What we have been up to...

Grandparents Day

The Preps had a wonderful day doing activities with their special people! Thank you to those who came in, you sure put some big smiles onto their little faces!

 

 

Pevan and Sarah

What a show! The students were enthusiastic and so excited to sing and dance with Pevan and Sarah. 

 

 

Ecolinc

Excursion two for the week was a great success! The theme of the excursion was Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to work with our Term 4 topic of Our Sustainable World. We made worm food and learnt about worm farms, we sorted rubbish into 'reduce, reuse, recycle' and looked at water pollution and how that can effect animals. 

 

 

Fire Safety Education Visit Two 

For the second visit, we got to talk about our Safe Meeting Place Worksheets, learnt about Stop, Drop and Roll, and had a visit to the fire truck. We also got to see the ladder truck and spray the fire hose!
