OUR KITCHEN
CLASSROOM RULES
Yesterday the Year P,1,2,3,4
students cooked a scrumptious
lunch of lasagne and garlic bread.
This was followed by a decadent
dessert of banana splits. All
students had the opportunity to
construct their fare from scratch.
We used our iPads to keep a
photo record of the steps
involved in making the lasagne
and the older students created a
book explaining the procedure.
Lunch was a formal affair with
serviettes, cutlery and a chance
to practise our table manners.
Daria, James and Brodey are keen to win this lot - but just like everybody else they
will have to buy a ticket and then just hope!
DEATH BY CHOCOLATE
Our hamper has been filled with lots of yummy treats. Raffle tickets
have been attached to this week’s newsletter. If anyone wishes to sell
raffle tickets at their place of work or community group, we can
supply a flyer and additional tickets. All funds raised will go towards
subsidising our whole school camp in term 4.
ASANTI DANCE GROUP
Next Wednesday, March 26, the whole school will be attending a
performance in Cohuna by the Ansanti Dance Group. The group
will demonstrate African Dance and music and the students will be
given a chance to participate. We will be attending with other
district schools. The performance begins at 9.15am, therefore it is
necessary for us to leave Torrumbarry by 8.30am. We ask that all
students be at the Torrumbarry Roadhouse by 8.20am. The bus will
not be making the usual morning run. If families experience
difficulties with the change in these travel arrangements please
contact the school ASAP. The bus will run as normal in the
afternoon. Students will need their usual snacks, drinks and lunch.

FOOTY TIPPING
Due to the early start to the season, or our late notice- we have decided
to give punters a reprieve for the first part of round one. All entrants will
receive a score of four for last week’s games allowing those who forgot or
didn’t know about the competition time to enter in time for this week’s
matches. Ensure that your selections for the remaining five games of
round one are in by Thursday. See attached flyer for details on how to
enter. Prize money will be dependent upon the number of entries
received and will be announced in next weeks newsletter.
YEAR 5/6 CAMP
Yesterday our Year Five and Six students and Miss Michell left for their
three day adventure to the big smoke. News has it that roast chicken and
vegetables was on the menu for last night’s dinner followed by an
adventure to Eureka Skydeck. We can’t wait to hear about all of their
adventures when they return on Wednesday evening.

COLOUR DAY
Last Thursday we had a
Colour Day where
students were asked to
wear their favourite
colour. In the afternoon
all students participated
in a range of team
challenges. Maddy’s
main challenge was
being able to hold
onto a balloon
without popping it!
Thank you to Mr T

fun afternoon.

cool off with.
