Week 5 Round Up

What an action packed fortnight we have had. The Year 1 excursion to the Casey Safety Village was most successful and hopefully the children have been sharing their knowledge with you. A special thanks to the 8 brilliant parent helpers who joined us on this excursion. This week we also had a special visit from the ambulance service. Paramedics Julie, Georgia, Jamie and Nikki (all Cornish parents) brought their ambulance in and taught us all about their important job. The children were able to thoroughly check the ambulance out and some lucky people even got their imaginary injuries treated.

This week we have been discussing basic first aid. So, Show and Share for Week 6 is to share a time that the student witnessed (or they may have been the patient!) someone being administered first aid. It may have been in the school ground, at home or somewhere else. The children need to identify what the injury was and what first aid was administered. There will be no Show and Share during Week 7.

If you haven't already done so, could you please bring a shoebox (with a lid) to school no later than Monday 2nd March? As we are creating dioramas any small, clean recycled objects will also be gratefully accepted e.g. small yoghurt tubs, boxes, drink bottle lids etc.

Some house keeping
- Please arrive at school on time - our school day starts promptly at 8.50 a.m.
- Each child needs a hat otherwise they unfortunately cannot participate in any outside activities
- P-2 Literacy Information Evening is this Monday night please book online at https://v1.bookwhen.com/cornishcollege
- Please ensure that your child has a pair of gumboots to use at school.

There have been five late Japanese apps added to the Year 1 app list. Could you please load the following onto your child's iPad?

Finally, thank you for supporting our Carnival last Saturday. Even though it was a hot day, I'm sure your family, like ours, had a wonderful time. Congratulations to Mrs. Sturma's gutsy little dog Digby for taking out 3rd place in the Dog Jumping competition!
