We have crammed in a lot this week, our class has been super busy and everyone has been doing some fantastic learning.

We chopped up our giant pumpkin and we are giving it away. We have kept some seeds to plant next year as well.

At the start of Term 2 children must be in winter uniform. Uniforms can be bought from our uniform shop. The shop is open Monday at 8.30am, Wednesday at 2.30pm and Friday at 8.30am. On Monday, the first day back in Term 2, it will be open at 8.30pm. I want to make sure our students are wearing the correct uniform in Term 2.

Remember the school uniform shop is also online here. 

Xavier and Kieran did a great job leading prayers and cooking the sausages last week. 

 

Swimming and cooking

It is great to see so many students enjoying our swimming lessons in the pool. The improvement is clear to see, having time with Henk Greupink has made a big difference.  

Today Mr G and a group of students cooked some of the vegetables that were harvested from our gardens. All of the class got to have a little taste. 

Waffle Wednesday with Grandma Gail, combined some cooking maths, writing instructions and eating.

 While we still have some friends away from school it is great to have most of our class regularly at school. Please pray for our friends who are either sick or isolating, it can be difficult to be away from friends for long periods.
