Specialists

The Specialist Teachers have been running a class challenge! We have been looking for a class that is working as a team, showing respect and doing their personal best!

The purpose of this challenge is to acknowledge and reward the positive effort and behaviour that we see each day!

A big congratulations to 5A!!! They are the winners of our first challenge. 5A will be treated to a one hour session of games in the gym and an icy-pole!!!

Keep up the great work everyone. We look forward to treating our next winning grade!

This week students have enjoyed learning and singing ‘Sepuluh Botol Hijau’ (10 Green Bottles). They particularly liked the part where they got to be the falling bottle. Ask your child to sing the song to you! 😊 With the sun shining, we made the most of getting outside for a game that helped us learn the vocabulary for classroom objects.

Grade 6 students have been busy making their own booklets about their daily activities. They had the opportunity to share their booklet with our Preps! The Preps enjoyed listening to the Grade 6 students read to them and learning new words.
