Thunderstorm asthma-Be prepared this pollen season. Grass pollen season, which typically runs from October to December each year, brings an increase in asthma and hay fever symptoms. It also increases the risk of thunderstorm asthma. For people with asthma or hay fever, especially those who experience wheezing or coughing with their hay fever, thunderstorm asthma can be sudden, serious and even life threatening.
A Note from the Canteen:
It’s Football Fever here at the Canteen! Make sure you bring your $10.00 on Friday to get your hot dog and chocolate milk.
Just as a note, the canteen will not accept American Express platinum cards.
Kim is retiring at the end of the year, so just a reminder if you wanted to take part in the fish finger avenue of honour for Kim, BYO toothpicks and Birds Eye frozen foods please.
What’s happening in your child’s class this term:
Prep: We are learning to use our manners and count to 5. We can’t wait for Mrs. Sprinkle from Danbury Wild Sanctuary to visit and show us her big hairy gecko!
Grade 1: We are slowly building on the delusion that we can be the next generation of leaders by making crepe paper moulds of the solar system! Reminder that our school sleep-over thats happening on the 4th of December requires a $35.00 deposit for popcorn and subscription for Amazon prime for use on the projector for movie night.
Grade 2: We are still continuing to learn about how to be the perfect cyber bully this term! We are hard at work preparing our welcome sign for Molly May-Fabergee, current Instagram influencer’s visit in 2 weeks time!! Miss Trolley is hard at work getting her jaw realigned-We hope you loved your get well soon cards from the cohort Miss Trolley!! Hope Gumnut Gulley Private Elective Surgery Hospital look after you!!!
Grade 3: Sports Try Outs are happening in a weeks time!! Just a reminder that because of government budget cuts, our swimming program is now being moved to a one time excursion only to Sugarloaf Reservoir. Reminder to those attending to bring your own binoculars for churned water watching.
Grade 4: We are going to be learning how to construct passive aggressive text messages as part of our Literacy unit this term. We really loved student Holly’s creation and had to include it in our newsletter. Well done Holly!
Positive First sentence: I really enjoyed going to the park with you because I really like you.
Vague Shift: But when we were on the monkey bars, I don’t know, it was just weird.
Gaslighting zinger: Like I wouldn’t have said those kind of things you said to me. Are you actually okay mentally?
The guilt trip: I guess I thought you were a nice person, but now I’m not so sure?
The mic drop: But I suppose you just don’t know with people, which I’m really hurt about. I might ask Lauren to come to the park with me next week instead.
Grade 5: As part of our technology and Mathematics unit, students in Grade 5 this term will be attempting to not only film their monthly TikTok videos but to ensure the highest reach of both followers and video views. Students will be making a budget and hitting the phones to see how far their videos can get across. We will be having a competition to see who beats last year’s Grade 5 student Georgina Pembersome’s “Watch me complain about my Nando’s food order” viral 5 million TikTok hits! Please know, that we only have limited ring lights donated and can always use more.
Special thanks to Bobby Harmon’s Mum Stefania for donating her spare 12 from home.
We also apologise that extortion mathematics is being moved to the following term.
Grade 6: We thought Term 3 couldn’t have been any better when we managed to FaceTime Chappell Roan yelling at a garbage can as part of our Integrated Studies unit, but this term we have our visit to Barton Prison! We cant wait to hear stories from Frank ‘The Slitter’ Monroe and Brad Staub, who was a career criminal but who was also a nurse! Just a reminder the school can only supply so many cigarettes to barter with the screws, so ensure nobody misses out, please bring your own and/or tobacco.
Lots of love,
Gumnut Primary
