Kinder to Year 6 Assembly - Thursday, 26 September, 2019 at 2.00pm
The following students will be receiving an award at our Assembly this Thursday, 12 September. This Assembly will be run by the Penguins class.
Far South Coast Student Gardeners Convergence
On Friday, 20th September Naomi Steffan, Claire Raabe and Lily Mahony travelled down to Bega to participate in the far South Coast School Gardens Convergence. We took part in three workshops that were really fun and engaging.
The first activity we worked on was building a chicken coop out of gravel, mud, straw and cement. We placed balls of mud on top of a concrete and bamboo frame. We had a great time piling mud on the concrete blocks and when we had finished we were all covered in mud.
The second activity we did was the Regional Seed Saving Program. We had to scrape seeds off a sunflower and put them in bags. After that we matched seeds up to the correct plants, and to finish off the activity we made paper pulp bowls which were then left to dry.
In the third activity we made a wicking-bed garden. We poured in gravel on the bottom, and then sand, and finally soil. To finish the garden off we planted some basil and coriander then we covered the plants with straw.
The day was really fun and we hope to bring some of the ideas we learnt there back to Narooma Public School.

Scholastic Book Club The Book Club is now only available online to students at Narooma Public School. Brochures will still be distributed to the students, but orders will need to be placed online.
It is easy to order. The Book Club LOOP platform for parents allows you to pay by credit card. Your child’s order is submitted directly to school safe and sound and the books will be delivered to class.
You can place your child’s order at scholastic.com.au/LOOP or using the LOOP app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
We want your lids
A “Lids 4 kids” collection point is now in our front foyer.
Lids that are accepted are plastic bottle top lids from soft drink and milk/juice cartons/bottles. They are generally up the size of a credit card (or smaller) and too small to be recycled as a stand-alone hard plastic item in our kerbside collection.
To drop off…They need to be clean and have the white waxy liner (if it has one) flicked out of it (this can be done easily with a pen or fingernail). Once the lids get to Envision, they are colour sorted and made into pellets that are fed into a 3D printer that produces prosthetic limbs for children.
