I hope that you have enjoyed your first week of holidays and that it has been a relaxing time with your family.

I would like to thank students for the way that they have worked in the first semester. They have faced challenges with determination and kept stretching their brains throughout the different lessons. They have developed their skills to be expert learners and have been open to work alongside each other. I have appreciated the way that they have taught and challenged me as their teacher – we certainly were life-long learners together!

I am thankful for the support received from you as parents. Thank you for your open communication and for allowing me to work with you to support your child.

Thank you for all your well-wishes. I look forward to visiting CLG when the newest Johnston arrives!

Students have developed their oral skills through two different presentations. What quality of work was seen! They all developed in confidence as they spoke and presented on their topics. Certainly a highlight for the last half of this term!

After a busy and productive term learning about celebrations and commemorations, students had the opportunity to plan, develop and experience their own celebration. As a group of teaching staff we have been impressed with how students developed their inquiry skills and demonstrated the expert learner qualities throughout this unit.

This term in Science we have been investigating the relationship between the Sun, Earth and Moon. We made new videos to show our understanding of:
*what causes day and night
*the movements of the Earth
*how long it takes the Earth to rotate and orbit
Then we predicted what is happening while the Earth is orbiting the Sun.
