2 Cross Country Travelling to Eildon PS for the Cluster Cross Country last week was lovely. The autumn colour was perfect and the excitement of the students looking forward to their races was high. Mrs Male, Mr Fisher and I were very proud of the sportsmanship of our students, and the encouragement they gave to their peers was great. The students all ran to the best of their ability and many are already thinking about how they can improve their placing next year. The following students will be par cipa ng in the Division event on the Yea Racecourse on 2nd June 2015 Melody, Abbey, Cassy, Angus, Breanna, Shayla, Zoee, Nellie and Jayden. Good luck to these runners and congratula ons to all our students who have been training and ran at the Cluster Cross Country. Anzac Day It seems that all Anzac services were well a ended this year and Yea s service on Saturday was no excep on. It was a wonderful service and an example of how the whole community can work together to achieve something special. Our singing group were so pa ent and respec ul standing for a long me before they sang and then listening and par cipa ng in the service. The songs they sang were enjoyed by many in the audience who joined in the singing. Thank you to Sal and Miss Fillmore for their prepara on for this event and also Miss Fillmore for suppor ng the students to make poppies in class for the many white crosses that were opposite the cenotaph. Holly, Melody, Hunter and Tobias lay flowers on behalf of our school during the service and Caleb a ended the Glenburn service and represented our school in that community. Our Parents & Friend s under the organisa on of Kylie Warren provided a delicious morning tea for many people in the community a er the service at the RSL. It was a very busy morning for all our parents and all the support was appreciated by the school and Yea community.

3 CHAPPY S CHAT From the School Chaplain A BIG hello to the Yea Primary School community! This is my third week at Yea Primary School and it s been lovely meeting many children, parents and staff. So far we have started a Lunchtime Live activities group at lunchtimes which involves sports, games, crafts, cartooning, dance and lots more for any students who wishes to participate. I ve also been spending a lot of time assisting in the classroom which has been very beneficial in learning lots of names! I also get the opportunity to add to the newsletter! This week I wanted to mention that there are five ways to express love emotionally. Each care giver and child has a primary love language that, when spoken, makes us feel loved. They are listed below: ACTS OF SERVICE- Do you remember the old saying, "Actions speak louder than words"? This may look like: * Helping or being helped with chores, school projects, making meals and snacks etc. PHYSICAL TOUCH- Long before an infant understands the meaning of the word love, he or she feels loved by physical touch. This may look like: * Receiving kisses, hugs, cuddles and high fives Physical ac vi es: racing, wrestling, climbing in your lap etc. QUALITY TIME Giving your child your undivided attention is important. This may look like: * Eating together, reading a story, playing a game/sport, doing crafts together etc May this information bless you in your parenting. Keep smiling! Shelley Davis (School Chaplain) We would love to receive any dona ons of wood offcuts or tools to aid our boys woodworking group this term. Please give any dona ons to Jonathan Fisher. Thank you for your help! Shelley School Uniform Shop Open every Thursday Before & after school TIMES 8:50am 9:10am 3:00pm 3:20pm 3:20pm Don t forget that every Tuesday is School Banking day. Students need to bring in their deposit book on this day. It will be returned at the end of the week. Issue No 11 Page 3 30th April 2015
