Back from Camp

What a wonderful camp we had! The rain held off so we were able to take part in almost all our activities (and a few managed to get on the bikes) We played Ga Ga. We rode the Flying Fox. We swung in the Giant Swing. We made new friends. I’m guessing you’ve already heard…

Woah, we have been busy this term! Yesterday we have our final expo for our inquiry unit. The kids were confident and knowledgable, sharing all they had found out about their convict, officer of the first fleet or indigenous person.
