Early Term 2 we will have a visit from author & illustrator Dr Cameron Stelzer. We are currently reading several of his books in our library lessons. They are very entertaining.
Year 6 have been working on designing a commemorative sticker for ANZAC Day this year. This is part of a competition being run by Koori Kids, focused on developing a greater understanding and awareness of the importance of respect on ANZAC Day. The students have been researching ANZAC Day to decide what symbols and message is appropriate for their designs. These will be submitted by the end of term.
Book Club 2 is open for orders. Please login on the Scholastic website to place your order. Orders close on the 24th March 2023.
I have registered new students to the challenge and handed out log ins. If your child would like to join in, and they haven't participated before, please etell them to come and see me in the library. If your child has participated before they can simply us their old log in.
