Our uniform shop, currently run by PSW, will be closing near the end of this term.

This means that we will no longer be supplying uniforms to our community on the

school site. Our new supplier will the School Locker, located at The Grove Home-

maker Centre on Orange Grove Road (Cumberland Highway). We will be organis-

ing a Coffee and Chat to provide more information in the near future.

Education Week is a statewide, annual event to celebrate NSW public educa-

tion, which will be held next 5-9 August 2019. The week communicates the

achievements of public schools, their students and the value of public educa-

tion. The theme for 2019 Education Week is Every student, every voice. It is

a celebration of student empowerment and how the NSW public education

system gives students the skills they need in order to have and express a

voice during their own educational journey and as engaged global citizens.

Join us for #EdWeek19 as we celebrate our students and their power to shape

the world.

See page 6 of this newsletter to find out what is happening at CHPS next

week.=

We are holding Parent-Teacher Interviews on Tuesday 6 and

Wednesday 7 August. Notes went home in Week 1 and requests for

interviews we due back on Wednesday 31 July. You should receive

confirmation of your interview time from your child’s teacher. If you

missed the note, it may not be too late to ask your child’s teacher

for an interview time. Parent-Teacher interviews are an important

opportunity to check on your child’s progress and discuss their report. We hope to see you next week.

Our staff continued to engage in professional learning activities throughout

the last two weeks. Across the school we had teachers attend a variety of

workshops and meetings.

Preschool News

Welcome back to Term 3 preschool. We hope everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday.

The children were very excited last week to return to preschool. Lots of happy faces were sharing

stories and experiences with each other. It is so lovely to see the relationships between our children

and families.

A few reminders for parents and families, it is very cold in the mornings so please layer your child’s clothing. Don’t forget to label everything to avoid lost items. We will still be playing and learning out-side as it is important for young children.

Can we ask that parents and families please remember to sign in every morning and sign out

every afternoon. This is a legal requirement we must adhere to.

Last week preschool enjoyed being back in the outdoor environ-

ment. The mud kitchen was a popular area to be in. The children

were sharing personal experiences about cooking and gardening

whilst playing here. There were mud pies and pizzas on offer and

they were delicious. The children happily shared roles and re-

sponsibilities of chefs, assistants, instructors and customers. Lots

of turn taking was observed through this play, such a great skill

for young children to develop.

The boys had a great time sharing and taking turns with the bas-

ketballs and hoops. They were so excited each time they were

successful with a goal. Hearing them cheer each other on was so

pleasing. The boys had a system of lining up to ensure each per-

son had equal turns. The rules were negotiated and followed by

all. We may have some future sport stars amongst us at Canley

Heights!

Sand play has been missed over the holidays. The boys request-

ed we put the trucks and diggers in with buckets and spades.

They were using the trucks, diggers and spades to create big

holes. There was a completion over who could dig the biggest

hole. We will be exploring sizes and mass concepts more over

the next few weeks. We will extend on this experience by adding

water to the holes, creating tunnels for vehicles and much more.

Keep an eye out for the things we create!

3/4C News

3/4C- The Tech-Savvy Crew!

Now that Term 3 has begun, 3/4C have gotten straight into the swing of things

and have commenced our technology program. This term, we are becoming

more confident when using Microsoft Word to publish our writing pieces.

We are learning about how to change fonts, layouts, page designs, add bor-

ders and even attach pictures from the internet.

For the next few weeks, 3/4C are looking at ‘Recycling’. We are using our computer lab time to research and produce a short informative text on ‘Why recycling is important’. Take a look at how hard we are all concentrating!

“I like that when we type and make mistakes, Mi-crosoft Word underlines the incorrect word and

helps us fix it up.” - Tayt

“When we type our texts on Microsoft Word, our

work is much neater and most of the time we finish

quicker”. - Adriano

“Typing helps me think better and my typing is much faster than when I

write”. - Aiden

“Using Microsoft Word is easier and quicker than having to write in pencil.

It’s much neater as well!” - Angelina
