From the Classroom

Year 4 Kinder visit

In Week 3, the Year 4 students engaged in a community event when attending Murrindal Kindergarten. This activity linked with the current Year 4 Civics and Citizenship Integrated topic, where students are learning about various organisations in the local community, their function, governance and purpose. The students thoroughly enjoyed participating in games, puzzles, craft and reading activities. This was a great opportunity to practise being a Buddy next year.
