ANZAC  DAY


On Monday April 25, as a school, we will once again participate in the ANZAC Day march. We therefore invite any interested students who are willing to march and represent the school to please gather on ANZAC Day in full school uniform with HAT. We advise that sunscreen should be applied prior to attending the march.
At 9.45am, we will meet on the grassed area at Blackwell Street, just near the Greenbank RSL. We will then lead the march at 10.00am and participate in the memorial service which will begin at 10.30am, at the completion of the march. The service will conclude no later than 11.00am. We would love as many students as possible to come along and march as we remember those who have served our country in the armed forces. We look forward to seeing you all there.

We ask that you do not mark the children's sight word books.  We will mark the books each we when we work with the children each week.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Unit Work


 This week we dove into our first Habitat - the Ocean!  The children helped to make and design an ocean habitat in our room.  We also investigated our first animal, a fish.  We discussed where it lives in the habitat and what it eats. 



Religion


We havecontinued to explore the Parable of 'The Ten Leppers' and discussed the message of the story is to be thankful.  We have also discussed that is important to include others and to not make others feel left our or less important, which is how Leppers felt in Jesus' day.   We roled played how to include others and what we could do if we felt excluded.









Our Value this week is Gratitude.
