Harmony Day
Today we celebrated Harmony Day. Harmony Day is celebrated
annually on March 21st coinciding with the United Nations
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
The continuing message of Harmony Day is 'Everyone Belongs'. It
is about community participation, inclusiveness, celebrating
diversity, respect and belonging. On this day students are
encouraged to wear orange (traditionally, orange signifies social
communication and meaningful conversations but also relates to the
freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect). By
participating in Harmony Day activities, children learn and
understand how all Australians, regardless of their background
contribute equally to our vibrant nation.

Science and Engineering Challange
The Science and Engineering Challenge was an awesome excursion.
The purple team had a great time together; we all worked on the
activities well and as a team.
Our challenges were very difficult, especially the bridge. The
purple team’s other activity was called Max Power. That was the
most fun!
There were other teams doing activities such as String along,
Mars buggy, Build It, Light Comms, Earthquake and Get A Grip. It
was great to catch up with friends from other schools during our
break as well.
The schools in attendance were Calrossy, Tamworth West, Oxley
Vale and Tamworth Public School who had two teams.

NAPLANLiteracy and Numeracy
NAPLAN assesses literacy and numeracy – important skills that
each child needs to succeed in school and life. The NAPLAN tests
are designed to help us make sure students are on track with their
literacy and numeracy development. Students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9
participate in NAPLAN tests for reading, writing, conventions of
language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.
Between Tuesday 14th May - Friday 24th May 2019, our school will
participate in NAPLAN Online. Students do not need to be computer
experts to take the NAPLAN test online. Making sure students have
computer skills is part of our school curriculum, and our teachers
will ensure your child is familiar with the online format. To see
the types of questions and interactive features of NAPLAN Online,
visit the public demonstration site.
If you have any questions about NAPLAN Online, please contact
your child’s teacher.
