It takes only a few minutes here or there. We need helpers to do simple regular tasks in our gardens and grounds.

It has been wonderful to see students sharing holiday stories and getting stuck into learning to start term 4.

Yay the SLOSSS is open! St Leonards Outdoor Sensory Safe Space.  In 2017 teachers worked with grade 5/6 students and community members, Sonja Di Pietro and Wayne Long to create the SLOSSS concept.

We are over half way through term 3 and there’s lots happening. Our Book Week Celebration Day today gave students the opportunity to really appreciate picture books from an artistic viewpoint, to learn from each other in cross age groupings and to have great fun dressing up and parading as their favourite book characters. To ‘double loop’ the learning our focus books were connected to our Saving the Planet inquiry focus.  

It’s wonderful to return from leave and see our learning community in full swing, and to see the engagement kids already have with Sharing our Planet - Sustainability and their related inquiries. I asked 5/6s what sustainability meant and Riley said that “Its just making sure that there is enough of everything for the whole planet.”  

Congratulations must go to all the students who have returned to school with a positive attitude and showing the school values of being respectful, responsible and safe. There has been a steady flow to the office with students collecting their rewards for completing a row on their sticker charts and even more names added to Mrs. Cowburn’s lunch list.
