Jokes for the week
I thought that it was time for some fun – here are a few jokes to share with your family and friends. Do you have any favourite jokes? Perhaps you could email me, and I could share them in future newsletters.
1] How do you organize a space party? You planet
2] What do you call a chicken staring at a lettuce? Chicken sees a salad
3] Why are spiders so smart? They can find everything on the web
4] Did you hear about the guy giving away free batteries? They were free of charge
5] Why don’t bananas ever get lonely? Because they all hang out in bunches
6] What do you call a magician that loses his magic? Ian
7] What do you call a well-balanced horse? Stable
8] What does a spy do when they are cold? They go undercover
9] Why do mushrooms get invited to all the parties? Because they are such fungis
10] I told my friend 10 jokes to make her laugh. Sadly, no pun in ten did.
Let’s finish with some puns:
1] I was going to tell a time-traveling joke, but you guys didn’t like it.
2] I don’t play soccer because I enjoy the sport. I’m just doing it for kicks.
3] I’d tell you a chemistry joke, but I know I wouldn’t get a reaction.
4] I only know 25 letters of the alphabet. I don’t know y.
5] I once wrote a song about a tortilla… but it was more of a wrap.
Jokes are a good way to lift our mood. Life can often be serious, and we need to be ready to deal with those moments, but we also need to have strategies to give us perspective, and a sense that things will be okay.
Here are a couple of quotes about jokes to finish. Yes, I know I’m hilarious. My goal is to make people happy, so I won’t tell a joke that will offend. Have fun everyone!
Community wellbeing:
Toast Tuesday: This free breakfast program runs weekly on Tuesdays at 8.30am until the first bell in the SPC, and is open to all students. Woolies Eastland helps support this weekly program with a monthly gift card for our toast spreads.
We are also thankful to Bakers Delight Heathmont, for their generous provision of loaves for Toast Tuesday. If you would like some regular bakery items for your family, please email me, or see me at school. They are available at Toast Tuesday, or given to your child.
We would love to have a couple more parent helpers on our team. You need to have a current ‘Working with Children’ card. My wife Bonnie coordinates the team each week. There are 2 rostered on with her. The link to the roster is volunteersignup.org/9MJL8
Second-hand uniforms: If you need any uniforms, we have a large supply of second-hand items in good condition. Gold coins are all you need. Check our stock at Toast Tuesday, or on assembly mornings.
Contact: I am happy to meet with any parents who would like to chat about life. Come and see me on Tuesdays or Fridays. I am happy to chat about family, fears, faith, friends, food [lack of] or anything really. Email me if you would to do so.
I am able to meet with students once, and for further contact we ask parents to sign a Consent Form. If you would like a form, I can send one home or email one to you.
