Gardening this week is on Thursday morning Eckermann -9am, Semmler -10am.
Guest speaker, Gary Passmore, highlighting Reconciliation Week, is speaking to us about Connecting to the Country this Friday morning. This is in relation to the current unit we are studying in Christian studies - People's need of spirituality and how Australians seek to fulfill it. We have been encouraged by the enthusiasm of the students who have asked adults the questions they compiled during class last Tuesday and look forward to some interesting discussions.
Recently we have spoken to students about the poor language choices that some are making in the class and yard.
Australian Lutheran World Service will present on the theme What if? on Monday June 3rd. As part of this, recess and lunch will be catered for, in the spirit of the day.
Our Restaurant experience as planned and prepared by the students is happening in Week 9.
(Mrs Eckermann’s class 26th June and Mr Semmler’s class the 27th June)
Exploration leads to discovery and develops new understandings is our latest Unit of Inquiry. Ask about some recent experiments that have taken place.
