What we have been up to...
Cross Country
It was wonderful to see our grade 1 and 2 students have wonderful time at Cross Country on Monday. We saw many displays of our school values during this event. Thank you to the many families who were able to attend on the day to show their support!
After reading Jeannie Baker's book 'Where the Forest Meets the Sea' last week, students had the opportunity on Friday to explore collage (just like Jeannie's illustrations) whilst completing a creative response to the text.
