Grade 1 & 2

September

Swimming

It has been a great two weeks of swimming. All the students have done an amazing job managing the bus, bringing their swimming gear, undressing and organising their school uniforms, swimming, getting dressed and packing up all their wet clothing, getting back on the bus and then back to school. Students have developed confidence in the water and learnt some life saving skills.

Books to Life

We had our annual Books to Life program this week. Each year a short listed book is chosen and the company perform a play based on the book. This years book "Being Indy" by Zoe Gaetjens is a beautiful book about trying to fit in and discovering the true worth of being yourself. All students from Prep to Grade 6 were mesmorised by the actor and were eager to volunteer to help act out parts of the story.

Term Reflections

Book week. I won the parade and it was a nice certificate. I dressed up as Cinderella. It was a very pretty costume.

 The school disco was the best disco ever because I got to go with Rhilee. On athletics day it was so so so much fun because I got to have my pajama pants on but people kept thinking that I was in the blue color.

We are doing swimming for two weeks it is so much fun I was in group 2. My coach  is Matt.  I am very excited for the school holidays because I get to go for a  two hour  drive to go to my aunty's  house and I get to sleep in  their caravan. The fathers day stall was the best  and  my  dad could finally come to the fathers day breakfast. Finally we were learning the bossy e sounds and shapes. By Willow

Swimming was great,I had the best teacher he was called Matt, we did freestyle, backstroke, survival backstroke, torpedo and soldier kick. In athletics I came second twice in running, I did long jump, shotput and discus. My favourite activity was runing. I liked watching the preps dress up for 100 days of school. I loved dressing up as a peregrine falcon for book week, and we also had a parade, it was fun. We also did activities, one of them was making kites. We had the fathers day breakfast and stall. We got to write stories and our buddies got to help type it up. The school disco was also really fun. I’m excited for the books to life guy to come and act out a book today.
