Team Highlights:

In Hub 15/16 we have been focusing on writing descriptions about a special person in our life. We have been learning about writing great sentences that include specific details and some interesting describing words.

Here's the snippets from some of our stories.

My sister Mya is an extremely good cook because she makes delicious and amazing chocolate chip cookies.     Lily W

Mum gets as angry as a bull when she doesn't get coffee in the morning.   Jazmine

My Dad is super energetic because he can bike forty kilometres like a professional cyclist.   Sam

My big sister is the world's best person to me because she doesn't spend all her time on devices like my brothers!   Emma

My brother is always getting up to mischief because he never listens to instructions.   Greer

My cousins are extremely cute because they go around saying, “What’s your peculiar talent?” Then they spin around.    Tristan

My nana has brown freckles on her wobbly legs.   Ava          

My cat Beetle is as fluffy as a cloud and I like cuddling her silky fur.   Leon

My young Dad is very funny because he tells me good jokes and makes me laugh.     Mason 

My cousin Paxton is so funny because he goes around saying “I’m a lion and my name is Jeffrey.”  Kobe

My mum Tania is lovely because if you are sad she’ll make you happy by talking about it.   Lily S

YR5/6 Science Fair

The YR5/6 Team showed off their science talents this week with a science fair in the hall.

There were loads of amazing experiements on show to other classes and to parents as well!

NEST+1

Nest +1 had a very enjoyable Mid Winter Activity afternoon on Tuesday.  A huge thanks to all parents and grandparents that joined us for the afternoon, the children had a ball.

 Another highlight of the term was our Cross Country. This was a wonderful way for our children to show perseverance and to be resolute, especially on all our practice runs. We were very proud that they stepped up and strived for their personal best.
