The end of Gymkids, the arrival of bees and photobombers

To the relief of teachers and the dismay of students, this week saw the end of Gymkids, which they have found truly enjoyable experience where they learnt new skills, grew their confidence and built their courage.

Student teacher Bridie Macfarlaine pulled out all the stops in organising a beekeeping expo, where students got the chance to taste (and win) various types of honey and wear a beekeeping suit.

 

Parent Teacher Conferences and Book Week

What a pleasure it was the meet the parents this week. Having met you all- including the parents who could not make it,  it is an honour, and truly inspiring, to be working alongside such caring and devoted parents, who also are extremely nice people.

The bond and love between you and your child is apparent through your interaction and their writings, as well as their fabulous costumes for the Book Parade!

Congratulations to Zach and Toby for their winning art

Solitary Bee Home

Dear parents

I am a student from H23. We are making bee homes for a school project because the number of bees are going down and their homes are being destroyed.

You have always supported us with our learning so I am sure you’ll be happy to help us with the materials we need for our project.

If bees die we will die in 4 years because no food and no clothes. If bees die.

We need to build bee homes because we have lost 60% of native bees in the last 3 years. They will be able to get shelter and lay there eggs.

Our school will turn into a royal garden.

You should help me because it’s a school project and it’s urgent that we save the bees to help the bees and save the planet together.

                                        Your sincerely Zach

Year 4 assembly presented by H23

A great job by our hosts, Keira and Janelle, for the team assembly this afternoon- you collaborated on a great script.

Green for growth: Focus on sounding natural, don't worry about sticking to the script if it's taking a while- say what you're thinking.

Kudos to everyone who shared their work with us.
