Happy Birthday Maʻam

Happy birthday maʻam was the cry as the Queen arrived with her corgi Pippa. Queenʻs birthday weekend just wouldnʻt be the Queenʻs birthday without a party to celebrate ... so thatʻs just what happened. We dressed for the occasion, practiced the protocols and indulged in some party food. We have to say a special thanks to the parents who entered into the spirit of the day and dressed in their best.

The ʻopeningʻ of the mimio

Well, today was finally the day the Mimio was unveiled. The teachers had stayed quite late on friday night as they were so busy playing! But they built some great resources ... but today was the childrenʻs turn o experiment. Jorja is using Kid Pix to draw and print her own creation. We were able to purchase this thanks to money raised at the Allyson Gofton night.

The bike raffle winner

Wow, how cool! Molly arrived at the bike-a-thon on a trike and left on this fabulous bike. Congratulations!

The Bike-a-thon

The weather was perfect, the company was even better, so it was no wonder we had a fantastic day! This is the first time we have had our bike-a-thon on a Sunday but it was greta. A special THANKS to all our helpers, you certainly did a great job. We also have to say thanks to Bob or Mr J as he is affectionately known in his role as school caretaker at Botany Downs School. It was so good of him to give up his Sunday to help us set up and pack up. We really appreciate the support of Botany Downs School.

A massive scrunchie

Recently the teachers (and relievers) went to a music course with ʻKids Music Companyʻ and as usual with their courses we were hugely inspired. One inspiration was the use of this massive scrunchie. We have so many ideas for itʻs use ... it is so cool.

Thanks Clive

Clive, how did you know that teachers really like fudge? I have to tell you that we enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

Reclaiming the dance studio

One of the best things about completing the alteration is being able to reclaim our dance studio. You can see it stacked to the ceiling with all our goodies in a previous blog. The children enjoyed the extension of the stage with a runway. We look forward to more performances captured on our CCTV.
