Making The Most Of This Weather!

Wow! What beautiful weather we have been having lately. One afternoon we decided to make the most of this by taking our Duffy Books outside and reading under the trees.

Look at those independent readers!

It was interesting to see the girls in our class doing this so silently and independently, and the boys all sat in a circle and listened to me read a story for them. It was a beautiful way to end the day, and something we will do more often as the weather gets better and better heading into Summer.

A Day on the Slopes

We went Skiing!

What a great day some of us had up Mt Hutt. It was beautiful weather and even better company. A big bunch of us took to the slopes on Wednesday. We had a ball. The students did a great job, and for some it was their first time seeing snow. We all had a go on the magic carpet, some of us even went up the chairlift with Mr Boyd..super brave!
Bring on next years trip.

Looking good Ms Raisin

Excited for the day ahead of us.

Random Acts of Kindness Week

Our resource

A couple of weeks ago we had Random Acts of Kindness Week at our school. Each day we focused on Making Someone's Day- our school value. Mr Wilkinson even got involved, and organised a coffee cart for parents in the morning. On Friday we had a whole day of this. We had a letterbox set up on the field and we all had to write letters for people around the school. These then got delivered in the afternoon!

Collecting the letters up to deliver

So many letters!

We then decided we wanted to Make People's Day in our community. On Friday afternoon we wrote notes for our neighbours- they said things like "You have a nice garden" "I hope this makes you smile". We wandered around the streets and put these notes in peoples letterboxes. The next week, a lady replied and said we had made her day... a great feeling!

Lovely notes ready to be delivered to letterboxes around our school.
