All In Sports Camp

Today the Grade 2s had an opportunity to participate in some fun games! All In Sports Camp are running a 2 day program where parents can book their child in during the school holidays. The children brought home a flyer with all the information about this experience. 

Grade 2 Inquiry

Over the course of the term the Grade Twos have been learning all about Simple Machines and have worked in groups to create their very own Rube Goldberg machines! Check out the photos below!

Grade 2 Science Excursion

This is a friendly reminder that on Monday 16th September the Grade 2 students will be attending Scienceworks. Final payments are due by Monday 9th September. The Grade 2 teachers are asking that students be dropped off to school at 8:45am to ensure we have enough time to arrive there. Children are required to be in full school uniform and bring a small named backpack with their snack, lunch and drink bottle. 

No Trading at school

It has come to our attention that students are trading Pokemon cards, Disney cards among other things. This has been and is causing friendship fires and as a result Grade 2s are no longer allowed to trade anything at school. It is also highly encouraged that student's are not bringing in personal items from home such as toys, as you can imgaine it is very challenging for the teachers to try and keep an eye to ensure the safety of these precious items. Thank you for your understanding of this. 

We hope you have a great weekend! :)
