Christmas in 4th & 5th Class
We have been very busy the last few weeks practising our Christmas performance ‘I’m a Santa Claus Get Me Out of Here’. We performed our play on Friday for our families. A big Well Done to all the children. Miss Johnston was very proud of them, they were SUPER!
We have been getting into the Christmas spirit at school with a visit from Santa Claus, singing Christmas songs and playing Christmas songs on our Ukuleles. We are excited about going on our cinema trip this week to see the movie ‘Home Alone’.

Well done 4th/5th class on completing your first term. A great bunch full of fun and enthusiasm the first term was a busy one with the children beginning ukulele, maths stations, SWST, conducting experiments, keeping active and making the most of the fleeting summer sunshine.
