Preps and Year 6 Buddies
The Prep students learnt the sound “ar” and had fun learning the word “car”. We have a wonderful time with our Year 6 Buddies every Wednesday afternoon and it made sense to plan, build and “drive” our own cars. With the help of some cardboard boxes, paper plates, string, coloured paper and lots of sticky tape, we loved the finished products. Even the Year 6s enjoyed “driving” the cars around the school playground on a beautiful, sunny afternoon!

Year 1 Helping The Preps
Year 1L students recently had the wonderful opportunity to read to Prep S students.
Year 1L students created flip books of the story "Jack and the Beanstalk". Each student put great effort into their own story of Jack and the Beanstalk!
Year 1L students thanked Prep S for being such lovely listeners.

Year 1 Writing
The Year 1 students worked on some procedural writing on how to make a raft. They then enjoyed following their steps on how to make it.

Year 4 Pilgrims Progress
Year 4 shared the story of Pilgrims Progress in the Junior school assembly. We have been reading the book and the students acted out the amazing story of staying on God’s path to reach eternity. They explored how in life we might get persuaded to turn from God’s way and detour from God’s path. Year 4 shared Proverbs 3:5-6. The classes choreographed their own songs and Mrs Metcalfe put the tune to it. What a lovely message from Year 4.
You can read along to the lyrics for the 2 songs here:
Strong as a Lion by 4C
Little Christian, on a hard journey
Determined to get to the King’s City
But don’t worry, God will never leave you,
He loves you so much that he’ll send Help to help you
Follow your heart and you will find the glory,
Your God will be waiting for you.
God will be with you in all circumstances,
Always be with you.
Chorus
I am as strong as a lion,
I feel like steel or iron
Because God is with me and I have faith in him
I walk through the dark, until I find your love
And now I have courage, and now I am strong
And I know you love me, and I believe in you.
My heart on God is steadfast
we all know that together
We trust your Holy Spirit and in your Holy Name
But once we enter the Kingdom our sins we be forgiven
And we will have eternal Life
Never give up no matter how hard the journey may be
Stay on the right path, don’t be lured by temptation
Make the right choice
Listen to the Lord
Chorus
If God is on your side no one can defeat you
And you can walk with pride ‘cause he is by your side
And he can conquer death, and he can conquer death.
Doors open to the light where God is waiting
He was crucified in the name of the Lord
He’s always been there for us and he is here
He’ll never leave us in the dark, but always be the light.
Chorus
Friends, Monsters and Dragons by 4V
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And admire all of God’s art
God will make your paths straight
So throw away your hate
The Lord will make your paths straight
He will guide you through the toughest of times
He will guide you through the valley
To where you belong
Friends, monsters and dragons as you travel
Friends, monsters and dragons as you travel
Friends, monsters and dragons as you travel all day long
Believe in the Lord with all your soul and mind
And think not of your own understanding
Love him with all your heart
And he will keep your path straight forever
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
Don’t get filled with hate or sorrow
He created the mountains, he created the sea,
He created the heavens and he created me
Friends, monsters and dragons as you travel
Friends, monsters and dragons as you travel
Friends, monsters and dragons as you travel all day long
