2/3P have had an excellent year and continue to work hard as we come to the end of a very busy Term 4. This term 2/3P went on two excursions. Year 2 had a great time visiting the Australian Museum and had some interesting information to report back to the class. Year 3 visited Blackbutt Reserve in Newcastle and wrote some fantastic recounts of their animal encounters and creepy crawly experiences. We have also participated in making some yummy food treats and worked on interesting Science experiments as part of our procedure writing. As part of our “The Australian Journey” unit, students have created models and dioramas of Australian landforms. The students had some fantastic ideas to create their models and used lots of different creative techniques to construct their landforms. They have done an excellent job. 2/3P were very excited about the recent dress up day which had the theme “All I want for Christmas”. There were lots of great costumes and lots of hard work and thought put into them. Well done! On behalf of all the students in 2/3P we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. Megan Hakopa—Class Teacher

CANTEEN—LAST DAY OF TERM On the last day of school (Wednesday 19th December) the canteen will open at recess only —11am to 11.40am for drinks and snacks only. NO LUNCH ORDERS.
