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.

Is the end in sight?



Thatʻs the question we have been asking ourselves. We are two and a half weeks into term 3 and still sorting out the last of the mess that building brings. Last week it felt like there was no end in sight, but with some extremely long days most of the ʻbitsʻ have found a final resting place. We just have to build a shed now to house all the things that have been rammed into every spare space in the shed. The new office space and storeroom look good, donʻt they?
