Australia Through the Decades Presentation
Well done to everyone for all of the hard work you put into presenting your Decades Task - you all did a fantastic job of documenting over 150 years of Australian history! A big thank you to all the parents who came along to view our displays and bushdancing demonstration! Thanks to Mrs Foyster for teaching us how to Strip the Willow, do the Heel & Toe Polka and dance the Waves of Bondi!
I hope you all have a relaxing holiday - you deserve it after a busy first semester in Year 6!
I look forward to seeing you all in Term 3.
First day back is Monday 22 July.

Week 2 Reflection
It's been another great week in 6A!
We had our first bush dancing lesson in the shed - it was so much fun! Mrs Foyster taught at how to Heel and Toe and Strip the Willow. Can't wait for next week! We also had our first Peer Support session which was a great success. Congratulations to everyone who competed at the NCIS Touch Football Championships on Wednesday and good luck to those students who made the team to compete in Sydney.
What was the highlight of your week?
