Cheesecake and Congratulations!
Late News! Cheesecake Time.
On the 16th of November, Masterchef Zaphira kindly cooked two different types of cheesecake to sell at school. She made Salted Caramel and Unicorn flavours and sold them at break times to lucky customers. They were delicious! Zaphira and her mum generously donated most of the profits to the Student Representative Council. Thank you for your kindness! (Sorry Zaphira! I forgot to put this in earlier...)
Award Day
The 25th of November was a very special day at Larnook PS, because this was the day we celebrated the children's achievements over the year. (Sadly, due to COVID, we could not invite families.)
These awards are given to children who show not just talent in a particular area, but enthusiasm and commitment as well. They may be consistently kind and helpful to others (so important!) or show leadership and initiative. There may have been an improvement in an academic area or an outstanding talent in some activity. Many staff members and visiting teachers were involved in selecting the winners to ensure we were fair in our decisions.
These awards are given a lot of consideration and are only given out to the most deserving person. Congratulations to all recipients this year. A winner was (mostly) chosen from each class.
