Thank you Hannah for your hard work and the great job you have done! This week, Mrs Townsend returns. Welcome back Mrs Townsend! Thank you also to Mrs Grobler for the great job you have done teaching 5A over the last five weeks. Sounds to Letters: This week s sound focus is er sound. Common letter combinations that make this sound are er (fern), ir (bird), ur (fur), or (worm). A less common letter choice is ear (learn). Behaviour Focus: This week s behaviour focus is resilience. Resilience means not getting angry or worried, or calming down when you get very upset, then bounding back to work or play. You can show that you are resilient by not getting angry or fighting when someone says something mean to you, fixing up mistakes in your work without getting angry or upset, or by calming down when you are upset and continuing on with your work. Prep-Year One Athletics Carnival: A reminder... Next Tuesday, 3 rd June, is our Prep-Year One athletics carnival. The event begins at 11am and should be finished by 2:30pm. Please encourage your child to dress in their house colours, and bring a hat, water bottle and sunscreen. We hope to see you there supporting your child/ children.

Page 9 of 12 Minion Meal Deal!!! $6.00 Continuing with our week of Despicable Me 2 themed goodies from the Tuckshop, our meal deal this Friday will be in honour of our favourite Minions. NACHOS (Plain) MINION FRUIT CUP (sml container of rockmelon with a marshmallow 'Minion' eye) JUICE There will be Despicable Me 2 themed goodies available over the counter all this week including our Minion bananas and Grapes. Could all parents please advise us at the Tuckshop if your child has any special dietary requirements, whether it be medical or personal, as this will help prevent us from selling your child an item that he/she should not have. We have also noticed some children coming to school with large amounts of money. We understand that sometimes this may be all parents have on that day but would advise it best to only provide what is necessary as unfortunately sometimes change can go missing from your child's tuckshop bag. If we find that a child has large amounts of change left, we have been putting it into an envelope and forwarding to the child's teacher or to the office for safe keeping. If any parent would like to let us know of anything regarding their child and are unable to come to the Tuckshop in person, you can email us on easttuckshop@outlook.com. This is not to be used for Tuckshop orders please!
Page 10 of 12 Also the Tuckshop has started our Early Birds Breakfast! Pop in and grab a hot chocolate/coffee & toast, toasted banana bread or an up & go flavoured milk. We are also open untill 3.00pm every day for our quick snacks or coffee/slushies. Please remember if you would like your apples slinkied, put them in the class tuckshop box.
Page 11 of 12 Please note the amber days as per the Tuckshop Menu. If your child has ordered something not for that day, it will be substituted for the amber option for that day. Please make sure your Tuckshop bag is clearly marked with your child's name, class and which lunch break they would like their meal. Thank you. Find us on Facebook with our weekly specials, special days and pictures of our fantastic food. Community News 4 Williams Street
