24.01.2022 The Christmas Elf was funny and sneaky. When we were out at recess he had moved and we found him hanging from our self portraits. He even joined us for quiet meditation. We think he will be very calm and relaxed for the next class. From 2H

21.01.2022 This term in Science, Year 5 have been learning about why characteristics of materials are important when designing and producing. Students were challenged to create a floating oil rig that would be able to withstand large waves, wind and storms. We look forward to seeing which oil rigs survived all these conditions.

14.01.2022 Today the Christmas started his week of surveillance by spending a day in 5I. He began his day by keeping an eye on the students as they completed their spelling activities looking for students who showed kindness. In the afternoon he assisted the students with coding the micro bits. The Christmas elf was a great help sharing his experience from working with Santa and the other elves in the North Pole on creating algorithms for new robotic toys.

13.01.2022 Congratulations to Leo in 1M as this fortnight's Mission and Vision Star. This week, our award is focusing on Fairness. This involves how our Mission and Vision Star is fair to other students on the playground and in the classroom.

12.01.2022 Yesterday, the Christmas Elf made a special visit to Year 3. The children were under elf surveillance all day. The Christmas Elf joined in our writing lesson and was so impressed with their writing skills. He even asked if some of the students could come to the North Pole to help Santa with his letter reading. Throughout the day he was very busy and kept the children on their toes as he turned up in different places around the classroom! He had so much fun playing Uno.

07.01.2022 Tinsel the Elf spent a busy day in 4T. He was a very busy elf and a little mischievous at times. Tinsel insisted on joining us for sport, we couldn't refuse because he was being silly hanging from the bushes and climbing trees. He played tunnel ball and captain ball with us. Tinsel was also very busy judging the Talent Quest Auditions, which were great! He also spotted some lovely 4T students being kind. We are sad to see you move on to another class Tinsel, thank you for brightening our day.

07.01.2022 Today we were pleased to welcome 10 new Kindergarten 2021 students to school today. They all enjoyed their first day at BIG school - making new friends, meeting their teachers and enjoying some time together. We look forward to seeing you all again in the new year Kindies!
