Junior School News

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Wow have we been busy in Junior School! We have sadly said goodbye to William, who is moving house down to Geelong. But as one leaves, another arrives and it is a huge hello to yet another Abby in Junior School. We hope Abby settles in well, she is already making lots of great new friends. 

Our students have been busy doing lots of tests, reading records and written pieces ready for report writing and wrapping up the end of the year. They have been amazingly resilient and taking all the testing in their stride. 

We still have 3 weeks left of school and plenty to do in that time.....and hopefully some fun too to celebrate the end of the year! 

Upcoming Excursion

So in the last week of term we have our end of year excursion. If you child will not be here in the last week, please let us know so we can finalise all the plans and catering. We will be heading off to Chirnside to play mini golf and then off to Lilydale lake for a BBQ lunch. If the weather is warm, students can bring a towel and can run around in the water park there. If you are able to help as a parent helper, please chat to your child's teacher. 

Writing:

We have been learning all about transactional writing in the last few weeks. Writing letters has become such an old fashioned thing to do. We wrote letters to someone we like and told them things about ourselves and then asked 2 questions. Invitations were next. We designed an invitation to our next birthday party and then some other sort of event. Next week we are looking at creating a poster to convince someone to buy a new chocolate bar that we designed ourselves. This has been a fun couple of weeks in writing!!
