Last Friday we said goodbye to Nate, we wish him all the best back in Western Australia. This week we are madly getting organised for Carols by Candlelight, our swimming program has begun, and our Year 6's started their transition into Year 7 today and we have also had incursions taking place as well.

A Christmas Bush Story
Last week Foundation tuned into the Ecolinc session, A Christmas Bush Story. Expanding on a delightful children’s Christmas picture book, students learnt all about Sugar Gliders, their adaptations and also got to meet some of the other animals living with them in the rain forest.

STIG in the Library
Yesterday, thanks to the Buloke Shire, we had STIG Wemyss, Australia's most loved audiobook narrator for child and young adults visit our Library and perform for us. There was plenty of silliness and loads of laughs had.

Students are encouraged to compliment our Library borrowing by using the Buloke Library Service which is located in the supper room of the Charlton Hall 10am to 4pm Tuesdays.
Many thanks to the Buloke Shire for getting the pool up and running in time for our swimming program. Isn’t the weather just fabulous! Well done to everyone for remembering to pack their bathers, towel and rash vests for day one. Remember we swim every day except for Wednesdays.

Bike Education
Students in years 3 to 6 have been undertaking bicycle education sessions. Last week the program culminated in them riding around town. Students did a great job applying their skills and knowledge of road rules.
Carols
The Charlton Carols by Candlelight is taking place this Sunday, December 10 beginning at 7pm at the REX Cinema. Notes have been sent home with all details. It would be good to see as many of our students present as possible.
