A message from our Enviro Leaders - From Jasmin and Briana:

Mr G has met with the Environment Group and discussed our worm farm and how the worms are starving.  We brainstormed and have decided that we could have a food scrap bin at school to collect food scraps for the worms.  The bins will be placed around the school next week. Please look at the picture to see what the worms can and cannot eat.

Thank you.

Week 8 Learning

 Lots of projects happening this week in Room 2. You'll enjoy the photos. I've been so proud of the kids working pretty independently this week as I have been out two days on Classroom Teacher Release and Management Release. 

The projects will all be finished for you to come and have a look at on Monday of the last week of term.

Thanks to all the students who played a part in mass today. I was so proud of you and I received lots of lovely comments from teachers (and Mr.Macmillan) about how well you spoke.

Week 7 Learning

 Another busy week this week. It was lovely to finish with a mufti day today. The assembly announcement about production next term generated lots of interest. It's going to be exciting to see this develop. Start practicing your singing and moves for auditions in week 9.

We are enjoying toast and spreads in the mornings. Thanks, Mr. Macmillian for organising this for our classes.

I hope you enjoy our photos, there are lots of maths photos this week.
