Junior School Newsletter - Term 2, Week 6

Term 2 2018, Week 6

Our long awaited excursion to the Australian National Aviation Museum went off without a hitch and we enjoyed some wonderful weather while we were learning about the history of the airport, the planes and the important role the airport plays in our community. Following on from this fun day, our students enjoyed the Italian Day experience, undertaking a range of Italiano themed activities and an Italian lunch! Yum! We are very excited about our Open Night this week when the students will be able to showcase their dioramas and explain the aspects of their community that are important to them. It is on from 6pm-7pm and you are all invited to work on the dioramas with your children and talk about how our local community has changed over the years and any similarities from the communities you grew up in.

Thank you to Kate S, Libby B, Shane P, Michelle G and Brian H for their wonderful contribution and support during our Museum excursion, we couldn't have done it without you!
