Come Along and Volunteer in our Canteen<br />

It’s a social gathering, but it’s mostly fun<br />

(and the kids need you)<br />

BIDDABAH PUBLIC SCHOOL phone 4954 6058 fax 4956 6780 page 1


Dear Parents,<br />

So many people think that volunteering in the school<br />

canteen is scary. Not true. Just volunteer as a one-off.<br />

No commitments and make up your own mind.<br />

It won’t cost you a thing, lunch and drinks are free. Tea<br />

and coffee are free and the entertainment and view are<br />

fantastic.<br />

NAIDOC <strong>Week</strong><br />

Each year, the students of <strong>Biddabah</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong> have<br />

had a fundraiser for Koori Kids.<br />

This year we are tying the fundraiser in with the<br />

school’s NAIDOC celebrations and Education <strong>Week</strong>,<br />

that being July 29 to August 2.<br />

Volunteers are our school canteen’s most precious<br />

resource. We are in a time of rebuilding the canteen<br />

and are strongly committed to attract and retain more<br />

active volunteers. Helping in our school canteen is a<br />

wonderful way to meet other parents, gain food handling<br />

experience and help with school fundraising. Further, it<br />

gives your child a thrill to see you in the canteen.<br />

Volunteers in the canteen are often mums, dads,<br />

nannies, aunts, uncles and grandparents all working to<br />

promote healthy eating and to make our good school’s<br />

canteen better.<br />

There are many benefits of volunteering. Canteen<br />

volunteers:<br />

• Make new friends<br />

• Improve skills for employment<br />

• Learn new skills<br />

• Help the school raise funds<br />

• Contribute to the school community<br />

You can be a star in your kids eyes. Help in the canteen<br />

and put a smile on their dial. Call Leanne Fong on 0439<br />

643 131.<br />

This year we are selling kits containing a pencil case,<br />

pencil, eraser and small ruler accompanied by a Respect<br />

Band. The kit sells for $3.00 and will be available for<br />

sale during recess on each day of Education <strong>Week</strong>.<br />

Deserted on an Island<br />

If I was deserted on an island the belongings I would<br />

take would be some…<br />

Clothes because I wouldn’t want to have no clothes on a<br />

deserted island! Yuck!!! I can’t even imagine it. I would<br />

also take…<br />

Fresh Water so that I don’t have to use water from<br />

ponds or even worse, the sea! I would also take…<br />

My Two Dogs because you might not know, but dogs are<br />

the kindest friends you could ever have and they’re<br />

quite helpful and very fun to play with! My next<br />

belonging would be…<br />

Food so if I ever did get stuck on a deserted island I<br />

wouldn’t have to go searching for it. I would also take<br />

a…<br />

Bed because if I had a bed made from leaves I wouldn’t<br />

get my beauty sleep and I wouldn’t get enough sleep!!!!!<br />

By Brianna Cross <br />

Deserted on an island<br />

Imagine we are stranded on an island far from<br />

civilisation. We can only take 5 items with us. What<br />

would they be and why<br />

1. Water is essential for us to live. I would as much as I<br />

could bring.<br />

2. I would bring a fishing boat so I could go fishing<br />

because fish is meat and meat is food.<br />

3. A fishing rod would be good on the fishing boat.<br />

4. A tent would be dry and keep me safe inside.<br />

5. A harrier jump jet could get me off the island.<br />

By Sean<br />

Deserted on an island<br />

We are stranded on a remote island and can only take<br />

five items. I would take 1.food and water to stop<br />

dehydration and starvation.<br />

2. Axe to cut down trees and make huts.<br />

3. A bow and arrows to go hunting for food.<br />

4. A four element dragon to get around quicker and to<br />

help hunt and carry the gear.<br />

5. Paint and carving knife to make armour that<br />

camouflages with my surroundings.<br />

Deserted On An Island<br />

1. (Tent)<br />

I would bring a tent if I was deserted on an island<br />

because if I didn’t have one I would have<br />

nowhere to sleep if I was staying for more than<br />

one day.<br />

2. (Food)<br />

If I was deserted I would bring food so that I do not<br />

starve and die because I don’t have anything to<br />

digest.<br />

3. (Water)<br />

I would take as much water as I could if I got deserted<br />

on an island because I wouldn’t survive if I didn’t<br />

have any water and it wouldn’t taste good at all if<br />

I forgot something to drink and would have to<br />

drink the salt water from the ocean. <br />

4. (Clothes)<br />

If I got stuck on an island I would bring some clothes so<br />

that I wasn’t naked and also if someone came. <br />

5. (Compass)<br />

I think a compass would be good to have around if you<br />

wanted to go exploring or just have a walk<br />

around.<br />

By Laura<br />

Deserted on an island<br />

1. I would pick a boat so you could get home from<br />

the deserted island.<br />

2. I would choose boots/shoes so you can walk<br />

without cutting your feet on shells.<br />

3. I would take food to stay alive.<br />

4. I would take water so my brain could work.<br />

5. I would take a tent for shelter.<br />

by Emma.<br />

Deserted on an island<br />

1. I would take my BMX bike because if there was heaps<br />

of dirt I would make a jump. It would be fun.<br />

2. So I don’t get hungry I would take water.<br />

3. A blanket would keep me warm.<br />

4.I would take boots so I don’t step on glass.<br />

5. I would pack a BBQ so I can cook myself some snacks.<br />

By Oskar<br />

Deserted on an island<br />

1. I would take food because it is a thing to keep<br />

energy in you and keep you going for days.<br />

2. Water, so you do not die from thirst and also it<br />

gives you energy.<br />

3. A spade so you can do your business in a hole so<br />

you do not have to complain to your teacher.<br />

4. A tent so you can keep warm and safe.<br />

5. Clothes so you do not have to run around in the<br />

nude<br />

So that’s my choice what is yours<br />

By Brylee.<br />

1.BMX to do stunts and a front flip.<br />

2.Dirt to make jumps.<br />

3.Motrerbike so I can do a back flip.<br />

4A .genie so my wishes come true.<br />

5.A real halo dude so I can use his gun to go hunting to<br />

get food.<br />

By James.<br />

Deserted on An Island<br />

1. (tent)<br />

A tent is a place that you keep safe and warm in.<br />

2. (clothes)<br />

Clothes can keep you safe because they help you survive<br />

by keeping you warm and protected.<br />

3. (food)<br />

I would keep food with me so I can keep my engery and<br />

stay alive.<br />

4. (water)<br />

water is essential, I will need it so I can stay alive, if I<br />

don’t have any I will die.<br />

5. (compass)<br />

I think a compass is a good thing to keep with you<br />

because you will know where you are going if you<br />

want to somewhere.<br />

By Taylah<br />

Deserted on an Island<br />

I was swimming and a wave hit me and I got knocked out<br />

for a minute.<br />

1. On the Island I would take lots of water so I can<br />

survive.<br />

2. I would take a Dog because if I get lost my dog can<br />

find the home.<br />

3. I would take rope just in case I need to climb a tree.<br />

4. Next I would take spear so I can hunt.<br />

5. Also, a tent so I can sleep in it.It would be fun.<br />

By Tiarna<br />

Deserted on an island.<br />

2 Water- So I can drink fresh water.<br />

3 Flying house- So I can live there and fly back to the<br />

city.<br />

to fly up to the clouds and drink the water.<br />

By Bailey<br />

Deserted on an Island<br />

1. I would take a magical wand to magic up anything<br />

I forgot and needed.<br />

2. Maybe a computer, um sorry just daydreaming. I<br />

mean a sleeping bag to keep me warm at night.<br />

Only one week left to collect those SPONSORS for WALK for WiFi Page 7


3. Now let me think… how about food. I will need<br />

food to survive on an island.<br />

4. I don’t want to be without clothes so I think<br />

clothes are defiantly on the list.<br />

5. Last but not least, fresh water because if I have<br />

no fresh water I would probably die from<br />

dehydration. I think that’s all so see you later<br />

alligator don’t forget your toilet paper. Oops I<br />

did forget! At least I brought a magic wand.<br />

By Isabelle<br />

Deserted on an island<br />

1.Unicorn-I’ll take a unicorn with me because it will help<br />

me walk.<br />

2.A fawn is coming with me and do you know why<br />

Because he would help me cook and do stuff .<br />

3.Lion-My lion is coming with me so he could kill animals<br />

and I will share with him.<br />

4.Bowl-taking a bowl with me because I can get water .<br />

5.Toothbrash- the toothbrush will clean my teeth.<br />

By Mackenzie<br />

Deserted on an island.<br />

1. I would take water because it is fresh and you<br />

need lots and lots of it to stay alive.<br />

2. We would take healthy food because it is healthy<br />

for you I would only take a small amount of<br />

unhealthy food.<br />

3. Clothes are good because you can’t be naked.<br />

4. Shoes are good because you can have protection<br />

on your feet.<br />

5. Wood is good because you can make fires to keep<br />

warm and to cook things on it, like fish and<br />

marshmellows and toast.<br />

By Claire<br />

Deserted On An Island<br />

If I was deserted on an island and I could only take five<br />

things I would take a hammock, thick sticks, fishing rod,<br />

esky and a pocket knife.<br />

I would bring a hammock because if I didn’t, I would<br />

have to sleep on the SAND! I mean, it would be more<br />

comfortable in a hammock, right<br />

It would be handy to bring some thick sticks so I could<br />

be nice, toasty and warm at night with a lovely fire right<br />

beside me.<br />

If I brought a fishing rod, I would use it to catch fish<br />

to eat and not starve to death. Because if I didn’t I<br />

would probably die of hunger!<br />

I would take an esky because that way all my fish will<br />

keep cool and they won’t become warm and be yucky.<br />

I’m thinking that if I brought a pocket knife I would use<br />

it to signal a helicopter just in case I really wanted or<br />

needed to get off the island.<br />

So after my talk what do you think you’ll take if you get<br />

stranded on an island<br />

By Olivia<br />

Deserted On An Island<br />

Imagine we are stranded on an island.<br />

1. I would like to bring some food to survive.<br />

2.A Spear so when I run out of food I can hunt for<br />

animals.<br />

3. A Fishing rod to catch fish but I know that it will<br />

take a while.<br />

4. I would want to bring a flying pig so I can relax but<br />

when the pig starts to oink I will punch the<br />

flying pig 100,000,000 times .<br />

5. Jumpers so I am not cold in the winter.<br />

By Ezra<br />
