Buddies

On Friday 13th May, we completed a Scavenger Hunt with our Buddies. Our Buddies thought it was really hard, but really fun! Then afterwards, when we finished the Scavenger Hunt, we read with our Buddies.

Grandparents And Special Friends Day

On Friday the 20th of May we had Grandparents and Special Friends Day. We had a lovely and fun assembly with our grandparents and special friends. Lyndal did an amazing speech on who all of her special friends are and how they have impacted her life. Before that, Mrs Hartley welcomed everyone who is a grandparent or special friend! After that, we went into the classrooms; all of our special friends and grandparents came in with us. We did an activity; the activity was flowers! In the middle of the flower it said, “I like (or love) my…” then you would write who it was, and each flower petal had something we loved about them on it. That was lots of fun. After that, all the grandparents and special friends went and had morning tea with all of the students. We had a great time eating morning tea! At the start of recess, Lyndal, Taffy the therapy dog and lots of other students had a big race! Lots of the grandparents and special friends came and played with us and we all had an amazing time. Then Lyndal took the people who did not have a grandparent or a special friend here for a walk around the oval. We all played until the recess bell went and our grandparents went home, but overall we had such a good time.
