Buddy Class

We had a great time yesterday when we met up with our buddies from room 20. The students in room 20 are designing a diorama representing either a park, farm or city. We worked alongside them during the afternoon to support them with their planning stage. We were very impressed with the wonderful ideas from our buddies. They were very creative. We are now looking forward to meeting with them soon to help make their dioramas.

End of Term 1

Room 25 completed Term 1 in a wonderful way. We took part in the ANZAC service, won the Literacy Pro award and won an Italian award. It was an exciting way to end our first term. The ANZAC ceremony was beautiful. Congratulations to everyone involved. 

The choir did an amazing job. It brought a tear to our eyes.

Well done Joshua, McKenna and Keegan who won the Merit Awards at the end of Term 1. 

Harmony Day

Harmony Day is a national observance that celebrates Australia’s cultural, linguistic and religious diversity on March 21 every year.

Everybody looked amazing today to celebrate Harmony Day. The school looked so colourful. Some children dressed in traditional dress. Thank you to all parents for your support.

The students took part in a parade in the morning. It gave everybody the chance to see a variety of costumes and flags and listen to music from around the world. 

We are extremely fortunate to live in such a wonderful country with so many different cultures. 

Happy Harmony Day from Room 25

Creating Ciicuits

We had an great time this afternoon creating a variety of circuits. Thank you to Mr Sanderson for allowing us to borrow these amazing kits. We had to work hard with our group to make bulbs light, buzzers make a noise and even get vehicles to move. 

Buddy Class

Room 25 met their buddies today from Room 20, Year 1. We got to know our new friends and shared ideas ready for Harmony Day tomorrow. We look forward to meeting our buddy class very soon.
