Term 4 – Week 6

Welcome to Week 6 everyone. We are now halfway through the term and have so much more to look forward to in the last half of this term. I am away this week (Monday-Thursday) in Brisbane for Professional Development. While I am away, Mrs Savill will be at Moonie Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
