It has been a very different start to the term with students working both from home and at school.

We have been writing narratives about the topics 'The rain is pouring down' and 'Under the Sea'. Students have been using their imagination to create some great stories!

In mathematics 3/4 have been learning about graphing and place value. Students surveyed the class to find out their favourite pet. Next week we are looking at time.

Below are a couple of photos of students completing the sight word activity game.

Miss Visser

Class 1/2H

Thank you to everyone who returned their Home Learning packs. Week 3 packs are now available to be picked up at the office.

This term in writing, students are keeping a journal. They are enjoying writing about their daily happenings and about the Corona Virus.

Karen Bradley was very busy at the end of last term as she made a class batch of play dough for 1/2H. The students have enjoyed using it for fine motor activities and number and letter formations.

Stay safe.

It has been wonderful to see majority of our students wearing full school uniform each day.

We encourage you to continue to support our uniform policy by making sure your child is dressed in full school uniform on a daily basis.

You can purchase uniforms from our school office.
