BOOKCLUB HELPS OUR LIBRARY...

All the books you have been buying through Bookclub have been adding up and the points earned have added up to quite a sum. With these points we've been able to get 48 new books for our library. Thanks to our Bookclub Coordinators, Susan Coleman and Kylie Thomson, who do a great job organising all these book orders for you and your children and now lots of new books for the library...thank you ladies. Here is a list of the books to go in the library....click on it to see a larger copy...

SNAIL STUDIES... The Pre Primary's are excited about studying snails and have lots of them in an aquarium in class. They have been designing snail homes and learning lots of things about them like having eyes on stalks and their feelers can also be called tentacles...


ANZAC BISCUITS... The Year 6/7's have been working hard making lots of ANZAC Biscuits as part of their studies into the ANZAC's. The staff were very tempted to sample some, as they cooled after being taken out of the stove in the staffroom before lunch.






YEAR 1/2's BALANCING ACT... The Year 1/2's have been learning about balancing weights on the Balancing Scales with Mrs Retallack and Ms Wheatley, who have been working closely together with their classes.









AREA NINE 3D SHAPES... Area 9 are learning lots about three dimensional shapes by making 3D structures. Callum and Brendon made a rocket and the class wrote about all the different shapes they had used to make it. Other students have made all sorts of structures and some are still working on theirs.
