24.01.2022 Prep A are working hard on making ‘growing patterns’ in their Maths groups. Wonderful creativity!

23.01.2022 This term we wrote a narrative in Year 2B using the character Bluey. We had so much fun creating this narrative. This week we have been busy turning our narrative into a comic. We knew that Mrs Baumgart loved Bluey as much as we did and so presented to her our completed Bluey narratives and Bluey comics. She loved them! Here is a photo of Mrs Baumgart in our classroom giving us great feedback about our English learning. Thank you, Mrs Baumgart, for visiting our room and being a great audience for our texts.

23.01.2022 Year 3C have been working diligently to improve their spelling accuracy. Here they are engaging in spelling activities that cover and encourage a variety of learning styles. Year 3C loves making the words out of play-dough, match-sticks, paddle- pop sticks and magnetic letters.

All those sleepless nights was worth it for the happy kids!! Thank you also to the other staff who gave up time with their own families to attend camp! It’s a big ask (especially at the end of the year) but very much appreciated.
