We have had a great start to the term, having welcomed our new friends Summer, Havana, Sofia and Leo.

In between swimming lessons, bush school camp and book week we have managed to fit in some of our main lesson!

We are exploring the changes in our local natural environment that occur in the seasons of Spring and Summer.

We are hearing all kinds of stories, verses, songs and poems about plants, flowers, seeds, bulbs, insects, rain and sun.

During  the seasons of Djilba, Kambarang and Birak there is a lot to notice.

One morning it was very special to see a mother duck and her ducklings wandering around near our classroom.

In our poem ‘Arise Sleepy Seeds’ the seed babies wake up and push their shoots and stems up toward the sun where flowers bloom.

This led to us making some little seed babies from wood and felt in handcraft.

We continue to learn lovely tunes on the recorder and lyre and on these spring days it is very peaceful to sit out in the fresh air for our lyre lesson with Sophia.

At the end of last term we finished making our own handwritten books about what we do at school on each of the days of the week. 

So in the first week of this term we really enjoyed being able to share some time with the older students and read our books to them.

Thank you for your encouragement Class 6’s!
