END OF TERM ONE CELEBRATIONS

It has been a long, but successful term with many fun and exciting events and learning experiences.
Today we farewelled Mr Bokser and the children had fun organising lots of fun games to share with him.

Later we shared the wonderful work on different countries created during our "Around the World" inquiry. After a community lunch we were all treated to fun facts, dances, songs and even a caber toss. Have a great holiday and enjoy a well deserved rest.
