Premiers' Reading Challenge: Congratulations, there are 93 students finished, and another 187 who are getting there! We still have over three weeks left to complete the challenge, so it is important to ensure that any books read are registered. Don’t give up! The last day is Friday 3 September, so do it now! Go to:
https://products.schools.nsw.edu.au/prc/logon.html
You can register the books you are reading at home, including any books your teachers are reading to you online, or that you are reading on one of the online sites, such as Storybox.
Chess: Next term if we are back at school there will be a Chess Tournament at Lunch 2 for interested students in Years 3 - 6. Students in Kinder, Year 1 and Year 2 who are interested in playing Chess will have an opportunity after the tournament to play with the senior students, to learn how to play, about the pieces, strategies etc. Any interested students are invited to go to the following website to get in some practice and improve your strategies before next term.
Poetry: We are lucky to have a great website devoted to Australian poetry. The following two poems are among many which can be found on:
https://australianchildrenspoetry.com.au/author/australianchildrenspoetry/
It is a very busy time at home for parents and carers with home schooling but we encourage you to try to take time to read with your children every day, the effort is worth it.
“I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book!”
Happy reading!
