Reception – Year 2 Fun Day

Posted on December 8, 2015 by lisasporn

Today we held our annual R-2 Fun Day. This is a wonderful time for our students to have a relaxing and fun day outdoors. Our theme for the day is earth, wind, air and we bring along different items we could use on the day, e.g.. bubble wands, frisbees, sand play equipment, footies, soccer balls, kites, games …..just to name a few of the things we brought today. We had 3 different sessions and then a relaxed afternoon in our classrooms.

We had an early picnic lunch and our families joined us if they could. As a special treat the teachers bought the children ice blocks – great for busy active children.

This was a great way for us to celebrate our year of working together.

Christmas Craft Morning

Posted on December 2, 2015 by lisasporn

This morning our year 2 classes had a Christmas craft morning. Each class had 3 different activities and parents helped to run each of them. It was a fantastic morning making peg reindeers, a variety of ornaments for our Christmas trees at home, wooden stars, wooden decorations …..just to name a few!

We would like to thank all of the parents that made time to come in and help us with our special crafty morning – it was lovely to have so many helpers working with us!

Craigburn’s Got Talent

Posted on December 1, 2015 by lisasporn

Today we held our annual Craigburn’s Got Talent show. This is an Reception to Year 7 event and gives every student the chance to audition and maybe make the final. Over the last few weeks we’ve been holding auditions for each year level and came up with a final show of 16 items.

WOW! What an amazing show it was. We had DJ’s pumping out the beat, dancers, ballet dancing to piano music, a piano item, many individual and group dance items, a magic show…..the list goes on!

The entire crowd was highly entertained by every item and we thought every performer did their very best to put on a good show! We thought they were very brave to perform in front of such a huge audience.

Here are some of today’s performers.

Congratulations to Ethan and his team of zombies on their winning item called Thriller – what an amazing choreography!

Our second prize went to our Reception boys group called JWL – what a fantastic DJ and group.

Third prize went to a very talented group of Year 5 girls who had an entertaining dance item.

Well done to everyone who auditioned and especially today’s finalists!

We can’t wait for next years show.

Sports Expo

Posted on November 20, 2015 by lisasporn

On Thursday we braved the heat to participate in our annual Sports Expo. We had a great day – as usual! We loved joining in with the different sports clinics and learned lots of new skills.

The sports we played were:

soccer
hockey
gymnastics
yoga
wheelie sports
cricket

We’d never played some of these sports before and this was a great chance to see what they were like. Not only did we need to learn the different sports and the skills needed to play a game but we had a strong focus on being a good sport too.

We’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to Mrs Pettman, our PE teacher, who co-ordinated the entire day. She had to make some last minute changes due to the heat and baseball being cancelled. We’re going to catch that session up in a couple of weeks.

What was your favourite part of Sports Expo?

Letters to Santa

Posted on November 18, 2015 by lisasporn

Today our whole class wrote letters to Santa.

We learned how to write a letter, how to set a letter out properly, we asked Santa a few questions and we also mentioned a couple of presents we’d like to receive for Christmas. We were very busy on our laptops and desktop computers typing the good copies of our letters. We should receive a letter from Santa around December the 18th – fingers crossed!!

Here we are busily typing!

What would you ask Santa for? How do you celebrate Christmas with your family?

Gala Day

Posted on November 15, 2015 by lisasporn

Last Friday we had our annual Gala Day. This involves our Yr 3-7 students offering to run a stall of any kind. These stalls can be: selling cupcakes, popcorn, nail painting, soccer goal competition, bike rides, knocking skittles over, face painting, games of many kinds…..just to name a few. It’s a great enterprise opportunity for our students to work out how to run a stall and promote it around the school via posters.

The Reception to Year 2 students have the first chance to go shopping, play games or go on rides and then the Yr 3-7 students to have a turn.

We use the money raised to sponsor our school’s World Vision child in Africa.

Remembrance Day

Posted on November 11, 2015 by lisasporn

Today is Remembrance Day. This is a very important day in Australian history as it is a special memorial day for Australia and the Commonwealth Nations. At 11am on the 11th of November we pause to remember all of the soldiers who have fought and died for Australia.

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month represents the formal end to hostilities of the First World War and so we pause for a minute to remember all of the soldiers who have or are fighting to keep Australia a safe country for us to live in.

Many of our students made red poppies to wear for the day. The red poppies are a emblem from the poem In Flander’s Fields and the red also reminds us of the blood that has been spilled during war.

Our SLEG students hosted today’s very important assembly and did a wonderful job.

Student Awards

Posted on November 11, 2015 by lisasporn
