Week 7

The class had a fantastic time last week at Redwood Indoor Action Sports!  It was great to see such enthusiasm, competition and energy!  On Tuesday we are having the class poetry competition. Thursday is the Year3/4 finals at 9:10 in the hall.  We are currently working on our papier mache projects which are coming along nicely.  If you have any spare newspapers this would be much appreciated.  Have a fantastic week, Trish and Ros.

WEEK 6

What a fantastic effort last week with Year 4 Team bake sale! Just over a $1000 was raised which was an amazing effort! This will go towards our camp fee.  A reminder on Wednesday we have our Big Day Out trip to Redwood Action Sports.  All parents who indicated they can join us, many thanks. Please touch base with us if you are meeting us at the venue.  How are the poems going?  Our class competition is now on Tuesday 2^nd September with the Year 3/4 finals on Thursday 4th September in the hall. Have a great week.

Last Friday Lexi competed in a jazz exam.  We know she would have been amazing!
