Year 2 Students Welcome Special Visitors!
As part of our HASS unit on significant people and places, our Year 2 students had the privilege of welcoming two very important guests into our classroom—our principal, Mrs. Stevens, and Head of Primary, Mr. Stevens!
During the visit, the students skilfully posed open-ended questions, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the roles and responsibilities of both Mrs. and Mr. Stevens within our school and local community. Through thoughtful discussion, the students not only learned about leadership in a school setting but also got to know our wonderful principal and deputy principal a little better.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to Mrs. and Mr. Stevens for taking the time to share their experiences and insights with us. A special congratulations also goes to our Year 2 students, who demonstrated fantastic speaking and listening skills throughout the visit. Their curiosity, confidence, and engagement made this a truly meaningful and enjoyable learning experience!

What’s Happening in the Music Room with Mrs Ivers
Prep - Singing Voices
Our youngest muso’s are practicing singing a variety of songs to support their understanding of various musical elements. This week we focused on singing our own name using ‘Mrs Bumblebee’. She helps build confidence in our own singing voices whilst also bouncing on our laps to keep a steady beat.
Year 2 - Creating rhythm patterns with paddle pop sticks
This week we worked out which rhythms matched the words in the song “Dinah”. The students needed to know how to sing the song first, clap the rhythms that matched the words and then make them out of paddle pop sticks in the correct order.
Year 5 - Ukuleles
This week the Year 5’s were introduced to the Ukulele. A fantastic tool for learning to play in groups, work on fine motor skills, understanding chord structures and is a lot of fun!
