Classes, K/1, 1/2 and 2/3 travelled to the Narrandera Fisheries and Alna Wildlife Park on 10th September. The students had a wonderful day experiencing yabbies at the fisheries, riding on carts driven by draſt horses, seeing animals at Alna Wildlife Park. Below are some of their experiences. I woke up on the day of our big excursion, and by now my stomach was churning with excitement. (Chayce year3) Vroom, vroom. My heart was beang so fast when I got on the bus. (Indie year 2) We met a fish called Agro, he didn’t have any table manners. (Mikayla year 3) There was a turtle touch table and we of course we got to touch them. There was a long neck turtle and the name wasn’t lying! (Luka year 3) I was surprised when I saw the turtles. They were SO cute, my heart was warm like a fireplace. (Bridget year 2) We went outside for the yabby race and then we got to pick them up. My heart was pounding. I just couldn’t pick it up. (Georgina year 3) For the yabbie race, they had numbers on them so we knew what team and we got to hold them. (Lincoln year 2) My heart thumped like a dinosaur walking as I picked up the yabbie in my hand. (Quinn W year 2) Finally, we were at Alna. Yes! Everyone suddenly got excited and started cheering! (Georgina year 3) We went on a horse and cart carriage, I got to sit in the front. (Mia year 2) We rode a horse and cart carriage. Year 2 & 3’s horse was named Blue and the person who controlled Blue was named Rohan. (Quinn W year 2) A water buffalo makes a quacking sound! Isn’t that crazy! (Elise year 3) There was a camel that tried to spit at us. It was a very rude camel! (Bridget year 2) Suddenly our horse, Blue went really, really quickly. We sped up the hill and down and around the bends. It was WILD! (Chayce year 3) Then we headed back to the bus and headed off. I had lots of fun. I hope I can do it again. (Alex year 3)

Marrambidya Wetlands Last Friday, 1/2 and 2/3 travelled to the Marrambidya wetlands in Wagga
Wagga. We took part in a number of activities learning about Wiradjuri
culture as well as our local wetland area. We looked at a number of
artworks made by local elders and learned about how these connected to
their country around them. We discovered that there is a number of
different plant and animal life surrounding the wetlands and enjoyed
drawing and writing about them. We all loved the humpies that were
created around the meeting area as these showed us how Wiradjuri
people lived and moved around their country.
Have you lost something
this term? Please come in and look in our lost property. We have

your child’s belongings so that we can return them when

DSM news
Considering this is the last newsletter for Term 3, time has flown by. Before we know it, Term 4 will be over, Christmas will be upon us, the removalist trucks will be in full swing and families will be travelling to their new locations and new families will be arriving in Wagga. In saying that, Kapooka Public School would like to say a warm farewell to two families that will be leaving us at the end of Term 3. Travel safely and enjoy your next adventure. Again, if there has been late notifications of postings, please let us know ASAP as I am in the process of organising our moving groups for next term. With Term 4 fast approaching, a reminder again, that the wearing of hats is compulsory. If the hat is forgotten, the children must play undercover, out of the sun. It is also a good idea to apply sunscreen in the morning for extra protection. For current families attending Kapooka Public School, who have preschool children ready to start Primary School, please remember to fill out the enrolment paperwork and give to Mrs Geale in the office. The earlier this is done the better, as we need to know our student numbers for next year. If you have children ready to start preschool, please go and see the lovely ladies there for enrolment packs or even to put your name on the waiting list, as Kapooka Preschool is in high demand. If you are travelling these holidays, please take care and stay safe. Have a wonderful and relaxing break and we will see you all after the holidays for a busy yet exciting term to end 2019.
