Swimming
Carnival
NEWSLETTER
On Friday 8 March students from
Years 4, 5 and 6 went to the South
West Sports Centre to participate in
the Faction Swimming Carnival. The
day began in the pool with students
competing in either 50m or 25m
events across 4 strokes (freestyle,
breaststroke, backstroke and
butterfly). It was encouraging to see
not only the amazing performances
of individuals but also the
determination and resilience shown
by students giving the swimming
events a go for the first time. After
a short lunch break it was out onto
the lawn and on the pool slide for a
series of novelties aimed at fun and
cooperation. The students spent 2
hours rotating through 9 activities,
getting soaked and having a lot of fun.
I know I slept well after the day and I
hope the students did too. We now
turn our attention to the Interschool
Carnival to be held on the 22 March
again at the South West Sports
Centre.

What’s been happening in Japanese ?
JAPANESE CALLIGRAPHY – SHODO – 書道
It’s been a busy couple of weeks in Japanese.
Students have been learning how to write their name in the Japanese script Katakana.
After much writing practise, students were shown how to write their name in traditional
Japanese calligraphy called Shodo 書道. Some students showed some definite natural
talent here.
The art of Shodo originated in China and was introduced to Japan in the sixth or
seventh century. These days Shodo is an art form and practised by primary school
students from an early age. To be a true Shodo master takes many, many years of
practise.

A BIG THANK YOU goes to Mrs Spencer for helping out each week in the Year 4 Japanese class. Spencer Sensei also speaks

our Japanese lessons. 本当にありがとうございます.
Also, a BIG THANK YOU goes to the Macquarie and Smith families who have very kindly offered to host some of the visiting

our children.

What’s New?
Come in and meet Bettie & Taco!
We have 2 lovely goldfish at OSHClub named Bettie (the white goldfish) and Taco (the
black goldfish). They arrived on Friday last week and while feeding them we noticed Taco
swam past all the food and we realised he is actually blind. Taco is very self-sufficient; he
finds the food at the bottom of the tank on the rocks. Bettie is a little cheeky and loves to
chase after Taco. Over the next few weeks we will be discussing and learning about
people who are blind and what some people use in their daily lives such as guide dogs and
braille.
