25.01.2022 Matong were busy today working on their logging on skills. They were very patient practising this new skill.

24.01.2022 Matong have been learning about money all week. Today they were able to play shops and buy items.

24.01.2022 I’m super proud of this team of debaters. They worked as a team and sacrificed lunch breaks to learn new arguing skills (sorry parents). They won, one debate and were super close to winning another. They took on board new learning and trusted themselves and each other. I couldn’t have asked for more.

24.01.2022 Balamara finished off their seasons science unit with a coding activity. They had to code the blue bot robots to find the labelled seasons. The also made trees from each season.

22.01.2022 Our wonderful prac student, Miss Fraser, leaves today so we had a class party. It seemed like the perfect time to invite gold reward winner Layla (Kindergarten) to join in the celebrations. As a gold award winner she was able to choose any classroom in the school to spend half an hour visiting. She picked a great room. Thanks Miss Fraser and thanks Layla.

19.01.2022 Yesterday Myaree participated in an outdoors lesson on trust as part of our PDHPE unit this term. The students enjoyed a trust exercise of directing a blindfolded partner around the COLA. Some students placed all their trust in their partner and some students were not so sure..... Miss Fellows was very amused!
