The Sun, Earth and Moon
Students are exploring the earth’s relationship with the sun and how the sun, earth and moon interact. They are learning that the rotation of the earth on its axis causes regular changes, including night and day, and the pattern of the seasons. We have also learnt how the sun gives us energy in many ways.

Disco Divas!
Our wonderful P & C held an after school dress-up disco which was a huge success. Students danced the evening away with their bright coloured glow sticks and enjoyed a sausage sizzle dinner. Thank you to Miss Karla for being a fantastic DJ and thank you also to Wattle Grove Speckle Park for donating the delicious sausages. We appreciate the hard work from the P & C and your support of this event, which raised approximately $2000.
