New - Italian in Grades 1 & 2
In Term 2 Italian lessons the grades 1 and 2 students have been using Italian greetings. They have communicated with the teacher and their peers through action related talk and play. Signorina Thompson has been very proud of the effort and enthusiasm shown by her classes.
New - Grade 6 Book Reports
Over the last few weeks in Grade 6 we have been reading the picture book ‘Free Diving’ during literacy. It is a tribute to the Aboriginal men and women who worked in the pearling industry as ‘free divers’ in the late nineteenth century in Western Australia.
Students have written a book report outlining a summary of the book as well as their personal opinion.
We had lots of fun putting together our book reports and using our creativity!
New - Essendon AFLW Players Visited
Last Wednesday we were lucky to have visitors from #AFLW #EssendonAFLW
Sophie Alexander, Maddy Prespakis and Georgia Gee spoke with our Grade 5 &6's.
The students asked questions about the players football careers, including where they came from and what their current goal tally is.
It was lovely to hear from the players, who commented on how polite and respectful our students were during the session and when adressing the players.
Thanks for inspiring our future generation!
