Grade 1 & 2 Mini Camp Adventure

Our Grade 1 and 2 students had an absolutely fantastic time at their Mini Camp Adventure! The evening was filled with excitement, laughter, teamwork and plenty of opportunities to make special memories with friends.

The children took on the challenge of 'Saving Luke the Lion', working in teams to design and build the tallest possible tower that could safely hold Luke the Lion on top! There was lots of creativity, problem-solving and encouragement as the teams put their building skills to the test.

We also enjoyed a lively Kahoot quiz, where students put their knowledge to the test and competed in some friendly competition. Another highlight was our cupcake decorating activity, which allowed everyone to get creative and design their very own delicious masterpiece!

Of course, no mini camp would be complete without sharing a special dinner together and enjoying the excitement of staying at school after hours. It was wonderful to see the children embracing every activity, supporting one another and making the most of this special experience.

A big thank you to all the staff who helped make our Mini Camp Adventure such a memorable evening. Our little campers certainly made the most of it!

3/4 Sage - Poetry

Heze	The crocodile Crocodiles are sometimes rough Crocodiles are really tough Now this croc has had enough!	Thomas	The Snow Leopard He sprints like a cheetah on the snowy hill; He springs at his prey and starts to kill, Soon he starts to eat… ….then chill.
Harry	Turtles The turtles shell is a hard rock Something gives him a really big knock Oh my goodness it was a croc Gliding through the water, he's fast! The ocean is so big and vast He's like a gunshot, flying past!	Dylan	The Hawk He flies up high in the nighttime sky; circling like a super spy, Until he hears a startling cry. He looks down to see his prey; trying to scramble away, the hawk soon lands and rests at bay.
Alexandros	The puma A puma is scary and fearful; His legs and body are so powerful, Like an artist, he’s really careful. On four strong legs, he scratches and claws; his prey gets crushed by jaws, he sees his prey and silently gnaws.	Samantha	DOLPHINS! Deep in the ocean, dolphins swim fast; you’ll rarely see them jumping past, in a race, they’ll never come last. A dolphin swims so easily, splashing around, they look so free, and food would make them very happy.
Will	The Great Eagle. My animal poem. He sees his prey with sharpened eyes; So he takes to the open skies, Shrouded in clouds, he’s in disguise. He spots a rustle from far away; and attacks when it looks in dismay, He has conquered his newfound prey.	Aubrey	The Wolf Deep within the woods he lay, There is an animal black and grey, A shadow hunter pounces his prey. When he finds his prey it darts, Frightened by the wolf’s great smarts, The poor bunny is ripped apart!
Evelyn	The Polar Bear Waiting as patient as can be; The polar bear sits silently, Protecting its cubs, fearfully. Deep within the arctic snow; As playful as puppies resting low, Hiding so that no one would know.	Poppy	Miner As grey as storm clouds; as aggressive as thunder bolts the miner bird stands. As yellow as the sun; as protective as a lion, he stops and perches, to watch the world, where he now stands.
Jimmy	Capybaras Capybaras have no tail, through the town they weep and wail, turning water taps without fail. It steals its food, like a racoon, it’s super smart, like a baboon, he wanders under the big bright moon.	Alexandra	The Eagle An Eagle, on a mountain high, Starts to circle and circle in the sky. With beady eyes it looks down at its prey, Lands, kills, then chills at bay.
Michael	The Pelican The Pelican flies in the clear blue sky; It hunts like an eagle while food swims by, Catching its prey for the nighttime fry.	Lachlan	THE BLACK PANTHER! The panther walks with gentle paws; He strikes with his enormous jaws, And kills with his ferocious claws. Before bedtime he cleans his fur; He gives a loud and scary purr, And like a bear, he’s hard to stir.
