By 1/2U Minecraft Q & A Dear families and friends, Next week is Education Week where we celebrate all the teaching and learning that takes place in schools across Victoria. It is a chance to celebrate the huge part that schools play in the lives of our children. Six hours a day, five days a week, forty weeks of every year for thirteen (plus) years, we are at school learning. Not only academic learning, but social, emotional and physical learning too. Our dedicated teachers support, challenge, nurture, facilitate and teach every day. We hope that you will come along to get involved in our learning next Wednesday afternoon between 2:30 and 3:30. There are also many free activities to celebrate Education Week going on around Melbourne, starting on the weekend. Please check out the DET website for more information www.education.vic.gov.au . PROFESSIONAL LEARNING This week the teachers and some of our classes had a wonderful time working with Michael Ymer (Mathematics Education Consultant). It was fantastic timing for us, as Maths is the state focus for Education Week next week. Michael taught three classes during the day and the teachers were the observers and learners. He challenged us to gather our own data, work together to solve problems and work with multiple maths ideas and skills, all in one session. The teachers will now work in their teams to take their learning and embed it into maths teaching practices at Rosanna. NAPLAN Congratulations to all our year three and five students who participated in NAPLAN this week. They showed excellent persistence as they stuck at the tasks and did their very best. Some of them even said it was fun! Thanks to everyone at school for their flexibility with timetabling and space allocation as it allowed our students to have the best possible conditions to complete the assessments. Results will be forwarded to the school in term three and we will let parents know when they are available. SCHOOL SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS Congratulations to Cassie Long who made it through to the Northern Metropolitan regional trials for netball on Monday. Cassie played excellently and just missed out on moving through to the next level. Also, next Friday we wish Zoe Allen well at the State Schools Victoria, Tennis State Finals. Both girls are fantastic representatives of both their sports, and Rosanna Primary School. Fantastic effort! SAFETY We have recently had some safety issues in the school car park with parents and students walking through. This is not a pedestrian area. Please ensure that you use the pedestrian gates and not the car park entry. Also, the car park is reserved for school staff and official visitors only. School staff come and go throughout the day and it is essential that there are spaces available on their return. The car park is not available to parents, particularly at drop off and pick up times. Thank you for your consideration. PREP ENROLMENTS Enrolments are rolling in for prep in 2016. Please complete your enrolment forms and forward them to the school office as soon as possible. It is especially important to know enrolments of siblings of current students to assist us with plans for 2016. HOUSE CUP A win to Blue Gum for week 13. Yearly Totals: Blue Gum =3; Golden Wattle =2; Red Waratah =2; Green Grevillea=4. Literacy News Premier’s Reading Challenge Heather McIntosh Principal ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL’S REPORT Working Bee Saturday 30th May is shaping into a big day. Please let the office know if you can share in making sure our school is kept in great condition. We'll be gathering in the staff meeting room at 1:00pm for an overview of our 'things to do list'. Our gutters and drains are filling up and need a good clean and mulch needs to be spread from our top playground across our gardens. We also need to move some stored bits and pieces from underneath the building. It would be great if participants could bring a shovels, wheelbarrows, gloves, sturdy shoes and a protective hat. Online Publishing Permission and Student Agreement Forms A final reminder note has gone home to parents who have not yet returned these important consent forms. Book of the Year is a major literacy event at RPS and, as such, the decision has been made not to participate as a school in the 2015 Premier’s Reading Challenge. We feel that by also making the Premier’s Reading Challenge a biennial event (alternating with Book of the Year), we will be able to better focus our resources and efforts to make both of these events exciting, interesting and meaningful to student learning. We encourage students, with the support of their families, to participate in the 2015 Premier’s Reading Challenge as home-based readers. Follow the link to find out more information and the forms to register: http://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/events/prc/Page s/childregister.aspx The Premier’s Reading Challenge will be back, bigger and better than ever, as a whole-school event in 2016!

Of all the skills children learn, it is the one you can influence the most. We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to open a world of possible. Our Scholastic Book Fair theme – Kings, Queens and Castles: Enter the Kingdom of Books! – surrounds students in the celebration of reading with hundreds of fun, engaging, affordable books for them to discover. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more, and like most acquired skills, the more children practice reading, the better they’ll achieve. Reading is vital to every child’s success, and raising children as readers means getting involved while they’re young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parent’s direct involvement in his/her child’s education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair. Hope to see you there! Book Fair Dates: Shopping Hours: From Wednesday 27th May to Friday 29th May 2015 Wed 3:30 to 4:30pm Thursday/Friday 8:30 till 9:00am – 3:30 till 4:30pm WIN!! WIN!!

(Georgie) If you are taking transport you need to know the time so you aren’t late for the bus. (Rahma) Time is important so you can get to school on time. (Matilda) So we know the time. (Ella) We have a timetable so we know what is happening each day. (Ian) We need to know the time so we know when something finishes. We need to know when things arrive and depart like planes.
