Selamat Siang 

What an exciting week filled with lots of fun events. Ending our week last week was the much anticipated Year 2 Sleepover. 

Here is an article written by Malia in 1/2H:

Last Friday Grade Two students took over MPRPS for a whole night! Friday to Saturday, that must be a lot of work for the teachers to organise. At 5:00pm Grade 2 students gathered in the hall where they set up their sleeping bags, pillows and mattresses. Everyone enjoyed a delicious sausage. After dinner we did fun activities. Some of the activities were: parachute with balls, board games/Lego, photo framing and colouring. We all got to eat ice cream after yummy! Finally we went back into the hall to get ready for the movie. Grade 2s had such a fun time and are ready for Year 3 camp!

This week we also had the opportunity to attend the World of Maths incursion which has been a long-time favourite event held at MPRPS. Students were able to participate various problem solving activities collaboratively. Thank you to those who came to volunteer their time to help the incursion run smoothly.

We hope you have a fantastic week,

Mrs Hirvonen, Mrs Seadon, Mrs Moroney, Miss Molloy, Mrs Danes, Mrs Martin and Mr Jenkins
