Thanks Miss Marshall!!!!

Hi Guys,

I have been very lucky over the last few weeks, because Colab have had our excellent Student Teacher Miss Marshall. She is always so kind and helpful to me, so it was a real shame she had to go. Thank you for everything you have done for CSNS, Colab, and me. You are going to be the best teacher ever! All our best wishes for the future. Can’t wait for you to come in visit us. :) I am going to miss you! Here are some photos from her farewell. Have you ever had a wonderful student teacher? I love hearing back from you. Thanks so much everyone! Kate, :)

Cross Country 2017

Hi There! 
A few weeks ago, I went to Cross Country. After coming back, I challenged myself and wrote a factual report - I have never done this before. Have you ever ran Cross Country? Do you like running? I love to see your comments. Thanks, Kate :)

Proud parents, supportive friends, and loving family of the CSNS Kids were crowded on the Dransfields Farm to encourage everyone on the 1st of June, 2017. It was the annual Cross Country Day! It was the day where Yr 3-6 children from CSNS travelled out to the country. This was the day of the year that the majority of students dreaded.    


The Dransfield’s Farm
They were out on the Dransfield’s Farm because it was perfect for long distance running. It very much fitted the description. There was squelching mud. Hilly terrain was what challenged the students and many participants fell over because it was such a steep, mountainous track. Lush forests were plentiful, that were littered with logs, leaves, and pebbles, layering the ground like a carpet. The creeks were meandering through the hills and forests. Some unpleasant features included gargantuan areas of land complete with oozing, putrid mud. All these components together, made a stimulating track that was challenging for every participant.

Getting Started
The participants started off after getting out of the bus by tramping up a huge hill where Mrs Langley and Mrs Tremain kindly had layered down an extensive tarpaulin. A team of volunteers had marked out a huge track with luminous orange cones. They had purposely not avoided disgustingly muddy ranges. As everyone perched on the ground, nerves aroused, there were butterflies fluttering everywhere. The first set of competitors readied themselves for the event.

Race Time
The time came for the races, and it was a success! Students strived and pushed themselves to their limit. They bolted across the finish line, their faces burgundy with a huge gawping smile. Everyone was grubby and masked in natural country cow poo. What a fantastic day!

Cycling Adventure

Hey Guys, 
A few weeks ago I went on cycling course. I learnt heaps of skills that will help me for life, and had heaps of fun. Huge thanks to Phil and Matt who taught and guided us. Please comment below. Do you go biking? Do you know the road rules? When did you learn to ride on the road? Thanks Kate. 



My heart was thumping as we paraded our bikes onto the footpath. This was such an unfamiliar experience for me. We had previously geared up in our hi vis vests and helmets. People undoubtedly could see us for miles. We all listened to Phil (our Biking Instructor), and Matt (a police officer) who gave us a short informing talk, reminding us of the road rules. “Come on Guys, we’re going first!’’ Phil announced with excitement. I was in Phil’s Group. I felt very mixed up. I felt flustered, yet bouncing with excitement. My emotions were wrestling with each other. Good feelings alway win though, and I felt enthusiastic. I hoisted my bike onto the road. I adjusted the petals until I was in power position and ready to go. I felt very responsible to be going on the road. This was going to be fun! We checked behind us. ‘CLEAR!” we all screeched at the top of lungs. And with that, we disappeared into the distance.  I was thrilled.
