Our highlights from the past fortnight include engaging in elastic games inspired from the 100year celebrations, poison ball and practicing our footy kicking. We have also been painting owls and wattle trees with Miss Jenny during before school sessions. It has been great to see our children taking turns to run activities such as drawing and group games to develop confidence and leadership skills. We also spent a morning making paper planes and seeing how far we could fly them – it was encouraging to see our older children supporting younger children to develop their plane making skills to increase the flight distance.
