Assembly

It was fabulous Monday morning, to have a good group of parents join us for our Assembly. The F-2 students rendition of Old MacDonald had a Ford was entertaining, the words were said quickly and then they had actions to go with them! Please note, next week will be a whole school assembly, all parents and friends are invited.

Book Recommendation

Sam recommended “The Clockwork Dragon” by James R Hannibal. He describes it as a Science Fiction book with adventure and mystery. It is set in the Library of Spooks, London and the Ministry of Trackers. The main characters are Jack, Gwen and his Mum and Dad. Jack and Gwen are on a quest to find ‘the mind’ made by paracceisus so Jack could get his Dad out of a coma. Ball (a spook) did somethine to Jack’s Dad. Sam recommends it for Year 5 to 7 and rates it 5 stars.

Late Stay and Sleep Over

Next Monday students in F-2 will remain behind after school. The Foundation and Year 1 students will stay late, while the Year 2 students will sleep over. Permission forms have been sent home, we trust everyone will return them promptly to allow us to prepare. Mrs Fahey and Mrs Judd have some exciting activities planned. It will certainly be a night full of fun.

Around the classrooms

In Digital Technologies this term, Year 5 and 6 students have been familiarising themselves with Scratch. They have animated a name, learnt to use video sensing, then they have made a clicker game, a chase game and this week was their favourite, they made a pong game.
