pack up and be out of the hostel shortly after 8.30. With everyone a little tired (the football and netball finals on the weekend plus our trip have made for a big week) we decided to forgo the markets and stop in Goulburn for lunch, trying out several of the local eateries. A quick pit stop at the Harden park and a couple of stops in West Wyalong and we were back at UCS by about 4.30. Congratulations to all our students on their excellent behaviour, and many thanks to the parents who accompanied us. It was an excellent excursion and our students played well on the night. We have been asked to perform at the Art Exhibition, so students need to keep rehearsing their pieces (we will be able to use our books on the day) and we will continue to meet on Tuesday lunchtimes to practise. Mrs Mason and Mrs Wilson View from the top of the YHA. SYDNEY RECORDER TRIP Abby Wason, Regan Hukins. Hugh Williams, Noah Bryant, Sammy Rutledge, Jordyn Worley, Georgia Wilson and Tess Henley outside the Opera House and in front of the Harbour Bridge on a rainy night in Sydney.

Descant 2 group in their seats. ‘HABIT OF MIND’ AND SPORT AWARD RECIPIENTS FOR WEEK 7 t SCHOOL HAPPENINGS UCS supports World Duchenne Awareness Day 16 UCS YUM students Jack Wason, Isabelle Archibald and Jared Robb along with their teacher Mrs McClintock used the alternative timetable on Monday 5th September to their advantage and spent the day proof reading and making corrections to their cookbook. Year 9/10 Food Technology were amazed to learn that you could peel a tomato! They them made ‘homemade’ pasta sauce using fresh tomatoes and tinned tomatoes. These sauces were compared with a bottled pasta sauce. The fresh tomato sauce came out the winner. With limited students at school due to water cutting roads on Monday 5th Sept, K-6 students used problem solving skills to build structures to support an egg. They could only use items found in the playground and then the structure was dropped from the top of a ladder to test its durability. PRIMARY GIRLS BASKETBALL What a spectacular game of basketball on Tuesday 6th September! It was well worth getting up early and traveling the distance to Orange to play Calare in the Western Region grand-final. Ungarie came out all guns blazing right from the first jump! They certainly made everyone on the sidelines sit up and take note, that's for sure. If our coffee didn't wake the Ungarie mums up, the girl’s great start definitely did! At the end of the first quarter the score was 12-4 Ungarie. The girls continued to drive the ball into attack down the court and feed the ball into the key when the second quarter commenced. All team members displayed some great defence, guarding their opposition, intercepting when needed and rebounding exceptionally well. Every player contributed. It was wonderful to watch how the girls all worked out that they had a job to do and how they were going to rely on each other to get that job done. What clever thinking girls. Ella McRae, Tess Henley, Abby Wason, Georgia Wilson, Ella Payne, Hayley Wallace and Sammy Rutledge are to be commended on their wonderful display of sportsmanship and behaviour. Congratulations and well done girls. You are the Western Region champions. The final score was Ungarie 43 – Calare 11. A huge thank you to Justine Henley. We are so lucky to have you as our coach, your time, effort and expertise are greatly appreciated. A special thank you to Emma for scoring and for everyone that assisted with travel. The girls will now travel to Bathurst on Monday 12th September for the PSSA State Basketball Finals. We wish you all the very best girls.

CULTURAL PERFORMANCE Matthew Doyle visited Ungarie on Wednesday 24th August.

ISSUE 4: SEPTEMBER 2016 Dear parents, carers and community of Ungarie Central School Welcome to Issue 4 of the Bite! In this issue we will look at the role that Grains and Cereals play in our diet and their importance for our bodies to function properly. Issue 4: September 2016 Grains and Cereals make up one of the five food groups. The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend eating a wide variety of mostly whole grain and/or high fibre varieties of grains and cereal. It is important to try and limited refined grains as these types of grains are commonly used in processed foods like biscuits and cakes. Processed foods have large amounts of added sugars, fats and often salt and generally have no nutritional value. So try and choose wholemeal or wholegrain breads and cereals whenever you can. Siobhain Howard Project Officer Food Security Grains and Cereals Why are they good for us? Cereals and grains have carbohydrates in them – Carbohydrates main job is to provide energy to feed our brains and fuel our bodies. Grains are an essential part of a healthy diet, providing nutrients and energy for a child’s normal growth and development. Cereals and grains also contain protein, a wide range of minerals and vitamins and are a good source of fibre. Fibre helps move food easily through your intestines and helps to prevent constipation.
