Election news.

Last week, the government announced that four new charter schools are going to be set up around the country.

PPTA has always said that charter schools aren't a particularly good idea. We were opposed to their introduction in 2013, and we remain opposed to them today.

Backpack Full of Cash 

is a documentary about charter schools - about how they're funded (and how they're funded to the detriment of public schools), how they're not held to the same standards as public schools, and how they're a pathway to the stealthy privatization of the public system.

There are a number of websites from which you can view further info. Gold coin donation.

Fitness was fast sharp bursts of energy on the Snakes and ladders squares. There was no need to have the heat pump on! We were busy and roasting.

I have 34 buns and I want to divide them between 4 classes. How many will they get  each and will there be any left for me to share with the staff?

A third of lollipops are broken how many of my set of 27 are broken?

A carton of baked beans has 24 cans in it. How many cans will be in 4 boxes?

Charlie came in and gave her speech on "Grandmas" It was so funny! NPS are all hoping that you will do well tomorrow at the Interschool Speech finals.

Room 4 had their assembly this afternoon. They were such a wonderful little lot of learners. Well done Room 4 and Mrs Sighn.

We looked at the Information Presentations that had not been shared. They were so informative with great subtitles, information and pictures that showed the viewer more information. Some people had even added video clip links which we watched.
