Term 2, Week 6

Go Blue Day!

Term 2 Running Club

All students in Kindy to Year 6 and their families are encouraged to join Miss Uglow on the Primary Green every Thursday morning to run as many laps around the Green as you can! No matter what your ability is, come on down to earn House points, improve your fitness, build your confidence and run your way towards a healthier lifestyle.

Each participating individual will be given their own Running Club lapathon card to count their laps every week. Runners will earn 1 Running Club House Point for every lap they complete around the Primary Green. Running Club lapathon cards must be left with Miss Uglow at the end of each session.

WEEK 5 Running Club House Points : (drum roll please…)

We will meet on the Primary Green every THURSDAY morning from 8.00am – 8.25am. Come dressed in your sport uniform or normal school uniform and running shoes. You can still participate even if you are not dressed in your sport uniform! Everyone is welcome – you do not need to sign up to participate in this club. Run at your own pace and come and go as you please. Parents/guardians and younger siblings are encouraged to join in too.

We encourage all of our Interschool Cross Country team members to join us at Running Club every Thursday morning in preparation for the Interschool Carnival in Week 10.

OSH CLUB RUNNERS
Students who attend OSH Club on Thursday morning are welcome to come along to Running Club too. Please advise the OSH staff if your child would like to attend running club and a staff member will walk them to our club on the green. Thank you.

NO MOVEMENT CLUB IN TERM 2

Due to Year 2 – 6 Interschool Cross Country Training on Tuesday mornings.

Scholastic Book Club

The due date for Scholastic issue 4 is Saturday 8 June

Children’s University

Can you believe we already have three students who have qualified for graduation later this year? So early in the year! This is so encouraging – keep up the learning outside the classroom!!

For students who have accured enough hours for graduation yet, don’t forget to log on to the CU portal. The web address and log on details for the CU portal are inside the front cover of your passport. Click on one of the tabs at the top of the page and begin exploring all the exciting ways you can learn outside the classroom. Here is one I found where you can learn more about Antarctica and earn 90 minutes in your passport. Feel free to print this out, complete the activities and bring it to the next stamping session.

Keep loving what you learn!
