On the 8th of May, years three to six (and children turning eight) all walked to Steel
Park for the school Cross Country.
When we arrived, the houses all sat in our designated spots under the shade of a tree.
We started off with the house chants. All of the house captains (which I am) stood up
and led the chants. Cooks won the chants, whilst Georges and Wolli tied for second.
After the chants, the races started. The 12/13 year olds raced first, and we worked our
way to the lower ages. Wolli won the majority of the races, but Cooks and Georges
won some of the races too.
After all of the races were finished, we packed up and walked back to school.
Everybody cheered for every race, and there was never a dull moment, and everybody
had fun. All in all, the Cross Country was a success. by Hailie 5/6K

Top 10 Things that
you should not give
my Mum as a present. Spanish Magic Show
10. Taxes.
9. Something related to Minecraft.
Like a statue of Steve.
8. A venus fly trap.
7. A card with nothing in it.
6. A present that looks like it has
something in it, but it doesn’t.
5. A flower that stinks and attracts
flies.
4. A prop for a horror show.
(E.g. A fake bloody hand.)
3. A fake snake. (My mum hate’s
snakes, even fake ones!)
2. Chocolate that has been half
eaten or fake.
1 and a half. A candle (My mom
hate’s candles, because that what
I give her almost every mothers
day.)
And finally…
The ten dollars that my mum
gave me. Also making it look like
a present, but when she opens it
up, she finds out that I didn’t buy
anything and she freaks out.

KB enjoyed a lovely visit from
Ari Kai's Grandma Carol. She
entertained us with stories
and songs that she has enjoyed
sharing with children in Canada
where she lives. We certainly
loved having her with us and look
forward to seeing her again

Emoticon symbols
On Friday afternoons for a period of 40 minutes, all Kindergarten
children share together in a session of play called “Golden Time”.
This allows children from across the three classes to engage in play
activities with their peers who are not necessarily in their own
class. Activities range from “dressing-up” and role play, gross motor
activities involving hoops, balance beams and balls, to quieter
play with Lego, play-dough and puzzles. It is a delightful way to
conclude the week and a positive way of encouraging children to
broaden their circle of friends.
Year 3 visited Sydney Uni for Compass
Program Open University Day
Emoticon symbols are made by
typing a combination of symbols
into the computer. Emoticons are
very easy to make and there are
many of them. They are used to
express emotion. To make one,
first put in the eyes, then a mouth.
Then put them together, eyes first
and then the mouth. In the end, it
will come up like one of these:
:) happy
:] another version of happy
:B another version of happy but
with teeth.
=) extremely happy
:( sad
:[ another version of sad.
=( extremely sad
;) one eyed happy
:|neutral emotion or a random face
>:( angry
<=( extremely angry
>:) revenge
:\ confused
=0 very scared
:0 shout or scared
:+ I can’t say anything, my mouth
is sewed up
:# I very sure I can’t say anything,
my mouth is stitched up
:O slap me, I must be dreaming
I hope this has given you
information about emoticons.

Every lunch time would you like to be bored and tired of playing the
same game every day. Well my friends and I all think exactly that.
In my opinion, old play equipment has been locked up in the kindy
triangle. I mean why have play equipment when no one can use it.
It’s been there for years and no one has even touched it. It’s just
sitting in the rain or sun every single day.
Most people would agree that, it would be fun, enjoyful and exciting
for most students especially for kindys year ones and most other year
twos. Also when students who regularly come back to class stressed
or board would not be because there’s something new to play with.

PLAY EQUIPMENT FOR MWPS
Dear Ms Ling,
page
Finally, students like my friends wouldn’t play fighting games and
tackling games like football and wrestling (because my friends play
wrestling sometimes).
Therefore that’s why MWPS desperately needs play equipment for
the students at play time
Yours sincerely,
Kiwan
Dear Miss Ling,
I believe that our computer room should be open every lunch and recess.
My first reason is that sometimes kids have projects and research something, but
they won’t get to do it because the library is closed. How would you feel if you
really needed to use the computer but the library was closed?
My next reason is that some kids need to check their email because there might
be a very important message from their mum and dad. I think you would agree
with this.
That’s why we should leave our computer room open.
Printable planners for homework and study
School A to Z has printable monthly planners which include
school holidays and the numbered weeks of each Term (for
example Monday 19 May is the start of Week 4, in Term 2). Print
one for each child to stick on the fridge or on their noticeboards.
It’s a great way to teach them how scheduling their time means
they’ll be able to fit in the fun activities as well as their other
commitments and responsibilities. Download at http://bit.ly/

Is your child’s backpack damaging their spine?
A recent Australian study has shown that approximately 25% of
school-aged children suffer from back and/or neck pain at any one
time. It’s believed to be due to a combination of factors such as
poor posture, everyday load carrying and the use of computers.
The Children’s Hospital at Westmead suggests young people should:
– not carry more than 10% of their body weight
– use a backpack with the straps over both shoulders and a waist
strap
– load gear so that the heavier objects are nearer to the spine, with
the lighter objects towards the front of the pack
– lift a backpack properly – bend at the knees and lift the pack with
both hands

Dear Miss Ling,
I strongly believe we need iMacs in the school
computer room for these reasons.
To begin with, you can have cool apps to download like
math games, plane games, block games and more.
SECONDLY, iMacs are better than windows 7 because it
has iMovie, iPhoto and more.
Lastly, it can charge an iPad, iPhone and mobile
phones, it has 4 rectangle ports which are charging
areas making life easier.
To sum up, now you know what an iMac/MacBook is,
so please buy them (but don’t let the kids drag app
icons because they will be deleted).

Do you have any neighbours with young children who might benefit from the programs at Connect Marrickville? If
they don’t speak much English, or don’t have family around, or seem to be struggling in any way, chances are that they
may be isolated and would benefit from our English Classes, Mothers Group, Playgroups or Courses.
On the 6th of May, stage 3 went on an excursion to visit the
Botanic Gardens. We firstly marked the roll then walked all the
way to the Dulwich Hill train station. After we got there we
each got assigned a number and had to call it in order to check
everyone was there. Then we got on and headed for St. James.
After we arrived we quickly went to the botanic gardens past the
art gallery. Then when we arrived each class got a botanic garden
teacher. We after had recess then we went with our teachers to
explore the botanic gardens.
5/6K and I went in a room with our botanic garden teacher and
learnt about the equator and climate of a rainforest. We then
went outside to look at various numbers of plants. After all of
that we had lunch then headed to the train station to catch a train
back to school. Finally we arrived and went to school just in time
for recess. by Afiz

to the Botanical Gardens because
we were learning about rainforests

lots of fun and we learnt many new
things.
After we got back Miss Ling told us

and that she has never seen a school

Volunteers in Canteen always needed
We need more volunteers to help make coffee in
the mornings at the canteen. One of our previous
helpers has moved and we need someone to
take their place, we need an extra helper on
Wednesdays and we need to train someone who
can help out on Fridays for when Melanie Stopic
goes on holidays in Term 3 and 4. No experience
is necessary – we can train you. It’s a great way
to meet new parents and the teachers at the
school. You are usually required from about 9:3010:30 or 11:00. If you can help out in any of the
following slots please let Melanie Stopic know
([email protected])
Mondays – working with Softly Dunstan
Wednesday – working with James Goodman
Fridays – working with Melanie Stopic, Chandra
Attanyake and Ariyani Sulawo.
Second Hand Clothing Stall
Thanks to Helen for organising the past second
hand clothing stall, we raised $71. We appreciate
donations of good quality uniforms to sell on and
raise money for the P&C.
The planning team really need some more people
to help to organise the different elements of the
event; food, entertainment etc.
We are hoping all our
Marrickville West mothers
are feeling thoroughly
spoiled after the amazing
Mothers Day stall the P&C
arranged this year. We
want to say a HUGE thank
you to all the helpers. We
can’t name you all, such a
mammoth effort!! From all
the fantastic and generous
donations received in the
leadup, and the helpers in
the setup the day before
and then all those amazing
Wrapping Mammas on the
day of the stall, plus the
patient cashiers too. The kids
clearly loved having such a
wide and varied selection of
goods to choose from, and we
only hope this can continue
to grow year by year. We raised
over $1200 on the day, thanks
mostly to the donated goods.
So thank you again to all those
who pitched in over the past
weeks to make this the success
it was.
Our long running Film Night
has been transformed into
a once-a-term animation
festival. The first one, held
in Term 1, was a huge
success featuring ‘Room
On The Broom’ by Julia Donaldson
and ‘Partysaurus Rex’ by Pixar, plus
a selection of animated shorts from
around the world.
Huge thanks to the O’Grady’s for all
their help in the set-up and also running
the canteen, also thanks to Shelley the
Machine, for being an octopus in the
canteen.

Student Reports
Dear Parents,
Assessment and Reporting is an integral
part of the teaching-learning cycle. Our
school provides written reports to parents
twice per year and invites families to attend
school for a formal parent-teacher meeting
at the end of Term 2.
It should be remembered that education is
a partnership between school and home.
Parents are encouraged to contact their
child’s teacher at any time during the year
if they have questions or information
that might enhance the capacity of this
partnership to support their child to achieve
their personal best.
Students are assessed in their academic and
social development through formal tests,
assignments and teacher observations of
classroom learning and behaviour. Student
Reports will show your child’s progress in
relation to the expected syllabus outcomes
and objectives for their Grade and/or Stage.
Student Reports will be sent home the
week beginning 23rd June. Parent Teacher
Meetings have also been scheduled for that
week. More information about Reports and
Parent-Teacher meetings will be sent home
soon.
May the Fourth be

The fourth of May is the official

As part of the speaking and listening program, students in K-2 have been
learning how to prepare and present a speech in class. All students at
Marrickville West are expected to write a speech at home that will be presented
to their class in Week 4 (week beginning Monday 19th May). Three students
will then be chosen to represent their grade at our K-2 Public Speaking
Showcase on Thursday 29th May after Morning assembly. Students’ speeches
will be judged by an independent adjudicator and parents will be invited to
attend.
All students who present a speech to their class will receive a participation certificate,
students who are selected by their class teacher to present their speech to their stage will
receive a grade finalist certificate, students who represent their grade at the showcase will
receive a finalist certificate and winners will receive a Public Speaking trophy.
K-2 SPEECH REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES

Kindergarten deliver a ½ - 1 minute prepared speech
Years 1 & 2 deliver a 1-2 minute prepared speech

Kids, social media and privacy
Regardless of your child’s age, the world may already know a lot
more about them than you suspect. According to recent research:
92% of children under the age of 2 have a digital shadow ( – it
starts with proud parents posting newborn baby photos on
Facebook or Instagram)
a quarter of Australian children 8 – 12 years old use Facebook,
but the minimum age for a user is 13 years.
more than 20 per cent of tweens publish photos of themselves on
Instagram
young people 14 – 19 have an average of 453 fans, friends or
followers on social media.
2014 Privacy Awareness Week, 4 – 10 May 2014, is a good
time to review your family’s privacy settings and discuss online
security. You’ll find lots of practical information and resources to
share with your kids at www.ipc.nsw.gov.au


An interesting beginning to the speech that grabs the attention of the audience and sets the
tone for the body of the speech. The speaker should not introduce him/herself at the
beginning of the speech. He/she should not say “Good Morning” etc. The opening statement
should be the actual beginning of the speech.
Interesting ideas and appropriate language for the age and maturity of the child in the main
body of the speech. Some facts, examples and opinions should be included here.
A strong and obvious close to the speech that ties all ideas together and leaves a lasting
impression. Do not finish the speech with words such as “the end” or even “thank you”.
A natural delivery without an abundance of hand gestures or dramatic movements
A clear and confident voice that is easy for the audience to hear
A smile and real interest in the topic being delivered
All children MUST use palm cards that are made from thin cardboard. They must be
numbered and no bigger than the child’s hand. The child should refer to them for cues but
should NOT READ the speech from them. The palm cards may have the entire speech
written on them or only a few words or pictures that give the speaker the cue for the speech.
Make the cards to suit the needs of your child. Again, the child should NOT READ the
speech from them.
The use of a mind map may help you start the brainstorming to get the ideas flowing. Your
child has been involved in these activities in the classroom. Ideas can then be expanded
upon to start building the speech.

SRC Report:
Happy Award of
Awesomeness
The SRC recently
introduced a new
award called the Happy
Award of Awesomeness.
Anya, the inventor and
designer of the Happy
Award is going to tell
you a bit about the
award:
“The Happy Award of
Awesomeness started as class compliments
at the end of the day in 3/4M, and is now
one of the most popular awards in the
entire school. I think this award is amazing,
and I can see it really improving the future
of our school,” said Anya proudly. The SRC
agree very much with Anya and it is now
all over MWPS. All the SRC are giving
out two happy awards a week, so good
luck to everyone and the SRC hope to give
everyone a Happy Award by the end of the
year.
By Anya, Olive and Wavey

Every year, families throughout
New South Wales invite students
from around the world into their
homes, and gain a taste of
another culture. The StrupitsHaddrick family from NSW share
their joys of hostng Belgian
student Magali, as they farewell
her back home to Belgium:
“Magali has been a delight. She
has fted in with our family so
well and we have loved every
minute we have had together.
She feels like a member of our
family and in our hearts she will
always be.
The best part has just been
sharing company across cultures and languages and adaptng to new relatonships.
While we have had some wonderful trips together, it is the tme at home doing
everyday things which has been so
enjoyable and rewarding. We will defnitely keep in touch.
Thank you sharing your life with us Magali. Travel safely and enjoy re-unitng with
your family and friends in Belgium. We look forward to the next tme we meet.”

 The adjudicators will make their decision based on the manner, matter and method the contestants employ
in presenting their speeches. They will expect contestants to be confident and engaging speakers.
 The prepared speeches need to show an understanding of multiculturalism, and be well developed and
interesting. Contestants are also expected to demonstrate a balance of personal opinion and information in
their speeches, as well as a balance of humour and sincerity.

English refresher from
School A to Z on Homonyms
Homonyms (also known as homographs)
are words that are identical in
pronunciation and spelling but have
different meanings.
They can be nouns, adjectives or verbs. The
context gives them their meaning.
Ask your child for an example, like this
one:
I prefer a fine tip on my pen.
He gave me a tip for the Melbourne Cup.
Don’t tip the water on the floor.
You gave the waiter a generous tip.
