Welcome to Friday – Our last day of Term 3

Moon Lantern Festival Assembly

What a wonderful celebration! The hall was full of creativity and colour as the whole school displayed an amazing variety of lanterns.

AND…. our classes won the prize for the best class display – Reception/Year 1 – YAY!

Holidays

What a wonderful term of learning we have shared together. The children have continued to build upon their knowledge and understandings across all curriculum areas through their positive approach to learning. Our days are filled with learning and laughing, helping and guiding, caring and collaborating. The children have continued to developed the important disposition for learning, which include leadership, problem solving and risk taking. We are so proud of each child’s achievements this term.

We would also like to thank all the parents for their support throughout the term.

Today we went to the library to borrow some new books ready for the holidays. Please enjoy sharing these books each day of the holidays to consolidate your child’s literacy learning. Your child might also like to do some book making over the holidays.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday and we look forward to see you all next term.
