Mathletics is a fun and interactive way for your child to keep up with there Maths skills at home. In Room 11 it is expected that every child to at least achieves 500 points a week. This will give them 10 points for their house. It is great to see all those children putting their results on the class chart. Come in and have a look!

    ANZAC DAY

    ANZAC Day
    The first week back this term, we have been looking at ANZAC Day. We have been gathering lots of information about WW1, WW2 and Gallipoli. We had one of our parents Darren Mackay come in and share all his knowledge about the war. Also we had two reading groups make ANZAC biscuits with parent help and we all made our own poppies for art.
    Below is a statement each child has made about ANZAC Day.
