Year 5/6 - Newsletter

Dear 5/6  Parents

What a fantastic week the year 6’s had at camp. The weather was perfect, the cabins were almost spotless and the dance moves were creative! We hope your children had an amazing time and have recounted their adventures to you.

The year 5's had a great week at school. They are almost finished with NAPLAN and are to be commended for their attitude and focus as they have completed the testing.
