Well, we have already had a great start to our Term 2 learning. Everyone has come back ready and enthusiastic to learn. We will be exploring the festivals and celebrations that this term brings through literacy, numeracy, music and art. There will also be a great deal of work in our enterprise project for the Christmas Fayre, so look out for our wonderful products coming your way soon! In addition to all of this we have a small matter of Nativity during the term, and we look forward to sharing our acting and singing talents with you all in December.
