Well done Room 17 for being so well behaved in assembly and now having Junior Marty Bear in our room for the week. 
We are going to share it with Room 16 as we work collaboratively with them.
He really enjoyed watching the bubble machine as well as us doing our bubble art work.

Welcome to our blog

Hi everyone, 

We hope you had a relaxing holiday over the Summer break. It is great to see how excited all the children are to be working collaboratively in their new classroom spaces. There will be lots of fantastic opportunities coming up this year starting with 'Garden to Table' in Week 3. The 'Meet the Teacher' evening will be held next Tuesday at 6.30pm. We look forward to meeting you all soon. 

Check out photos of Room 16 and 17 working collaboratively together.
