Term 4 Week 7: 16 November 2021
From the Principal...
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
Welcome to week 7.
The year is racing to a close. The students are completing final assessments, teachers are writing report cards and the school is preparing for the end of year activities.
Next week we will collate the invitations to the Rite of passage and send out any additional tickets that are available. We will also go through the Chromebook purchase slips and prepare these. Please keep an eye out for additional emails and notes home.
Mrs Greenaway has been popping in to keep abreast of the plans for 2022. She is getting excited to not only be returning to work, but also exploring a new role within the school. The students are convinced we are setting up the library as a creche for Willow. Bless their hearts.
Please take note of the 'What's On' column as we have heaps happening in the next three weeks.

Year 3/4 Happenings...
We have been working hard on our science assessments, which were to create a game that used magnets. Students showed their understanding of magnetic and gravitational forces to make creative games for eachother to play. They also needed to explain how their game was safe and fair for all players.
