Dear Parents and Carers
We are thrilled to inform you that Ibu Christee Hampson has been successful in her submission for Chapman
PS to have an Indonesian national come to work as an Indonesian Teacher Learning Assistant. The ILTA will
work with Ibu Hampson and the students in the Indonesian Room on Wednesdays, during Terms 2 and 3. Our
ILTA, Pak Adri hails from Bogor in Java and is being sponsored by the Indonesian Embassy and EDT. He will
stories about his country, help children with their language, teach students more about his culture and most
importantly give pupils and the wider school community the chance to build a friendship with an Indonesian
national. When he is not at school assisting with the teaching of Bahasa Indonesia, you will find Pak Adri at
ANU studying towards his PhD in Environmental Economics. If you see him around the school, please say
“selamat pagi” (good morning) or “selamat siang” (good day to him) and make him feel welcome in our
Chapman PS way.
We have had another exciting fortnight for Chapman Primary School. On Tuesday night I had the pleasure of
attending the Rostrum Quarter finals held at Telopea Park School and on hearing Josie Robertson of 5/6 DH,
was an extremely proud Principal. Josie was highly animated, spoke with clarity and engaged her audience.
Well done Josie.
Our Da Vinci Decathlon teams also did us proud. This year 31 ACT schools participated in this highly
competitive and challenging event. For the fourth year in a row we have been a top performing school.
Congratulations to our year 6 team who with Curtin Primary received equal 2nd place; both being narrowly
piped at the post by Aranda Primary. Another great achievement for our ACT Public Schools. The year 5 teams
also did extremely well; being placed in the top 10 for all of the categories. The students had a wonderful day of
collaboration and problem solving. Thank you again to Ms Holdway and Mr Shiels for their organization and
support.
Being an active and respectful citizen of Chapman Primary is an aspiration that is valued by our community.
Our School Representative Council (SRC) is responsive to providing opportunities for all the children to
contribute positively to school life and also to reach out beyond the community. We were all sad to hear of the
devastation caused to Nepal during the recent earthquakes particularly about children losing their home, schools
and even family members. Two of our recent SRC/P&C activities, the Disco and Cup Cake day have raised
over $1500 that will be donated to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Appeal. At tomorrow’s assembly, one of
our community members, Anita Dwyer will be receiving the donation on behalf of the Red Cross. Having
recently returned from Nepal she will also speak with the children about her work in the Humanitarian field and
her work in coordinating the relief effort. Anita will also share some photos of the region and how our money
might be used to help others.
The freezing, frosty mornings have signalled the start of winter and often the desire for some to stay snuggled
up in bed for an extra few minutes. As the morning temperatures drop and the weather is less pleasant, we
encourage children to arrive at school between 8:35 and 8:45am. This allows the children to come into class
and begin their school day at 8:50am and not be outside in the cold for too long. Please remember that the class
learning programs begin at 8:50am each day. All children like to have a settled start to their day and begin
their learning tasks having heard and understood the directions and knowing they are in the right group. We
thank parents and carers for supporting the teachers by ensuring your child arrives at school on time and ready
for learning.
We are hoping for the brilliant sunny days to continue next week as the Athletics Carnival will be held on our
school oval on Thursday 11th June. This will be a whole school event and all students will be involved. The
carnival will commence promptly at 9.30am, though we invite parent helpers and spectators to meet on the oval
around 9.15am. The format will be very similar to last year. Students from Years 2 to 6 will be participate for
the full day and students from Kindergarten and year 1will participate for approximately half the day.
Kindergarten and year 1 children will be first off the mark at 9.30am and will then participate in rotation
activities before returning to class. In anticipation of a frosty start to the day please ensure that your children
have an extra layer of clothing over their running gear, a knee rug, beanies and gloves would be a welcome
addition.
Our wonderful P&C and Canteen subcommittee are organizing the “sausage sizzle” and welcome any
assistance on the day.
Walkathon Week 10
This year our Walkathon will take a new route. We are planning a whole school walk, up to and around
Cooleman Ridge in week 10. Our Walkathon committee have plans for the day well under way and will provide
more information in the ensuing weeks.

2016 Preschool Enrolment ** Important Information **
The Department of Education and Training has reduced the 2016 ACT Preschool class size to 22 students per
class. Once the class capacity is reached no further enrolments will be accepted, this includes Chapman
residents and siblings of children concurrently enrolled at Chapman Primary.
What this means for you
If you currently have a child/ren enrolled at Chapman and are planning to enrol a sibling at Preschool next year,
you will need to submit your online enrolment before the closing date of 5 June. If you enrol in Preschool
after the closing date and preschool class capacity has been reached you may have to enrol at another ACT

Preschool
There was great excitement at preschool this week as the children discovered dinosaur bones in the sandpit. We
became palaeontologists and carefully removed the bones and tried to recreate the dinosaur using the bone
parts. This has created a lot of discussion about what happened to the dinosaurs and how they became extinct.
Now that it is the beginning of winter we have talked about the changes in our preschool garden. Some trees are
nearly bare while others still have many leaves. There have been some frosts already which have provided nice
cold starts to the morning. Please make sure that your child has a warm labelled coat to wear when we go
outside.
If you would like to make an interview time please contact preschool on 62057677 or speak to us when
dropping off or collecting your child.
The Preschool Team
Kindergarten - The Garden
Kindergarten continues to bustle along and we can't believe we have just passed the
midway point in Term 2.
In Literacy, we have been looking at word families, with a recent focus on an, et, ig and
the letter blend sh. You may like to hunt for these in books that you are sharing at home.
See if you can make up lists of rhyming words for any that you find.
Over the past fortnight we have been continuing our many investigations in our Inquiry and are enjoying
sorting and classifying objects according to what they are ‘made of’. Perhaps at home you could tally the
number of household items you can find made of metal, plastic, textiles, wood and glass. Which is the
most/least common?
To support this science unit we have been busy organising an excursion to Questacon for later this term. Keep
an eye out for a permission note coming home in the next couple of days.
Another special project we are working on is a new program called 'Bush Kids' and it will be starting next term.
This program will be explained further in a parent information session and parent pack in Week 8 of this term.
Reminder:
School hats have been now sent home to be washed and can be kept there until we resume wearing them next
term. We will inform families when hats will be required.
Kind Regards,
Michelle May, Tessa van der Hoek, Priscilla Reyenga and Kristy Messenger
Year 1 - Where the Forest Meets the Sea
Year 1 – Where the forest meets the sea
We have started our new Integrated Inquiry this week – ‘Home Among the Gum Trees’ which focuses on the
learning area of Geography. We will be investigating and describing the features of our local area. To get a
great view of some of these features we went for a walk up Cooleman Ridge on Tuesday morning. Below are
some photos of the students drawing the natural, managed and constructed features they can see.
In Maths groups, we have all been practising our skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. Asking your child to find the
total of any coins you have in your purse or wallet (hopefully there are a few) would be a way to help them at
home.
In Literacy, we have been focusing on the ‘making connections’ strategy to improve our reading
comprehension. Students have been making text to self connections. After reading a book we have been using
the following sentence starters to help us with our thinking:
 This book reminds me of…
 This book makes me think of…
Perhaps you could use them with the home reader or a book you are sharing at home this week.
Kind regards,
Prue Anderson, Tegan Kennedy, Laura Poultney and Helen Tranter
Year 2 – Animalia
What an exciting time Year 2 have been having with our exploration of forces. This week, we are using our
knowledge of friction to explore how we can make toy cars move. Ask your child to explain what they already
know about what friction is and how we can see examples of it in our daily lives. We are excited to be making
community connections next Friday 12th June, and have a visit from Mrs Lovatt who is a science teacher from
Stromlo High School. Mrs Lovatt is going to build upon our knowledge of friction and share some exciting new
learning and activities with us.
We are really looking forward to testing our paper planes from our homework task tomorrow. It will be exciting
to see how we apply our knowledge of gravity and air pressure to design a paper plane that flies the furthest and
has the longest flight time on Friday.
A friendly reminder that hats are now off during the winter months of June and July. It is fine for the students
to wear a plain red beanie for warmth if they choose to. It is important to continue to send along a drink bottle
to school every day to ensure that our brains are well hydrated.
Maths equipment request - To support our classroom programs please send in any clean boxes, clean plastic
containers and clean old plastic juice bottles to the classes. If anyone has any interesting shaped boxes that we
can explore for 3D shape we would welcome them also. An old Toblerone box is such an fascinating shape to
explore!
Save the date – Whole School Walkathon Thursday 2nd July 11am. We would love at least five parents per
class to walk with us. Please contact your class carer to let them know if you can help.
Melina Clark, Sharon Hickey, Lee Hodges, Bek Lane and Kate Pottenger (LSA)
Year 3 – The Tree House
Year 3 have had a wonderful start to the new Inquiry unit ‘Great Southern Land’. Students have already begun
sharing their prior knowledge and sharing experiences from their travels around Australia. This Inquiry
explores the States and Territories of Australia, landmarks, surrounding seas and oceans as well as our
neighbouring countries.
Thank you for the continued support to ensure students meet their homework requirements. We have been
impressed by the quality of homework produced this week and are looking forward to binding all of the
information posters to create class books.
A reminder that the athletics carnival is on next Thursday. As it is likely it will be cool weather in the morning
please ensure students wear suitable clothing. Students are encouraged to wear house colours. It is important
their jumpers and jackets are labelled also. You are welcome to come and watch and we look forward to seeing
many of you there.
Kind regards,
Lauren Daniel, Mark Shiels, Fiona O’Hare and Trish Foster
Year 4 – The Land Of Oz
The past fortnight has been a very busy time in Year 4. We welcomed back Ms Duncan from her trip to Hawaii,
went on camp to Warrambui, went on a double excursion to Geoscience Australia and the National Botanic
Gardens and a visit from Captain Lister to start our new History unit of work “Bound for Botany Bay”.
The excursions were a wonderful opportunity to culminate our Geology unit and we thank those parents that
accompanied us on the day.
We will continue to consolidate our multiplication skills and processes. The multiplication project will
commence towards the end of Week 7.
We are also continuing to work on our sentence structure and the language associated with creating exciting,
descriptive and meaningful sentences. Do you know what a compound sentence is?
We welcome to the unit Miss Lisa Bodger who is an intern from the University of Canberra.
Regards,
Fiona Duncan, Sheridan Brill and Paul Campbell
Year 5/6 - Superheroes
Da Vinci Decathlon
Last week, some of our 5/6 students took part in the Da Vinci Decathlon which is an academic gala day. They
competed in teams of eight to complete a wide range of academic challenges. We were very impressed with the
team work and problem solving demonstrated.
Here is Serena Drury’s reflection on the day:
The Da Vinci Decathlon was a fun but challenging event for all of my team, and it required teamwork from all
of us. We had to cooperate and be willing to help out even if we were busy doing our own section of the
academics. The cartography was particularly challenging, and took four members of my team, including myself
to complete is successfully. Completing the English was very costly for time, with us managing to finish the
papers just as the allowed time was drawing to a close. We were working hard nearly the whole day but we
managed to achieve second place even though we thought the odds were against us with thirty one other year 6
teams competing for a place. The year 6 Da Vinci Decathlon was certainly harder than we all expected but was
certainly a great achievement for all of us.
Year 5 combined band
Year 5 band students attended their first combined band practice. They got to experience playing with students
from four different schools with the addition of brass band instruments. We are impressed with the progress that
many students are making and we continue to encourage them to make practice a part of their daily routine.
Peer support
We were very proud of the excellent job our Year 6 students did during their first peer support lesson! Teachers
from across the school commented on how well our leaders delivered their lesson to students from Kindergarten
to Year 5. Peer support runs every fortnight on non-assembly weeks. We ask that you try and minimise
absences on these days where possible.
The Year 5/6 team.
Chapman Athletics Carnival
Our school Athletics Carnival will be held on Thursday 11 June at Chapman Oval. We are looking forward to
seeing our Kindergarten students compete in their first Athletics Carnival. All parents are welcome to attend
to cheer on the students or assist during the day. Please see below for the carnival program. It is a great day
out for all students and parents!
