Ffd Newsletter 4-6-09

Family Fun Day 2009 Newsletter 4 June 2009 The final countdown is on – There are only 10 days to go – it’s now up to you. We need all your help to make this the most successful fundraiser for the school. So now is the time to step up and offer your assistance. ... volunteer on the roster, sell more raffle tickets, find a new sponsor, buy an all day ride ticket or an all day pass for the ponies/climbing wall and petting zoo for the kids, encourage your kids to put in an entry in the colour in comp, the teddy bear comp or the Art Show, save up all your loose change for the kids to spend… Michael Vandervelde FFD convener

Family Fun Day needs your….Trash All quality donations (second hand or new) are welcome and can be left at the NWPS office. We have had very few donations so far and are hoping that it is the rain that has discouraged families from bringing donations to the office. If you are unsure if you item is suitable, or need assistance with pick up, please email [email protected] or call on 0401 587 254 Cheers,

This year we are trying a new idea - we have two class rooms, some data projectors and some gaming consoles. We will be using short games that are appropriate for all ages like: Wii Sports and Sing Star. At this stage I am planning on having two Wii consoles and a PS2 in action. On the day I will need an adult to supervise each console, we will avoid changing games all the time, so it should just involve ensuring each group finish promptly and getting the next group going. I hope to see you on the day. Cheers Colin Pickup Henry's locally famous spring rolls are back again this year! No matter how many he makes they always sell out fast, so please get in early to sample his delicious vegetarian delight. They are freshly made, peanut free and cooked in canola oil. Allyson Waird Spring Rolls Convenor

Hopefully by now you are all well and truly on your Helen Howse & Leigh Higgins way, delivering leaflets for our Family Fun Day Thank you so much for your help.

Special mentions go to: * The office staff who completed the printing in record time, * Margaretta Adams who donated ALL the paper again this year, and * To Sharon Laidlaw who RSVPed from Ireland to say she would help. Any problems or you haven't recieved the leaflets, please email me at [email protected]

Art @ FFD Family Fun Day Art Exhibition A new event at this year’s Family Fun Day. OUR VISION: To showcase the creative talents of students in our school.

MAIN EXHIBITION Each child will create an individual piece of art work (in class) to be displayed on Family Fun Day. This exhibition will replace the quilt show as one of our major attractions. A variety of mediums will be used from traditional canvas to sculpture. Every child’s art work will be displayed. Entry to view the exhibition will be via a gold coin donation. Students will be given displayed art works to take home on the next school day. A donation to the P&C of $5 per child to cover the cost of materials would be appreciated. SUPPLEMENTARY EXHIBIT To encourage students with a flair for the arts there will be an open section for those students wishing to exhibit work created in their own time. These can be individual or collaborative works. This section is open to any medium. All art works to be submitted by Tuesday 9th June, 2009. Entry fee $5 per piece will apply. Prizes will be awarded in three age groups. 4-6yrs, 7-9 yrs, 10yrs + Please list type of art to be exhibited to help with display organisation.
