Term 2 began as you know with so many public holidays and events. For this reason, we have been attacking work as hard as possible, and the children have risen to meet the challenge.

In HASS we have been looking at Celebrations and Commemorations and how we use symbols to represent occasions and special places and events. Children have chosen a celebration type each and will present a slideshow on this after week 6.

After a slow start, our speaking program has gained momentum and is really showing positive and promising results with increases in confidence, commitment, imagination and of course public speaking skills. Thanks to all of our families for the help given in this regard. I feel this will be so very good for them.

In ENGLISH we have focused on information texts and so far, we have looked at recipes, posters and project presentations, we have also learnt to properly make a list and to label a diagram. There is much more to do in this genre.

Almost every student has settled into a neat and legible handwriting script and this is very pleasing.

It was fun to cook basil pesto with spaghetti when looking at Italy and to make and eat ANZAC biscuits. Cross-country was a wonderful, fun event and we totally enjoyed that.

The children did a splendid job at the assembly which made me proud. They celebrated National Safely Walk to School Day 2025.

Thank you for your continual communications and questions and suggestions. I really appreciate all your efforts and interest.
