The Grade 3/4 students have been busy settling back into their normal routine after all the excitement of the school concert. However, this sense of normality won’t last long, as we kick off our swimming program this coming week! Students are heading to the Nunawading Swimming Pool each day for the next eight days and are already showing great enthusiasm and energy.

One routine we’ve managed to keep consistent over the past few weeks is our Kitchen/Garden program, which the students absolutely love. 3/4C were especially excited to welcome students from Blackburn High, who joined them to create some delicious dishes together. We feel very fortunate to have this wonderful partnership with our local high school.

After we waited and waited……we finally started to head up to the stage! My heart raced THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! The curtains slowly went up and the song started playing . I slowly got into my starting pose and slowly started to lift my hand like a robot to the beat. When we were done my heart rate went down THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Emily 3/4C

There I was standing at the door, I cautiously opened it, it was locked, a chill went down my spine, questions bubbled up in my head, just as I was going to ask for assistance, the door silently opened, a sigh of relief blew across my face.
