Comin up in Term 4...

Term 3

What a term it has been! The Year 5 and 6 students have experienced a jam-packed term full of learning and extra-curricular events.

In this edition of our newsletter, we are showcasing our students through images of our amazing production The Wizard that Was.

The senior students lead the school as the main cast for our production. The build up to this event was extensive with students auditioning, learning lines, stage positions, songs and dances. We acknowledge the resilience and persistence demonstrated by all to bring this show to life.

Not only have we explored our mentor text Wonder by RJ Palacio this term, but students have also engaged in their own fictional and non-fiction texts. Books were brought to life as we celebrated Book Week with the senior students representing Year5/6 at our whole school parade.

We thank families for partnering with us as senior teachers throughout another very busy term and look forward to completing the school year with the same enthusiasm shown throughout Term 1-3.

Enjoy a safe and relaxing Spring break!
