It has been a busy and exciting start the second term in P4. We have continued our exploration of poetry, time, patterns, data, our changing environment and healthy choices. We have also started reading the 13 Story Tree House series of books together as a class and flew through the first book and have eagerly started the second. It will be interesting to see how many stories of the treehouse we can visit during the year.

We have made an ANZAC Day wreath and ANZAC biscuits with P5, and in the background of our reading photo you can also see our ANZAC stained glass window art.

Of course in the first week back we all participated in the Cross Country and Mason worked very hard to finish second in the 2km run. It seemed like a very long way to run, but Miss Jo and students not currently running, loved cheering all students the whole way around as everyone tried their absolute best.

We also enjoyed a visit from our local Aboriginal Elder and love exploring her culture, traditions and language with our friends from P5. Speaking of visits, we are very excited for our upcoming Mother’s Day afternoon tea which you should have the invitation for. We have been working hard at some secret projects for that. We understand that some of our mums may be working and unable to attend and are very happy for substitute mums, like an adult sister or grandmother, to come instea. It promises to be a lovely afternoon (you can fight it out over the special treats later when they come home). 

We are really enjoying our learning journey so far this year and look forward to it continuing. Thank you for all your support and great communication so far this year.
