FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH

Thank you to all the families who shared in our assemblies last Thursday and Friday.  It was lovely to get together to share great learning from all the classrooms.  For families unable to attend check out the couple of photos of the then to now of our new learning space, such a difference.

Next week is the annual winter carnival and we congratulate Ruby R from grade 6 who was selected for the netball team.  All the best Ruby.

We have a busy next few weeks with Science Week next week and Book Week in week 6. We also have St Johns coming out on 23^rd August to run their First Aid in Schools program with each of our classes.

Today we were very lucky to have 3 young scientists visit our 3 older classrooms to share their experiences.  It is always great to hear of such varied opportunities for study and careers available to our students in the future.  We heard from Karla who is a geologist, Lachy who is a medical researcher and Alex who is a zoologist.

Next week many of our classes will be taking part in online science sessions run by UTAS, which will be yet another opportunity to better understand where an interest in science can lead you.

BOOK WEEK 2021

All classes have been enjoying the sharing of the shortlisted books for this year.  These books will be available for all students to borrow from the library after Book Week. 

As part of this week, where we celebrate amazing authors and the joys of getting lost in books, we have an open morning for all families on Wednesday 25^th August from 8:30 am – 10:00 am. As in previous years the library will be open from 8:30 am until 9:00 am with opportunities to read the short-listed books and do an activity with your child.  From 9:00 am until 10:00 am everyone is invited to visit their child’s classroom and work with them on all the amazing literacy focused activities happening.  Any amount of time you can give during this time is always appreciated by your children.

As usual there will be the coffee van from 8:15 am to grab yourself a nice warm drink.

THANK YOU

A big thank you to Isla's dad Mark who very kindly delivered some tree stumps for our students to use to further develop their imaginitive play.  We would love more if anyone else can help us out.
